Hi everyone! I'm Lillie, author of ONE FOR ALL, a gender-bent reimagining of The Three Musketeers with a main character with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. It's full of found family, dueling in ballgowns, and inspired by my experience as a fencer with POTS.
...
And I'm here now I guess??
A white woman with brown eyes, wearing a purple sweater, facing the camera. She has long curly brown hair and her cheek rests on her left hand. An illustrated cover: a girl with brown eyes and brown hair in an updo, in a red pink dress, is surrounded by swords and backed into the corner of an alley. She confidently holds her own sword, which has leaf filigree detail. To her left, the reader’s right, there is an archway leading into darkness. On her upper left is a window. On her bottom left is the shadow of a sword pointing at her back. Above her, the shadow of a figure in a hat holding a knife looms above her. ONE FOR ALL is centered and is in a sharp silver font that mimics the swords (some of which intersect the title.) LILLIE LAINOFF is in a small gold font underneath. At the top of the cover, there is a blurb “There are no limits to the will—and the strength—of this unique female hero.” —Tamora Pierce, writer of the Song of the Lioness series and the Protector of the Small quartet A girl with wavy brown hair facing forward, head hunched over a sword with leaf detail. Her gloved hand holds the blade. She is wearing a white top with brown details. Sparks surround the blade and her head. ONE FOR ALL (top third of the cover, centered) is in a sharp silver font, so is LILLIE LAINOFF at the bottom of the cover (centered). The image is framed with gold foil filigree. Centered above the title is a blurb: “THERE ARE NO LIMITS TO THE WILL—AND THE STRENGTH—OF THIS UNIQUE FEMALE HERO.” Tamora Pierce, writer of the Song of the Lioness series

SO MANY but some authors who inspire me to write more about chronic pain recently are @nataliasylv.bsky.social, @chatgreenfield.bsky.social, @marissaeller.bsky.social, and Sam Irby.

There are also a bunch in These Bodies Ain't Broken, including @lillielainoff.bsky.social & @kaylaancrum.bsky.social.

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.

This might be a long shot, but does anyone have recs for nonfiction about the history of high school debate in the United States? Specifically in the late 1940s and early/mid 1950s?
Ideally focused on the Midwest and public school programs, but I'd also be happy with a few chapters of a larger book!
