I write MG & YA books that win awards from people not related to me. Founding member of WENEEDDIVERSEBOOKS. Fight Book Bans!!!
- I'm going to regret saying this but if you are using AI to write anything important, you are intellectually deficient or morally corrupt or inexcusably lazy.
- Over on IG I've been posting an AAPI book a day to celebrate AAPI heritage month. They are all kid lit and YA books except for 1 adult book I snuck in there, but it is by a YA author so it still counts. The beautiful thing is I have more books than days to celebrate. I couldn't do this 20 years ago.
- The whole King drama really encapsulates why we should never idolize people. Because they will always disappoint you. After all, they are human. I wish he had listened to marginalized voices and just apologized instead of doubling down. Now an author I loved since I was a child, is no longer a fave.
- Also, it was only because of this drama that I realized he was a supporter of JKR. Which was another crucial reason for my deep disappointment. I will always support the transgender community.
- Dear all women, If you get married, KEEP YOUR NAME! If they want to take away our right to vote, then let's make Mrs. an obsolete honorific.

- Here's my daily medicine to get through these dark days.
- I've been screaming inside my head so much I can't think anymore. I hate what's happening to us so much. Even ice cream and donuts can't make me feel any better. The only thing that makes me feel a modicum of happiness is this:
- They're consolidating & hoarding generational wealth & power. That's what these tariffs & tax breaks are all about. All the money & power will remain in their families for generations while the rest of us can't break out of the neverending cycle of debt & poverty. And we simply let them do it to us.

- Thank you!!!!
- I just canceled an international school visit that I was really excited about and I just turned down another one. I hate this. I never get invited to visit international schools and when I finally am, I can't because this fascist regime scares me. I'm angry and so deeply stressed.

View full threadi'm in the DMV i heard that from people here in the whisper network.
- FYI I'm going to delete these responses soon
- The way white women are just now realizing and are horrified to learn that they were the largest beneficiaries of DEI is almost funny to watch, if it wasn't so sad. They didn't realize just how much conservative republican men hate women.
- Happy Trans Visibility Day! Thank you for being here.
- Today, my stress and anxiety is as high as it was on November 3rd, 2024. This week is so important my stomach hurts constantly. Vote blue people! We can do it!!

- It's getting bad again. I just made my threads account private. I may have to do so for blueskye next. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. Sending you lots of love!
- I keep trying to subscribe to the Atlantic and I keep getting an error message. Please tell me it's because of the overwhelming number of people wanting to subscribe to them!
- Reported in the Le Monde: "A French scientist, a space researcher, had his laptop searched at the US border and was sent back to Europe after private messages were found criticising President Trump. He was accused of messages which “can be described as terrorism.”" We are all in danger.

- Yes it is all overwhelming.

- He can't control judges, so he is trying to scare lawyers. Paul Weiss's capitulation is disgusting & egregious & absolute cowardice. They have stained their reputation forever. Lawyers need to be as brave as our judges have been.
- If you actively seek to tear down libraries that provide books, internet, and other resources to all people; public schools that provide education to all children; public housing and food for poor people; health care and equal rights for everyone - you are a bad person.
- Me every damn day since Jan 20th

View full threadI'm trying not to lose my mind bc it's been non stop but this one almost broke me.
- The news about Dept of Education almost broke me
- The Dept of Education news is absolutely devastating. My heart hurts and my stomach is a mess. The long term harm this will do especially after what happened during the pandemic - we may never recover.

- this made me laugh
- I've desperately needed Meghan Markle Sussex's lovely show With Love, Meghan because it is sweet and calming and just a balm on my tortured soul. Love it so much! And she is warm and natural and I love her! Can't wait to buy everything she makes bc it makes me happy. And we deserve nice things!

- We're never gonna change maga bc this is what they want. But we can awaken the 90 million voters that didn't vote.
- Great and currently "scared as fuck" minds think a like.
- Where are we in the "first they came for" chain?
- Today I am really mad and disappointed with myself! A black cybertruck sped by me before I could give it a nice middle finger salute. Damn it. I'll get you next time, swastitruck.

- I CAN'T WAIT FOR MY COPY!!!! May seems too long!
- Aw come on, it was clearly spontaneous combustion... no crime here...
- (AFP) - A dozen Teslas were torched in France in what authorities are treating as an arson attack, the prosecutor's office said Monday. @afpnews.bsky.social $TSLA
- Block doomsayers. We are already stressed and exhausted as it is. Don't need to hear anyone tell us "Nothing is going to help" of "If there's even a midterm" or "It's too late" BLOCK THAT SHIT!!! Stop talking about the Boy who Cried Wolf and let's remember that in Pandora's Box there's always hope.
- I love that the whole world has united in absolute hatred of Musky and that we have collectively made it our mission to destroy Tesla. I love that for him.
- Let's make this happen!!!
- I can't believe the racist purge at MSNBC! I love Joy Reid and Katie Phang!!!
- From now on, my new forever favorite sports team will always be the Philadelphia Eagles. And I don't even like football.
- We need to normalize not idolizing anyone. No human should be placed on a pedestal. No human is perfect. Even the worthiest of humans is not safe from big head syndrome which leads to the creation of some of the worst people and the abuse of power at all levels. And it starts with idolatry.

- I always say my scary books are for 4th grade and up but it is also depends on whether or not they like scary stories. It's called The House Next Door and it is about some kick ass boy characters and the bonds of friendship!
- But first they ban books
- Hello universe, I would like to stop living in interesting times. Give me boring, hum drum, nothing's happening, watching water boil times. Let's go back to being absolutely brain numbingly bored by the news. Please.
