This week my 7 yo will have his first lock down drill in a US elementary school. He has never heard of attacks on schools of any kind until now. How would one best talk about this beforehand, to prepare?

Books designed to be read only by human eyes are different from books designed to be read by machines, which is why Google will tell you that the phrase âshake my bootyâ can be found in an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote.

Iâm kind of wary of telling women (and nonbinary people) to do more stuff because I am also a woman and I understand being existentially tired, but: if you are going back and forth on whether to reach out to a publisher, you should go ahead and do it. Judging from the numbers, the dudes are!
