Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

I just read MAEVE MULVANEY HAS HAD ENOUGH by @kellyamangan.bsky.social and it's a strong recommend. All the characters are nuanced and well observed, but I want to particularly single out the MC's relationship with her parents. It's very hard to get a realistic parent-child relationship in MG...

so proud of Kelly for this extremely hard-earned and well-deserved starred review. this book is fierce as anything and i can’t wait for you all to read it.
Thank so much to my amazing editor, @alexace.bsky.social , who honestly deserves her own superhero cape.

I’m staying with family in Mexico through the end of the year and hoping to get some much-needed rest. It’s so nice to be able to think of my beautiful country as a refuge, and I grieve all the years I wasted as a teenager feeling ashamed of where I’m from

i mostly don’t miss that bird app, but i’ll concede it was a nice place to receive confirmation via the collective outcry of frustrated fellow captives of the gates empire that outlook really is sh!t and broken and it’s not just me

the last time I was on here I was still an associate editor! hello again. I am joining the post-election 🐦 exodus and will try to be more active on here with news about my books and the HH en español program.

Two incredible books have book birthdays today of all days. They are both very timely, reminding us that science is important and silence in the face of fascism/Nazis is complicity. Vote today! @andreabrownlit.bsky.social @timmccanna.bsky.social @ellaschwartz.bsky.social

I’m at #neibafallconference today! Come say hi at booth #81 and ask your burning questions about our Spanish publishing program 👋🏽

are we cross-posting everything? is that the move? well, it’s exhausting & I’m no social media marketing pro AND I’m still down with covid, so here’s the 💙☁️ version: blah blah, I was on a podcast discussing a picture book abt the Spanish language that I helped edit, it came out great, check it out
