An Open Letter to @ForestofReading:

This is an important time for the Canadian kidlit community to stand up for 2SLGBTQ+ inclusion, and to advocate for schools to continue to create a supportive environment for all their students. Please share widely.

I already sent my own personal letter, but have also signed this open letter to them. I am a Scholastic author.
Authors, if you think Scholastic's "separate but equal" book fair plan is, perhaps, a BAD idea, please consider signing this open letter to them about it:

Happy National Coming Out Day from Olivia, Eden, and me. Wherever you are in your coming out journey, I hope you’re safe and hope you’re finding yourself in the stories around you.

If your Banned Book Week observances are still focusing on Catcher in the Rye or To Kill a Mockingbird instead of the plethora of books by queer and BIPOC authors being actively banned RIGHT NOW, then you may want to ask yourself some questions about what you're actually trying to accomplish.

I guess I’m glad I have answers for my pain, but it doesn’t get rid of the pain I’m in.

And today? That’s A LOT of pain.

It is really hard being a writer these days. The industry is getting tougher all the time. You can REALLY help authors and books you love by talking about them. Word of mouth is real magic, your voice matters, it's never too small. Share your enthusiasm for books you love. And THANK YOU.

One of the best parts of the WGA deal: AI has now hit a brick wall in Hollywood, *and that includes adaptations.*

Based on the deal, AI can't be source material. So if you're a publisher, AI novels or graphic novels or whatever just became that much less appealing because *they can't be optioned.*

I was officially diagnosed today!!! CFS/ME, POTS, fibromyalgia, and a pinched nerve in my spine! (On top of anxiety/depression/PTSD/ADHD which I already knew about).

Anyone have book recs for CFS/POTS/fibromyalgia?

I GOT MY GOOD NEWS
i could really use good news this week

i feel this
(I am feeling pretty angry and upset about the anti-LGBTQ+ hate marches across Canada that happened today, even though they seem to have been outnumbered by counter-demonstrators, and I needed something soft and joyful.)
