Another school district just quietly removing over 500 (FIVE HUNDRED) books in the last year. This stuff is not slowing down

Keep creating, even if the world feels hard. Even if the work feels hard. The world needs your voice. There's a kid out there who will be changed because of your imagination and efforts. And even if the work feels lonely, you aren't alone. I'm so proud to be in the publishing trenches with you.

Mass Freedom to Read is a new coalition that represents Massachusetts parents and readers, authors and creators, libraries, booksellers, and publishers. We believe that freedom of expression, including the freedom to read, is a fundamental American right, protected by the First Amendment. 🧵

I just saw Superman film at the movies. 🍿 Love a packed theater and spontaneous applause at the end of a film! Then came home to read outside. Ahhh, the small joys of summer vacation. #readtogether #amreading

Dystopian author here, noticing trends… Did you know we can buy eye glasses now that prevent facial recognition programs? Good to know… www.zennioptical.com/id-guard

Tune out to tune in. Reading is good for mental health. #Readtogether #bluehydrangea #amreading
