Haha. It’s best books season. And my debut was on so many of them last year that statistically I’ll never be on another list until like book 20. And that’s totally okay.

A teacher asking me point blank what in my book would get her fired.
Me: Ugh, I mean this character is queer & kisses this character. Both characters are cis girls.
The teacher: Oh yeah, that could get me fired. But I have a bunch of queer books in my classroom library. What admin doesn’t know…

This weekend anti-LGBTQIA+ hate speech incidents occurred in a number of buildings on campus.
Tomorrow, I’m having hard conversations with my students about the words they use, the words they listen to their friends use and how a slur has become frequent on campus.
I am furious and sad.

Had a really interesting conversation about people writing novels that are “inspired by” video games or anime that literally stick way too close to the original.
And since I teach adaptations and retellings I have thoughts.
But also where is the line?

What is happening in Gaza is a genocide.
A group that was persecuted and faced horrid violence, and genocide, cannot repeat the actions and claim justified. Being hurt does not offer license to hurt back.
These are fundamental truths in my heart.
