Text on top: I long to sink into the ground and disappear. Below: an angry looking cat. Text below: Brent, under the weight of cats and public opinion.

#DVPARTY Day 4 memes: Two cats. Four amber eyes. They stare at me. My mind immediately floods with images of countless others watching: classmates, random people on the street, Julie. Every time their hateful, disgusted gazes fixed on me, I longed to sink into the ground and disappear.

#DVPARTY day 4 a sweet one: I whirl around, my wet Vans almost sliding on the floor, trying to get as far from that beast as possible—and tumble straight into two strong arms.
I jerk back. A boy my age stands in front of me, his dark brown face framed by cornrows, eyes wide and locked on mine.

🔥🔥🔥.

EVERYTHING GETS CANCELED is about rumors and what it means for a 17yo singer to crash from viral fame to cancellation. Here’s the article that kicks off my story—and the opening lines of Chapter One Fight or Flight!

Waiting until this will be mine 💚.

Introduction of my mc in the form of a Pokémon card: Brent Lansing, HP: 70, picture of a blond boy playing the guitar, age: 17, Type: demi, fat, sassy singer, Status: freshly canceled, Origin: Dutch-American, Attack: Big-mouth, dogs > cats, Weakness: anxiety + trust issues, ability: Anonymois viral track. Effect: Boost Brent’s fame by +200, but doubles gossip damage each turn.

Introduction of my li in the form of a Pokémon card: Jeremiah Simpson, HP: 130, picture of a Black football player, age: 18, Type: cat-loving sunshine, Status: Media’s favorite mystery, Origin: Surinam-Dutch, Attack: Golden left foot, soft spot for Brent Ability: Tabloid Magnetism Effect: Boosts Jeremiah’s charm by +150 and defense by +100, but triggers “Speculation Storm” every third turn.

#DVPARTY day 2! Want to meet Brent? Here’s his (sort-of 😂) Pokémon card—and Jeremiah’s, the football star he bumps into in a cat café… and slowly falls for (because we’ll… demi).

🖤One false rumor. 17yo Brent’s singing career is wrecked…
🤍His escape: Amsterdam—until his bond with a closeted football star sparks gossip
💜As the press closes in, he anonymously drops a track that goes viral
🩶Now he risks outing the boy he loves for a comeback

#preDV #YA #CR #LGBT

One rumor wrecks his career
One boy makes him feel safe
One song could ruin them both

When gossip won’t quit, 17yo Brent drops an anonymous track. But the world connects it to the closeted football star at his side—and redemption might out the boy he’s falling for

🖤🤍💜🩶

#preDV #YA #CR #LGBT

A moodboard with 9 photos: a rainbow over the dunes, a blond teen playing the guitar, a cat café, the demi flag, lyrics from the song Brent wrote, a Black footballer with cornrows, bikes at a canal in Amsterdam, a paper with the words Celebrity News: Gossip on the front page, Dutch ‘oliebollen’ at an icerink (outside).

Let’s kick off #DVPARTY! Meet Brent, my demi, sassy, canceled teen singer hiding in Amsterdam + Jeremiah, a closeted soccer—uh, football—star. Their meetcut? A cat café. Add gossip (think Kit Connor) about a secret romance. Brent is furious. So he drops a song—anonymously. It blows up. Ai… #YA #LGBT

🤩🤩🤩!

🤩🤩🤩!

😍😍😍!

What if the only boy who makes you feel safe is the one you could destroy?

Canceled in the US, demi singer Brent hides in Amsterdam. But one anonymous song going viral could out the closeted football star he’s falling for.

Think: LOVE, SIMON x RADIO SILENCE x IF THIS GETS OUT
#preDV #YA #CR #LGBT

Take a canceled 17yo singer
Add a setting in Amsterdam

+A closeted football star
+A meetcute in a cat café
x Rumors swirling about the two…

The result: an anonymous viral song that could redeem the singer—but out the boy he’s falling for.

Pre-Ordering Books Makes You More of a Citizen of Literature Recently on Bluesky, I was shouting as usual about Lessons in Magic and Disaster, my novel that comes out in about a month. (It's about a young trans woman...

"Pre-ordering is inherently a hopeful, forward-looking action that declares that we will survive, and there will be wonderful books for us to read when we do."

My latest newsletter is about why book pre-orders help to make you more of a citizen of the book world:

Thank you for the information 😊🫂! I will let her know.

Does anyone own a Raskog cart? My friend wants to buy one to move food around from her kitchen to the dining room.

Unpopular opinion: I am not watching season four of Ted Lasso without Jamie.

Happy birthday!

Text reads: Rachel Diebel at Feiwel and Friends has acquired Mars Lauderbaugh's Brighter Stars, a YA graphic novel in which a rule-breaking flight academy cadet discovers the alien alliance they were raised to hate might not be the ones behind the terrorist attacks threatening their home planet—and anyone could be the true enemy, even their closest friend. Publication is planned for spring 2028; Jennifer March Soloway at Andrea Brown Literary Agency did the deal for world rights.

yippee! 🌟

my dudes there's no such thing as "too late" to regulate AI, that's a fake idea. AI models aren't untouchable data gods, they're algorithms hosted in cloud storage. Saying we can't regulate AI is like saying we can't deplatform Child P*rn bc "it's already out there". Like, 1s and 0s can be deleted

Counting down 30 days of PRIDEful comics! These are my personal choices and in NO WAY is this meant to be some complete list or ranking. I also refrained from choosing more than a few Marvel or DC books because they get enough spotlight. Enjoy!
