Trump is asking us to start choosing groups we're willing to abandon, and the only way to make him stop is to be clear we're not fucking abandoning ANYONE. Call your reps. Call your fucking reps. Especially in red states. Use the @5calls.org app, it's easy and free.

hi, cis folks! that thing we kept warning about? it’s happening. and a lot of democrats won’t fight unless they’re afraid it will destroy them politically. US senators need to hear your voices. our healthcare isn’t a bargaining chip. contact info: reps.fyi tap in the thread for scripts & info.

Can we just let the young people have their slang without overanalyzing it and trying to understand exactly what it means? I don't need to know what my kids mean when they say "6-7" (though I will say "ate 9" in response). Let the children play with language!

I made a free printable bookmark you can use for any banned books week (or before or after!) displays, books, etc., that gives people *action items* for defending the right to read. buttondown.com/wellsourced/...

Our Alaska chapter wrote an opinion piece ahead of Banned Books Week. www.adn.com/opinions/202...

Silencing authors leads to silencing kids. Many of us have witnessed the way a book has empowered a child to speak up for themselves or others. To get help. This is how change happens. Predators want to shut this down. That’s the tragedy of censorship. And it’s happening everywhere.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Serious question: Where in the YA section do we send these millions of boys who loved reading (or at least grudgingly read) Diary of a Wimpy Kid in middle school?? They want humor, and their sense of humor is still largely juvenile, but they are now in high school.

My theory about the autism/neurodivergence panic? Yes it's rooted in transphobia and the eugenics of people on the spectrum who need assistamce with ADLs...but it's also linked to a disdain for a very vocal, hyper competent, demographic of skilled people with injustice sensitivity.

Curious why a standard picture book is 32 pages in traditional #KidLit trade publishing? And why NOT all 32 pages are for story content? In this #PictureBooks101 post, I explain picture book format & construction: debbieohi.com/2025/09/pict...

Quick poll for my friends with 4th-8th graders at home - do your kids know who Smokey Bear is?

I just took a look at the cozy bundle and guys you need to get in on this one. The content I already own from the bundle is top tier, so if you haven’t checked out these creators yet you will not be disappointed snatching this one up. I can’t wait for the spooky one! I do love all things spooky!

Do one thing today to help. One thing tomorrow. One thing the day after. Taking a swing at every bad thing happening is just going to burn you out. Remember, if everyone does their one thing the world changes

Don't mind me, I'm just over here doing an inordinate amount of research for a small detail in my fictional story. #writerproblems

fabulous

Which we can spot as fake right away for many reasons, but most of all because it's so generic. Real readers latch on to specifics. That 1 line that epitomizes their favorite trope. That thing a character did that they hated. The moment when they squealed with delight or cried with despair.

For those cancelling certain streaming services - don’t forget that your library *still loans* DVDs/BlueRays/4K ultra things and many offer movies through Kanopy. Check them out! (Haha pun intended)
