This has never occurred to me as a possibility.

It would be so great if the members of the Ohio House Finance Committee got to work tomorrow and found their inboxes full of demands to fund our libraries and not censor librarians. Ohioans, can you help with that??? docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Absolutely historic what Senator Cory Booker is doing today. 4 more hours until he breaks the record set by the racist Strom Thurmond filibustering the Civil Rights Act, which is SO PERFECT. He’s standing up for the American people against that same poison that put profits over people.

Disagreeing with the political stance of the government is not grounds for revoking residency in a democracy. This college student is in hiding right now, running from an authoritarian government bc she used her right to speak up in 2025 USA. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/n...

They vote TOMORROW, 2/25, please call now and tell your reps not to cut Medicaid and other safety nets. Remind them that their constituents are not the billionaires pushing these cuts, but the communities who need them! 5calls.org/issue/budget...

“But others…” Seriously? What a ridiculous bothsiderism report.

This is the way!

My kid got into Vassar @vassar.bsky.social! She’ll be a Brewer this Fall! So so proud!

Amnesty International on Thursday became the first major international human rights organization to accuse Israel of carrying out genocide in Gaza, drawing a rebuke from Israeli officials who denied the claim.

I love this book. I’ve never been more enamored with NYC maps! Who knew there was an old growth forest at the northern tip of Manhattan???

Happy publishing day to my incredible partner, @elisastoneleahy.com! You can find her latest book, ‘Mallory in Full Color’, at our local Columbus bookstore linked below or wherever you like to get your books!

A kid and their mom wandered into my book launch tonight. They were getting their hair cut next door, saw the crowd and said “this looks like my people.” They heard about my super queer book. They bought a copy and brought it to me to sign. We talked about identity, labels, hope and community 🥹🌈💙📚

Caught my 17 yro daughter reading this last night. Pretty sure that this 43 yro “adult” needs to read it as well.

My very queer book about a social chameleon, her people-pleasing web of lies, her new enby crush, some quirky comic club library nerds, their drag queen storytime, her chaotic twin brothers and her secret sci-fi webcomic about a cyborg revolutionary comes out in 4 days! 💙📚 Please show Mal some 💕🦾🌈

Hi! I’m a Peruvian American queer author with a new book coming out on 11/19 with QuillTree,HarperCollins! “A tween girl who works to please others searches for her true identity when her anonymous webcomic goes viral in this spirited middle-grade story about the multitudinous splendor of the self.”
