Feed cleanse with some homemade ✨apple pie✨

Publishers should be invested in promoting the books they publish.

I’ll be baking Sally’s apple pie recipe after work today. She’s my go-to!

Books Save Lives.

Find your courage.
Follow your moral compass.
Do not obey in advance.

Banning books for kids — for all humans — is a form of violence.

Books Save Lives.

Ughhhh I have a hole in my tried and true evolv Elektra climbing shoes I’ve had for years so I splurged on evolv shaman LVs. Wish me luck breaking them in next week. 😭😭😭 #climbing

Truly so good!!! Not at all my usual type of book as someone who usually reads soft cinnamon roll queer romance but that book is such an incredible force.

She does! She’s done so many books across so many genres and age categories—some of my favorites have been Each of Us a Desert, It Had to Be You (as part of an ensemble), The Last Cuentista, Of Women and Salt and Across So Many Seas (as part of an ensemble).

Any book narrated by Frankie Corzo is an ABSOLUTE TREAT.

We all know ‘tragedy’ comes from Greek.

‘tragos’ = goat

‘aeidein’ = to sing

So ‘tragedy’ originally meant “goat song.”

Not to be confused with the GOAT song, which is probably “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman.

Happy reading!

NJ students in grades 6-12 will now learn about “the history of organized labor, notable strikes throughout history, unionization drives, and the collective bargaining process and existing legal protections in the workplace.”

This is genuinely so important, and so good to see. Jersey strong, baby!!

Nobody is “grooming” your kids to be gay or trans but people ARE grooming them to be Nazis.

Live your life in such a way that people aren't refreshing their social media 24/7 in hopes that there's breaking news that you have died.

Another morning to say that I will not vote for Gavin Newsom when he inevitably runs for president. If you want my vote, you should make sure to nominate someone who isn't a transphobe.

THE VALUE OF IMAGERY IN VERSE NOVELS FOR YOUNG READERS, a guest post by Cordelia Jensen

Because I love imagery, developing an image system for a verse novel is one of my favorite challenges.

Hurricane Erin’s substantial wind-field expansion over the past four days.

Me when I go out in public:

As I just said on CNN, my father's parents were Nakba survivors. I don't want Israeli children to live in fear and I don't want Palestinian children to starve to death. There is nothing anyone could do to make me put nationalistic talking points above basic human rights.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

Trying to decide if I want a “visit your village homosexual” tshirt to wear to the beach or a “visit your village homosexual” tank top to wear to the rock gym.

Thanks for the hilarious IBCK merch @michaelhobbes.bsky.social and @notalawyer.bsky.social from your village lesbian listener. 🫡
