Let’s go! Did you fill up your gas tank. Buy any food or medication you might need?
I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Sat at my desk today and wrote an email response to a grad student who’s been doing critical work on our team today. They’re feeling grief and despair about the future of the field, dwindling job prospects, and finding ways to care for themselves. They’re not wrong to feel this way. 🧵

Cool!
Would you look at these people?! We're running an online "one-weekend MFA" for writing MG and YA novels, 6/14-15, with four lectures, an opportunity for individual feedback if you register early, and happy hour conversations at the end of each day.

This part is important. We need courage.
Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

There are two people in Congress-the chairs of the Senate & House Appropriations Committees-who have enormous power over the illegal impoundment of funds appropriated by Congress, which is sowing chaos across the US. They need to be relentlessly contacted at their offices, in person and by phone. 1/

Just your daily example of how DIVERSITY is a strength. This study looked at patient outcomes for 710,000 hospital operations and found: “Care in hospitals with greater anaesthesia–surgery team sex diversity was associated with better postoperative outcomes.”

🎤🎶Hello conference season my old friend, I’m behind on submissions again, maybe an extension will be softly creeping, organizers changing their minds while I am sleeping? But there’s a vision of a poster in my brain, do any typos remain? Echoing in the sounds of deadlines. 🎶🎤

No thank you Scholastic. When I ran the children’s section at an independent bookstore we hosted book fairs with schools and almost every selection would have been in the segregated section. PTOs & schools bypass Scholastic, reach out to your local indie bookstore, and host your own book fair.
"Scholastic said it was necessary to segregate these titles because 'there is now enacted or pending legislation in more than 30 U.S. states prohibiting certain kinds of books from being in schools'.... What laws...? Scholastic declined to answer the question."
