Anti-War protest tonight at 6 pm at the White House. Spread the word!

need a new word for the type of 21st century grief you feel when you find a very stupid meme that would have had your buddy wheeze-laughing. i would have crushed it with this one:

cville! if you've been following the community coalition asking the school board to rethink & revote on SROs.... this is our next move 😎

one basic skill that would be really helpful in community organizing work is the ability to remember names and faces. but if i met you more than a week ago and now you have bangs?? you are, unfortunately, a stranger to me

i did not think i would like the new running man movie but i am trying to be less judgemental so i watched the new running man movie and guess what??? i hated it

really relieved that our school board adopted a resolution against ICE; really glad that some of them are connecting it to other forms of police terror; really unsurprised to see Meyer absolutely, fundamentally misread the moment www.vpm.org/news/2026-04...

we gotta send so many guys to the Hague

idk guys when i see a lot of similar headlines insisting that editors & authors are all already embracing AI, i don't assume these things are true. i assume there are a lot of very rich people with an unpopular product pushing a particular narrative in my industry!

CTA: HB650/SB351 originally required schools to notify their communities when federal immigration enforcement is present, but that was removed. Governor Spanberger can fix this. Students, faculty, and staff in Virginia deserve to feel safe and informed. Sign and share to help keep campuses safe.

treat yourself and listen to what cville had to say: youtu.be/6ygNkvIHuH4?...

in theory i love the spirit of whimsy and misrule behind april fool's but in practice i am simply too gullible for this sort of tomfoolery

oh my god look at the turnout at the cville school board tonight 😭😭😭

sorry i know it's supposed to be a scandal but there is literally nothing you could do that is more embarrassing than being married to that woman

and: the school board meeting is TONIGHT!! 6:00pm at CHS. there will be someone at the front door with signs and talking points! you don’t have to stay for the whole meeting, or offer public comment–we need friends to stand in solidarity, too!

so, so grateful for all the parents, teachers, and community members quoted in this article 💕 www.cvilletomorrow.org/charlottesvi...

a good weekend is when you find a pristine 1989 edition of a classic & extremely bonkers historical romance for 25¢ at the spca rummage sale 🙏

in an era defined by openly evil & braindead ethnostate politics....this argument has got to be one of the most evil & most braindead

guys who have very clearly never organized anything bigger than a birthday party logging on to make snide lil posts about no kings. talking about a general strike when you couldn't coordinate snacks for a 4th grade soccer team 🤭

last fall i special ordered some double tulips and i am, as expected, obsessed with them

idk charlottesville. i guess I just don't think kids should have to go to school in the morning and be faced with the same uniforms who were terrorizing their neighborhood until two in the morning 🤷‍♀️

cville! come make signs with us for the 3/31 school board meeting! we'll order dominos and put a movie on for the kids!!

sorry I'm like this y'all but you have FIVE MORE DAYS, is all, and because I have totally forgotten to mention it, let me just add that one lucky nominator will win a whole pile of books, which is to say the entire 2025 shortlist! could be yours! go forth and nominate!

Some good news: the public pressure worked! The school board has scheduled a work session for SRO’s on Thursday, April 16th at 5pm in the CHS library. Good work everyone!

Well I just got the OK so I am doing MY OWN DANG COVER REVEAL WICKHILLS has a cover now! Illustrated by Tom Roberts and designed by Russell Trakhtenberg! Which I copied and pasted so I would not make a typo! Anyway, BEHOLD! us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

for no particular reason here are some nostalgic fantasy books from my childhood that i have read to my kids! the enchanted forest chronicles the chrestomanci books the dark is rising series the hobbit gregor the overlander percy jackson the black cauldron inkheart island of the aunts

hey cville! come make signs with us sunday evening for the 3/31 school board meeting!

at every event, someone (usually a woman, usually a parent) asks me how I do it. this is why I'm very, very clear that i have a career for the same reason most men with kids do: my spouse keeps me and my children alive.

We are constantly being bombarded with information making it hard to keep up on the latest developments in transgender rights. This is why I helped create state level email alerts for transgender rights policy and law changes. 🏳️‍⚧️ Cut through the noise: l4gg.org/TransDigest

Today's the day!! Somehow! Somehow it is 10 months from when I made this post & you can get this book out in the world wherever you get your books!

if you're a B&N person... it's their 25% off preorder sale! you could even theoretically preorder my short story collection??? it's called The Slantwise Histories: Collected Stories and i can't show you the cover yet but i can tell you that it slaps www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-slantw...

several members of the Board are convinced that they only have to respond to an issue if their inboxes get flooded. if you have a second--this link will auto-send an email to every Board member :) www.justice4all.org/rethinkrevote/

An impressive organizing campaign is underway to get Charlottesville City Schools to rethink and revote its unsafe plan to return police to schools. 1) Sign the petition: c.org/SPNzfPVyGZ 2) Email the school board: www.justice4all.org/rethinkrevote/ 3) Attend the March 31 school board meeting.

cville! the legal aid justice center & a bunch of local orgs have launched a campaign asking the school board to revote on SROs. click here to sign the petition, c.org/SPNzfPVyGZ and here www.justice4all.org/rethinkrevote/ to instantly email every member of the board!

when elected officials tell you they're just so tired of talking about this issue and you're like girl, same??? did you think petitions are my passion?? did you think all these people are here recreationally???

so glad that, with each step we take down the ladder to outright fascism, there are a couple of media guys ready to explain why it's not that big a deal. thanks so much guys. idk why i was worried about the paramilitary force asking for papers

Charlottesville friends, this is for a beloved family in our community. They have been ordered to leave the country in a few weeks and this money will go to the appeal they are filing. If you know this family, you know what a loss this will be for all of us. Please share and donate as able.

very nice gentleman came through my signing line today and told me he was surprised that i didn't seem anything like my book and i said how so?? and he said "happy" lolll

cville! i get to do a really neat panel today as part of the virginia festival of books! i will only talk the TINIEST, most TASTEFUL amount about local organizing 💕

Here is a win worthy of some celebration: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

charlottesville i am holding your hand while i say this, but the best fried chicken sandwich in this city is actually from the wich lab on the mall

for some reason (the knowledge that 100% of my money is going toward torture camps, surveillance tech, and warfare, rather than vaccines or public radio) i am having a hard time starting my taxes this year

This dreadful book banning bill, H.R. 7661, has made it out of committee and into the House. It's time to call your reps.

as a parent I would so much rather that my kid encounter *any* topic in a book before encountering it in real life, lol

Time to call your reps! No matter where you are, no matter who your rep is they need to hear from you. Script is available at @5calls.org.

I can't believe I'm saying this and it's not a meme, but polls close at 7 in Illinois, so if you're in line to vote, STAY IN LINE. You can register TODAY with a piece of business mail and vote TODAY. Every vote counts. It's a sunnier, nicer day out than we all thought it would be! Get out there!

one thing I'm not gonna do is tell you, a stranger in my signing line, if my book is appropriate for your 13yo. baby i was reading kushiel's dart at 13 i am not the one to ask
