I don't know if 23 attempts to get COOL FOR THE SUMMER banned is more or less than I imagined, but it's a heavily targeted book, ironically far more so than my even gayer book dealing with misogyny, homophobia, religious hypocrisy, and teen pregnancy. Which I think is just timing, but.

The ALA Office of Intellectual Freedom released a Censorship Search Portal with more than 30 years of data on book bans. I have tracked the banning of my own books–all have been there–but this is higher than my count, even! Here's the database: www.ala.org/bbooks/censo...

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

Now officially a full time author, though not by choice, and I feel like I need to reframe so much about what writing time looks like now. How long does it take to shake that feeling of “Must get it done in this very compressed window of the morning or that book is never happening”?

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

If someone tries to tell you that what’s happening now is only about capturing undocumented people, just, no. Among many things that are happening, they are stealing our children, shipping them across the country, and imprisoning them. Liam is FIVE.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

This act of arson was devastating - two torahs were destroyed and the entire library. Beth Israel is the ONLY synagogue in Jackson. The synagogue was bombed by the KKK in the 1960s because of its work with the civil rights movement and its fight against racism and segregation.

Good (but depressing) article on the impact US book bans are having on publishing and marketing of LGBTQ stories, particularly in kidlit. Thanks to @adibkhorram.bsky.social @beccapodos.bsky.social @missdahlelama.dahliaadler.com and others speaking up about this! thehill.com/homenews/lgb...

Mississippi’s largest synagogue was set on fire before dawn Saturday. Fire department ruled it arson, and a suspect has been arrested. It is the same synagogue that the Ku Klux Klan bombed in 1967 because the rabbi supported civil rights. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/f...

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career
