Feeling powerless and a little lost? Here's something you can do!

Right now, @authorsabb.bsky.social is trying to raise money for @flfreedomread.bsky.social. Fla is a bellwether state when it comes to book bans, so bringing the fight there helps the fight everywhere.

I donated $25. Can you?

After Trump’s ban of gender-affirming care for youth, surgeries for some trans teens were canceled, writes @sarahprager.bsky.social. Advocates accused health care providers & other institutions of “obeying in advance” an executive order that has since been blocked in the courts.

I just got my copies of My Little Golden Book About Pride. I'm so proud of this one despite the world it is coming out into. I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes the most controversial thing I'll ever publish.

I adored visiting Safe Space bookstore in Prague - queer, feminist, vegan, nonprofit! I got to sign 2 copies of Queer, There, and Everywhere and spend hours feeling at home. Seeing family anywhere we go, it’s beautiful.

If you happen to be connected with a school/library/etc. that has funds for author/illustrator visits, and you're looking for a way to directly support banned artists in this current hellscape, have I got an idea for you!

Most of us make a significant portion of our income from these visits [1/4]

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later

Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.

No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."

Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."

It's a big step towards very bad things.

Thread of @erininthemorning.com breaking down the EO banning gender affirming care for youth (and some sections don’t specify youth)
Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.

It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

This could be disastrous holy fuck
SCOTUS announces it will hear whether or not LGBTQ inclusive education is unconstitutional.

Not great for LGBTQ people, and could be disastrous to teaching that we have a history and have existed alongside everyone else for centuries.
