Just interrupting your day with my work buddy. I’m doing an on-paper read through and markup of the manuscript I’ve been in the thick of revising this fall, and Hanna is taking a nap. The world is a lot right now, and maybe you need this cute dog pic as much as I did.

My 8 yo and I started watching The Great British Baking Show yesterday…so of course today she made a cake! She says she wants to be a baker because of the combination of two things she loves: science and creativity ❤️

Authors Against Book Bans @authorsabb.bsky.social · Jun 27

Our statement in response to the Supreme Court ruling in Mahmoud v Taylor. Image thread with alt text. 1/4

Today's Supreme Court decision, though couched in the language of freedom and inclusivity, is a tragic failure for both the right to read and the rights of LGBTQIA+ people. Authors Against Book Bans stands firmly and fiercely against the decision and its rationale. To allow parents to "object" to the presence of positive books about the lives and rights of LGBTQIA+ people is to allow them to "object" to the existence of LGBTQIA+ students, parents, educators, and others in the wider community. You cannot “opt out” of reality, no matter what today’s majority opinion states. These books belong on shelves and these stories belong in classrooms and curricula.

We need to push back against these attempts to silence & frighten communities & show that the majority of people do not support censorship and the attacks on libraries. We need to show up for our libraries and library workers & let them know that they are not alone. We need to show up for freedom.

The relentless attacks on library workers, educators, and community members are meant to create an environment of fear in which people are afraid to buy books, afraid to check out books, afraid to teach a diversity of viewpoints, and afraid to even report censorship.

The freedom to read has been under attack for years now. But the censorship attacks on libraries aren’t just book bans. The individuals & groups behind the attacks on libraries are threatening programs, cutting funding, & trying to pass laws that target library workers and educators.

If you have trouble with the YouTube link it’s easy to find, just search for The Tree Gallery: Makers Notes on YouTube and watch Wood #2.

Case in point, my friend @JeremyMinnickArt who makes gorgeous creations out of wood. He sent me this video that I HAVE to share. There are so many parallels with writing that I took away from it. It’s quick, only 7 min, so won’t take too much time from your day: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHZF...

A 🧵

Part of my vision for my company, #EsperanceCreative, is someday to build a base of clients who create in LOTS of mediums, because there’s so much I believe that we can learn from each other outside of our own craft communities.
