authorsabb.bsky.social Authors Against Book Bans @authorsabb.bsky.social · Jun 27
Our statement in response to the Supreme Court ruling in Mahmoud v Taylor. Image thread with alt text. 1/4
Today's Supreme Court decision, though couched in the language of freedom and inclusivity, is a tragic failure for both the right to read and the rights of LGBTQIA+ people. Authors Against Book Bans stands firmly and fiercely against the decision and its rationale. To allow parents to "object" to the presence of positive books about the lives and rights of LGBTQIA+ people is to allow them to "object" to the existence of LGBTQIA+ students, parents, educators, and others in the wider community. You cannot “opt out” of reality, no matter what today’s majority opinion states. These books belong on shelves and these stories belong in classrooms and curricula.

2/ I'll pick a winner (via random number picker, going through those who share) end of this weekend. Hopefully a 3rd-party developer will eventually come up with a better method (verifiable, fair) of doing giveaways on Bluesky. 🤞🏼

POLL for authors and illustrators: What is the strangest thing you've ever had to research for YOUR writing or art?
#CommunityPolls #DebbieOhiComic
Comic featuring two figures at a kitchen table. One is writing on a laptop and the other is reading a book at breakfast. Person 1 says, "So what would YOU find more painful: having your brain eaten by zombies or being ravaged by rabid mutant squirrels?" In the next panel, she says, "Oh nevermind. I got it." After a beat, the other person says, "Writers are weird sometimes."
