California ā this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50. Californiaās Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, weāre going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections. Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption āthis⦠is⦠not⦠peaceful.ā What he didnāt mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

We see what theyāre doing. Theyāre baiting us, trying to provoke violence to justify a crackdown. Donāt give them the footage they want. Every broken window becomes propaganda in their hands. Stay sharp. Stay united. Weāre here to fight for justice, not feed their narrative.

KidLit publishing and publishing in general feels so hard right now. I know there are days when the urge to throw in the towel is strong. Please don't. Your work matters. There is someone out there who will be changed by your book. Take that small step today. You have no idea how close you are.

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.
