Time to call your reps! No matter where you are, no matter who your rep is they need to hear from you.

Script is available at @5calls.org.

I grew up in a world where I never saw people like me in the media. Probably why it took nearly 40 years for me to figure out who I am. Under this bill, books like mine would be banned from schools nationwide. Act NOW. Representation saves lives. #transkidsareourkids #fbookbans

H.R. 7661 would harm so many publishers, authors, and readers. Only the smallest sliver of human experience would make it onto shelves. If you think kids deserve the world, you are against this bill - please read this article and call your reps.

I’m with you. It’s so hard. May your spoons be plentiful and sharp very very sharp- we both know we need blades to deal with the medical system.

Sound the alarm. Final year. Send in those apps folx.

THIS SOUNDS EPIC! Yes, your book warrants all caps. Congrats. Can’t wait to read.

Flagging this much needed resource. Happy book birthday @valeriebolling.bsky.social

Happy book birthday!

thanks for the reminder to go watch Sort of!

Huge shout-out to my illustrator. Alex Aldrich Barrett you are one talented wizard.

Got to see the latest draft of illustrations for Belly Growls- my upcoming PB book about food insecurity and OMG, literal chills. Ya’ll my heart is so big right now.

Amazing! Congrats.

ACK! Congratulations. So exciting. Lucky her :).

NOOOOOOOOOOO. There will be no hand laying up in this place. Ugh. I need to find some snarky responses to end those conversations quick fast.

A gentle, not-so-gentle PSA in honor of disability pride month. Please stop asking disabled people using mobility aids, "What happened?" You wouldn't ask me "why are you Black," so don't ask me to explain why I am disabled.

Living the dream. Congrats!!!

Greetings from an exhausted author spoonie recovering from ALA. I'm a nonbinary spoonie who writes picture books. I'm all about Earth care and being outdoors. #spoonieauthchat #disabilitypride

It's the last day of Pride, and it seems fitting that I get to celebrate my Stonewall Honor today! Will share more ALA highlights soon, but for now, gifting you this beautiful handmade card created by my dear soul sibling @awildword.bsky.social. #queersky #pride #chosenfamily

Feeling all the feels. Queer kidlit saves lives 💗.

Thanks for recognizing my book baby!

Congratulations, friend! So excited for you.

Happy Freedom day. I recognize that saying these words feels ironic given the times we live in. But today is a reminder that our ancestors sacrificed everything for our liberation. May we use this day to nourish our souls as we continue to fight for our freedom. #blackjoy #blacksky #AddtoBlackSky
