this volunteer work puts me in proximity to some real nastiness when the time comes, we are not gonna listen to ANY bullshit about how Mr. ICE Agent is a good man with a family and we're not being fair to him and he doesn't deserve to be scorned/exiled/imprisoned/executed. yes he fucking does

SOON BY YOU releases tomorrow, and if you're still not convinced to pick it up, maybe check out an excerpt from Chapter 2 (first glimpse of Judah's POV) now available on The Nerd Daily! thenerddaily.com/soon-by-you-...

It's been really lovely seeing so much different work of mine highlighted during Jewish American Heritage Month. I started writing as a kid because it was a way to live a "second life," a way to experience the things I knew I wouldn't and be like the people in books. But it was built on the feeling

Another point to show that most people do not want book bans. The outrage (as usual) is manufactured.

I've been watching older shows from the beginning and it's always weird to talk about them on the internet because other people know if they go terribly awry but I do not! Anyway, finally finished Shameless and now on to The Sex Lives of College Girls. Tell me nothing.

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.

"Is it very important to you that I need a big, strong man to help me deal with woodland critters?" #WIPSnips #SummerCampRomance

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”?
