This is a verified GoFundMe for librarian Luanne James from the Rutherford County Library Alliance. gofund.me/f7704eb98 Read what happened to this hero: www.newschannel5.com/news/rutherf...

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

I'm still doing a GoFundMe to help my parents rebuild after a devastating house fire. The costs of doing so, with an uninsured house, are extremely high. My parents are elderly and low-income and my disabled brother lives with them. I deeply appreciate shares of this link! gofund.me/ac93c03d5

This is what Potter money pays for. Why pay money to watch pretend heroes when you’re propping up a villain in real life?

The new IOC (Olympic) policy banning transgender women from competing in women's sports is inhumane, disgusting, and rooted in ignorance. sports.yahoo.com/olympics/bre...

Another banger from @livesinpages.bsky.social — I can taste the olive juice 🍸🍸🍸

ALA is disappointed that the House Committee on Education & Workforce moved forward dangerous federal book banning legislation yesterday. HR 7661 contains vague, confusing, and overly broad language, inviting government censorship. More from ALA: www.ala.org/news/2026/03... (1/2)

H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban all my books, & any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps & say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

Has someone come up with a word for literary incels yet?

If you’re a pop-culture feminist who doesn’t take GamerGate or video games-as-culture seriously, I just don’t have time for you or your takes

This book is so smart and wonderful! Thrilled to see it getting its flowers 😍

So many incredible authors/books and amazing reviewers on this list. ✨✨✨ the community is truly taking care of business out here 🔥

Brb going to lay on the floor and do my best screaming goat impression

Haven’t picked a reading, but appreciate that this is probably the one place the erotic lesbian cheese story might be appropriate….

Some good news.

Wohoooooo!!! Yes @livesinpages.bsky.social congrats! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

My book is coming out in January. if you're interested in pitching a review of it or an interview with me, I'd be delighted and grateful 🥺 it's speculative short stories. There's monsters, outer space, and pie! This beauty thinks you'd like it:

And it was great to see you @stephanieaustin.bsky.social @sabrinahicks.bsky.social @rudribhattpatel.bsky.social @karakahnke.bsky.social 💜

Last day of the sale!

new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity. "To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."

Finally managed to lure @writesloud.bsky.social to nyc - come hang!

Okay, and here is the crowdfunding campaign for my next project, which now I guess is going to have to be amazing and foundational and wildly essential and move us all: www.gofundme.com/f/help-nisi-... Help how you can. That's what I'm doing.

Every time @thenation.com publishes the writing of Lujayn, a teen in the Gaza Strip, I hold my breath while reading. If you read one thing today, make it this: "Don’t you dare preach “child protection” to our children while they are bombed and starved in front of the whole world."

Super kind shoutout from the lovely Stephanie! A love letter of a story and one of my all time favorites to do at readings.

Super honored to have worked with the truly lovely @laughingyeti.bsky.social and this great group of readers. So much amazing work out there 😍
