I don’t check bluesky that often so I’m feeling really blessed that I popped in the same day that someone respectfully asked Courtney Milan if she was a lawyer

i keep seeing authors who are all-in on KU complaining that boycotting amazon means it will mostly hurt small creators

and i'm like. idk. obviously aligning onesself exclusively with Amazon puts one in a position to defend Amazon's dominance, and that's not ACTUALLY good for small creators.

I just finished another (the ABC murders) that has maybe already taken the title? Dumb setup, boring story, and THEN at the end Poirot tells a murder victim’s sister that it’s fine to date the victim’s boyfriend now because the dead girl was a floozy anyway

WHAT CAN AUTHORS AGAINST BOOK BANS OFFER YOU? - Regional groups working on legislation to protect authors & the freedom to read state-by-state - Online trainings on digital security, public speaking, & how to counter book challenges in your community -Affinity groups for BIPOC authors, queer authors, authors with disabilities, indie, nonfiction, romance writers & more -Support if your book is challenged or your school visit is canceled! -A very active discord community Author: What if my book hasn’t been challenged?

An Open Letter to Our Publishers- instagram.com/p/DCzYmKcR8uq Maia: I’ve been facing intense challenges to my book since 2021. Knowing that I am not alone in the fight against censorship is what keeps my spirits up! Watching the folks in AABB share information, co-write legislation, show up to library & school board meetings, & speak up to publishers about the need to protect diverse books & minority authors has been amazing! This is a weird & scary time to be an author, but you are not alone! Join thousands of us fighting for the freedom to read, the freedom to write, the freedom to teach, the freedom to learn, & the freedom to share our stories!

President Trump's DOE has made themselves clear: they will support book banners in their efforts to strip our institutions of learning of the books that define them.

So let us be perfectly clear: we're going to do whatever we can to try and stop them.
Today the DOE announced plans to dismiss 11 outstanding complaints against book bans, and to eliminate the position of Book Ban Coordinator at the Office of Civil Rights (OCR). This distortion of the intended work of the OCR--the protection of civil rights and students' freedoms in our nation's schools--is negligent, grossly un-American, and in direct conflict with freedom of speech, a bedrock right enshrined in the Constitution. Authors Against Book Bans unequivocally stands against all such attempts at censorship and discrimination. We stand with families, students and educators across the country who exercise free speech every time they open a book, and with the 71% of Americans who are opposed to book bans. Book bans do not protect children; history teaches us that they are a terrifying step toward tyranny.

When the spicy scenes give 😈🥵, but the romance and banter gives 🥰🤭. I love unexpected 5/5🌶️ spice in an otherwise adorable book with hilarious and lovable characters. #TheThreeNightStand by #RoxieNoir is the perfect combo for this. Love this one!

So here's what's cool about my job:

Yesterday morning I said, "We really ought to have TWIN PEAKS available." So then a bunch of people scrambled, worked really hard, and now you can watch every episode of David Lynch & Mark Frost's original series for free on Pluto TV: pluto.tv/us/on-demand...

In two days we’ve gotten two false evacuation alerts about the LA fires and my kid also asked me what reality was, so I’m physically safe but mentally a houseplant.

Bananas. I can’t even do banana bread or a smoothie that is 1% banana. It’s just so banana-y

What’s a food that you are absolutely in the minority about disliking. I think my worst one is probably summer rolls. Oh and olives. Unless they’re blue cheese stuffed and in a dirty martini.
