"Life doesn't care what we want out of it; it's up to us to fight for what we want with everything we've got."
My coworker and I got to create and set up an escape room for our public library book club based on SO THIS IS EVER AFTER by @ftlukens and we got a little extra. A 5* read for our teens!
Small PSA that you can suggest books to your local library! If there are books you want to read but can't/don't want to buy right now, and the library doesn't already have them, there's almost always a suggestion page where you can suggest books for the library to buy
As we hurtle into #BannedBooksWeek I want to say this: The book banning occurring across the USA is not about the books. It's about institutionalizing discrimination against LGBTQ+ and BIPOC people, institutionalizing misogyny through policing sexuality.
For my Holocaust Film class day one I asked students to come in with a list of Holocaust-related movies and TV shows they've seen and why (assignment/personal choice). High school teachers, I am straight up begging you to stop assigning "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas."
I keep thinking about how books and libraries saved me as a kid. I also keep thinking about how the kinds of kids who are saved by books and libraries are exactly the people book banners don't want to save.
Y'ALL THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!
Y'ALL THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!
our monthly mini escape room for our teen book club! By teen request, the title was SCYTHE by @NealShusterman and honestly this one was so simple but possibly the most fun to make
I love all my fans. All of them. Everyone is welcome in Tortall and Emelan, especially those who feel unwelcome anywhere else. I'm forever grateful to have met so many brave, wonderful, and interesting people through my books. Each one of you inspires me.

A tale of white librarianship (and why I said that for some marginalized kids facing bans, there will be no advocates to be found in their library)
I put out some bookmarks for teens to put in their favorite books, and I just found one in JACK OF HEARTS by @LevACRosen - a book that has been banned and challenged. Just in case anyone was wondering if these books actually resonate with teens.

Starting a new political party for people who don't give a shit either about how John Fetterman dresses or what Lauren Boebert does in a theater.
OMG, I did it. I finished the MG sequel. It tried to kill me, it's late, and it's a mess, but it's done. Hats off to all y'all who write series all the time.
Let’s all remember that if @JNJGlobalHealth @JNJNews does the right thing, we celebrate that and them with absolutely raucous enthusiasm. Takes guts to actually choose #PatientsNotPatents.

I saw the convo about the need for shorter, lighter YA and I think that’s so valid and it’s got me thinking about writing some lighter horror for the spooky kids that aren’t ready for…well, the honeys lol
If the hate group #Moms4Liberty actually cared about protecting children, they’d be going after social media companies, the NRA, priests, and republicans. Instead, they’re going after books, just like the nazis they like quoting in their newsletters.
You are loved. Something else I've found myself saying again is family. You are family. I'm an elder now and I remember that term when I was first coming out and trying to find my space in the community. I think we need to bring that back: that we're all family...
Are the furtive, almost feral youths who dart up, sneak a rainbow, bi, or trans sticker into their pocket and dart away. Oh I know that look, kid. I wore that look for so long. It really does get better, I wish I had some way to tell you all that in ten seconds and you matter...
There aren't two sides to this issue. Either you're pro-making sure kids have enough to eat or you're an asshole. Period.
@laurenboebert Fuck right off you ignorant ghoul.
Take Pride Month with you into the rest of the year with these delightful pins! Our favorite is the flag, but you can’t go wrong by making your pronouns known, either.
Welp, Pride is officially over. Time for some Wrath.

I first had the idea for The School For Invisible Boys back in 2008. Since then, nearly everything about it has changed except for the title. Today I'm thrilled to share the gorgeous cover for my debut MG, designed by Carol Ly, with art by Julian Callos. penguinrandomhouse.com/books/718527/t…
I've fully embraced "queer" as an identifier for LGBTQIA+ identities since the late 90s when I first came out, but I have an aversion to "queers" used to identify us as a group like in this headline. Is it just me?
