In 2024, I'm starting up a kidlit-focused AMA (Ask Me Anything) events on Bluesky - similar to Reddit's AMAs. I've already approached a kidlit creator who is actively engaging with the community here on Bluesky. They've said yes, HURRAY!

If you're interested in being approached, pls keep reading 👇🏼

Weirdly, *every time* they do a “just give people enough resources to live” experiment it works to reduce misery and save governments money but they gotta keep studying it forever I guess.
They had similar results in 2014 with the 100,000 Homes Project, too: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100%2C0...
Preliminary results from the Denver Basic Income Project that's providing cash to hundreds of unhoused people for one year using the first 6 months of data:

• NO ONE receiving $1,000/mo still sleeping outside
• Full-time employment increased
• Fewer visits to the ER
• Fewer nights spent in jail

Hello, apparently it's #BannedBooksWeek and I wanted to say something about it.
My ace book has become one of MANY to be banned in libraries. It doesn't affect me much personally or financially, but its scary/worrying because I've been watching this ripple effect over the years-

Publishing is hard and not very transparent. Today in my newsletter I’m talking about my five year fallow period & how even though I wanted quit, my love of writing, and a great support system, kept me going.
