"sex doesn't belong in YA books" Listen, I learned more about birth control, menstruation, and how to get and give consent to different acts from Tamora Pierce books than I did from my school. There's a huge difference between smut and showing teens what healthy sexuality is.

Five jobs I've had, in no particular order: • Baker & Barista • Baby/Pet/House sitter • Lead Cook • Butler • Voice Actor Liason

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum. We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

I know #NaNoWriMo is dead but is anyone else still participating, regardless? We don't need some corporation bringing us wordnerds together to do what we love! If you are, working on? Best of luck and happy writing!

And not to go all Levar Burton on you hoes but I just spent the whole day reading a book and I’m fairly certain the world would be a better place if more people did that

I will not waste a moment grieving for someone who wanted my loved ones dead, thanks

This feels like a ✨prime✨ week to close the book on Amazon.

Happy Wednesday

Crockett: That’s why they hired everybody from Fox because all they’re trying to do is put on a show.. I want us to refocus our attention on the American people and stop demonizing every person that ends up in ICE custody… *Applause* Van Drew: *bangs gavel*

Is Bluesky being overrun with bots now, also? 😮‍💨

Please rid us of his stupidity .

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening. That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk. Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

Oh hey, NYT, is it men they want barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen? So hard to determine.....

This right here......

Keir wouldn't have this man in the neo-New Labour Party #redtories #newnewlabour #starmerisatory

It’s time me for „We the People“ to start not only rebelling but to begin arresting the kidnappers !! Citizens Arrest is still the law. ICE / Gestapo is out of control.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Look, I'm both a pagan and a historian, so I watch all of this as spectator sport.

When I was a kid my imaginary friend didn't destroy the environment in order to chat with me

the jobs of the future, where you will be a hereditary serf producing goods for your betters

Are we going to deal with our Nazis the way Germany did after WWII or the way the US did after WWII? And if you don't know the difference, you're a part of the problem.

Why do the delusional MAGA-ts and Muskrats genuinely believe that we're being paid to hate despicable people and this dog-sh!t administration? I don't need a check from Soros, Hoffman, or anyone - I'd dropkick the Annoying Orange & that Nepo-baby Nazi for free.

No LGB without the T.

Since the people who hate DEI don’t seem to know what the actual words are, let’s just make calling it IDEA a more common practice and they won’t know the difference (the a is for Access)

Have you seen the T-Mobile Priority ad? Is it not dystopian? Yes, I'm thrilled that actual money is being put into services for the people "in extreme circumstances." But why do we need a corporation funding civil services with the necessary infrastructure? Isn't that someone else's job?

Has anyone else been noticing a larger police & security presence on your #university & #college campuses?

What are some of your favorite elements of #cozyfiction & #cozy media? • warm, homey spaces • sweet bread & rich tea • friendly neighbors & good friends • tedious work that results in actual progress or growth What else?

These pics? I'm not saying anything about them. If they're proud of their work, they should proudly show their pictures!

OK miss me with the bullshit that writers are ONLY on social media to sell books. We're also humans who have pets and gardens and baked goods and pancakes that improbably come out of the pan looking like goats. Where else are we supposed to talk about those things? Just stand outside and yell??

Godspeed and best of luck to all of us about to spend the next few days surrounded solely by conservative & small-minded family. We'll get through this together. 💜

For hundreds (thousands) of years, reading and writing was considered too radical and complex for the masses. Slaves were prohibited from both. Books are regularly banned and burned. Why? Because of their power to inform, educate, change minds, galvanise, organise, overthrow. Let’s go!

My exciting bit is the fact that I have at least one WIP for every fiction genre you can think of. To agents, I am your man if you need any, any kind of story. Especially if it needs to be serialized and easily merchandizable. Bonus: I really don't care about recognition, I just wanna make art!

Fred Rodgers on the importance of making something even if other people don't think it's good had me crying this morning. Passing it along for anyone else that might need it.

I'm glad to be here but I am not calling these skeets. Let's just stick with posts. Simple & classy. #hibluesky
