I'm a proud mother. Whether I'm walking my son to school or reading him a bedtime story, I do everything to make sure he grows up loved and cared for.
And for the sponsor of the drag ban to say that my existence is a fetish is false & cruel.
I'm glad we were able to defeat this hateful bill today.

Listen friends - gather your hope where you can. People showed up in all 50 states on a moments notice. Voicemail boxes of senators are filling up. Lawsuits are being filed.
Look at all the good people.
And do not forget to take care of yourselves. Seriously. This is a long haul.

Yes this!!
If you’re looking for a free way to support an author, did you know you can ask your library to stock a book you want to read that they don’t have yet? And usually it’s a very basic online form? Google your library name plus the words “request a title” or “suggest a title” to find yours.

Really important if, like me, you use MS Word to write novels, stories, blog posts or anything you hope to sell. AI scraping shouldn’t be an opt-out, sneakily hidden away in settings to dissuade you from disabling it, but here we are.
