Ask the Agent Q of the Day: What's the scoop with authors saying their publisher's didn't file for copyright for their books? What does that mean? Here's (just about) everything I know about it, in one place: www.tumblr.com/literaticat/...

@dontate.bsky.social is branching out into board books! @andreabrownlit.bsky.social

I am heartbroken and furious over the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Kids should be learning, laughing, making friends — not running for their lives on the very first week of school. How many more children will live this nightmare before our elected leaders do something?

Happy Book Birthday to Riley Redgate's COME HOME TO MY HEART, a stunning YA novel that Kirkus called "[a] palpably genuine and romantic queer coming-of-age story" in a starred review.

Lot of amazing authors here including @annclezotte.bsky.social in a new anthology featuring disabled characters and their adventures!

In honor of National Poetry Month, Tom Angleberger reflects on his new book, ‘Dino Poet: A Graphic Novel,’ which kicks off a series about a T. rex who fancies himself as something of a T.S. Eliot

Trump said he wanted to take away due process for immigrants–something conservative judges think is unconstitutional—and he did. He says he wants to ship American citizens to foreign countries, believe him and do not wait to speak out against his abhorrent actions.

"Attempting to murder an American Jew over the actions of completely different Jews thousands of miles away in the Middle East is textbook anti-Semitism," @Yair_Rosenberg writes. But in the case of Josh Shapiro, it’s particularly perverse: link.theatlantic.com/click/394887...

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

What RFK has done just this week to NOT support vaccines: -fired FDA's top vaccine scientist -buried CDC's measles forecast -shut down agency that runs the NATIONAL VACCINE PROGRAM (OIDP) -Hired anti-vaxxer to probe phony autism/vax links -Made Texas kids sick with his vitamin A measles 'cure'
