Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.
![Hi, my name is [NAME], I'm a constituent in [ZIP CODE]. I'm calling because I saw that [TERRIBLE THING] is happening. I think this is appalling. [PERSONAL STORY, if you have one.] I want you to do everything you can to stop this. I will remember your actions when I cast my next vote. Thank you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hwmmdl5nok26w3zhmg2d3fvt/bafkreigihtf5o2suhsnecpwijziyhsmxflvzzogbjre2okvstqagg6bw6y@jpeg)

Censor CDC scientists and ask them to withdraw papers from medical journals?

Hey with all of this “buy Canadian” as a response to the tariffs, can we also remember to READ CANADIAN.
Canadian publishers will struggle to distribute books to the US, and Canadian authors struggle to get published there. American authors have a much easier time to be published here. Soooo….

Giving away I'M WORRIED & I'M SAD for #IReadCanadianDay to someone in Canada or the U.S. who is feeling this way right now. To enter, reply with the title of a 🇨🇦 Canadian #KidLit book (pls tag author/illus if they're on Bluesky) that isn't mine. I'll use random number picker to select winner on Sat.
Woke up this morning to check @nytimes.com headlines for election results.
Sigh. 😢
It's #IReadCanadianDay & I'm Canadian. I'll post more about #CanKidLit later today but right now, these two #KidLit books I helped create w/ @michaelianblack.bsky.social summarize some of what I'm feeling right now.
