EVERY BOOK BANNED FROM THE READING BOWL HAS BEEN RESTORED!!!!!

The kids will be able to read and compete over all 20 books. Raising the issue made a difference. Teen advocates made a difference.

Write, draw, be creative, take breaks, I don't know, do whatever the hell you've got to do to cope, bro. Keep the things that give you joy close and spread them around. Shit sucks right now. I have no idea when it won't suck so much. But whatever you're doing to get by right now is valid.

Here is my heartfelt plea - help a trans lesbian author - me - make enough money to keep going.

My move eased a lot of fiscal pressure, but not all, and I'd counted on Pride to be a big boost for me. Instead, it's my worst sales month ever. So please, check out my books.

As a queer author, thank you for buying our gay books in response to the challenges and bans and court decisions, but I implore you to go stand up for your public libraries and schools—they’re our greatest advocates, and they’re kind of the main target of this whole effort.
