I didn’t watch this but am I to understand that an elderly Black man stood up to a fascist, was then escorted out, and most of the white people in the room sat there and did nothing? Am I getting this right? I want to make sure before I say what I need to say.

If you're wondering whether you should promote your book or your latest publication now with all the chaos, the answer is yes. We need your words. We need to flood the channels with art and literature. So go for it, friends.

New social media app, new introduction post! I’m an illustrator who especially loves working on book covers, endpapers, anything + everything under one big bookish umbrella. It’s very nice to meet y’all 🐁⚔️

They want so badly for me to live in fear and despair. But I’m cuddled in bed right now with my girlfriend and cat, in the house I share with my beloved roommates, and every single one of these heartless bigots I see raging against us looks like they’ve never known love in their lives.

The fact that TX teachers are literally selling out their current students when I would literally put myself on the line for any of my ex students despite that being a full 2 careers ago. Like, those were MY students - you’re going through me before you touch them. Some ppl shouldn’t be teachers.

I'd you're worried about the disappearance of art and contemporary online culture of marginalised groups on the internet, you can help archive it!

This is the most fun, most ACCURATE “you should read this next” quiz I’ve ever taken! Also, the quiz itself is a fantastically mystical piece of interactive writing.

It was true a month ago and it’s even more true now. Please consider going to NIH RePORTER to look up how much money your state gets from NIH funding, and then write to your elected representatives about the impact that ending NIH grant review will have. No NIH study section==no NIH funding.
