I belonged in the 90's when I was in college! I lo e.Chambana!

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Diana Wynne Jones is an incredible writer. That is all

So sorry you are going throygh this! I hope this new move is to a state where you will be safe and happy!

This is why people are so upset when people say Democrats need to stop focusing on trans issues because it's too woke and people aren't ready for it: we're not talking minor inconvenience here. We're not talking microaggressions

We're talking: they are stripping IDs from trans people

The print sub has been so worth it. A literal joy when I open the envelope each month

Have a safe and fun trip tomorrow!

Now!

Good kitty!

Yes!

Fair. I love being a children's librarian and can't imagine doing anything else!

Why not apply? If you are offered the job, you can always say no.

Did you read something amazing this year? Was there a groundbreaking novel, a meaningful short story, or unforgettable fan work? Nominate your favorites for the Hugo Awards and help celebrate the best in science fiction and fantasy.

Nominations are open!

Appreciate the talk about banning ICE masks in shutdown negotiations.

But the non-negotiable should be congressional oversight of ICE detention facilities. Full access, no appointments, no permission slips.

No compromise.

Thank you!

The image features a gradient background transitioning from pink to blue. Text reads "Introducing the Trans Bill of Rights" with an icon of a paper and pen.

A colorful infographic titled "What is the Trans Bill of Rights?" outlines four points with icons: protections from employment and housing discrimination, equal access to medical treatment without discrimination, legal recognition of gender identity, and the right to use restrooms aligning with a person's gender identity.

ICYMI: I introduced my Trans Bill of Rights with @markey.senate.gov — legislation to defend trans people across this country as Republicans continue to push anti-trans rhetoric and bills.

To our beloved trans community: We see you, we love you, and we will always stand with you.

Support every trans, non-binary or questioning person you know. Speak out for those you don’t. Vote for politicians who want to expand humanity, not shrink it. And for god’s sake, stop buying Harry Potter or the works of those who want to ruin the lives of our loved ones out of their own ignorance.

Another thing that the demise of MMPB has resulted in is the death of the midlist. Publishers used MMPB to break new authors, because readers would be more willing to take a chance on them if they only had to pay $4-5. With everything now only HC or trade, fewer titles are being released overall.

I am so sorry. I hope you find the answer soon!

Sorry, my phone glitched, but I also feel your post.

Thank you for sharing.
