First time seeing my name on a book...I'm feeling awfully good about it 🥰 Good trouble coming soon! bookstore.emerald.com/critical-rac...

Hearing the legend that is Patti LuPone screaming "ELON DON'T TOUCH MY FUCKING MONEY" last night was something I needed. What a queen.

sometimes dissociation is the only reasonable response kids

listening to On the Verge from Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown and picking out Patti LuPone's vowels and consonants from the ensemble open.spotify.com/track/2Oh4qz...

That about sums it up

how much of a stretch would it be to write an article on the immense overlap between kidlit scholars and musical theater fans?

This is pure supervillain behavior

I feel this in my soul. It’s a reflection of the same impetus that exists in meatspace where we are “required” to be on display and attacked by our abusers and perpetrators in order for those who should stand up and fight for us to get off their asses and do something.

India has the greatest units the rest of the world doesnt hear enough about. Nilgai is nice, but the great grand daddy of the genre is the scariest cow on the planet. meet the Gaur. It rhymes with power and it rhymes with sour. Yes that is a full sized tourist bus.

I will never be impressed or amused when presenters don't use an available, functional mic. This is bare minimum accessibility practice, and failing to do it is the fastest way to show that you are unserious regardless of what you have to say

Pssst It's Wednesday Have you backed up your novel (and your notes) recently?

Good morning! We can get through this.

A brief thread on alt-text. Alt text is descriptive text that conveys the meaning of an image. It's designed to make visual content accessible to people with vision disabilities. When a person uses assistive technology such as a screen reader, the screen reader will read the onscreen text aloud 1/7

Even beyond preorders local bookshop/ indie bookstores have been keeping my books alive? I didn't see any main stream anybody go all out on me? The badass indie booksellers who take chances on queer, anticapitalist, anticolonial, antiracist works have been there for me. So I am there for them.

What stage of chronic onlineness is it when every meme reads you for filth?

I always appreciate these breaths from Black Liturgies

Lil anticlimactic, no?

All of this.

Literally led with "unbothered." What's not clicking?

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics

You don't have to defend every book on the list. You have to object to the government telling you which ones you're allowed to see. And in Iowa, you have to object to the ban being expanded from school libraries to public libraries and bookshops. www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/...

The accuracy

Publisher: Do you want to put an LLM clause in the copyright statement? Me: Definitely. How specific can we get? Publisher: As specific as you like.

“Everything is public on Bluesky” does not mean you should scrape people’s post without their permission. Especially if they have the “I would rather people not see my stuff without logging in” box checked.

Ooo!

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

The real fascism is *checks notes* politely asking people to be respectful of others
