My mom was hospitalized this weekend for a large kidney stone and a kidney/bladder infection that has spread to her blood stream. We could use some help because this is going to absolutely wipe out her savings.

Tablet with cover of A Fake Girlfriend for Chinese New Year (illustrated cover with food and red lanterns).

He needs a fake girlfriend to avoid his family’s holiday matchmaking. This pretend romance won’t change their friendship...right?

Read Zach & Jo's story, A Fake Girlfriend for Chinese New Year, in ebook, paperback, or audio!

Hi folks! Some of our friends in the Twin Cities have come back with another request! It's a heartbreaking one but the need is real, so if anyone can help get them more masks & filters for those on the streets to deal with being gassed constantly, that would be amazing!

WHAT TO SAY TO KIDS ABOUT ICE
Even if a child isn't directly affected, they may hear about ICE at school or online. Avoiding the topic can cause more fear. Calm, honest conversations help children feel safe and supported.
START THE CONVERSATION
Begin by asking: "What do you know about ICE?" This gives you insight into what they've heard or seen. If they say "I don't know," you can gently explain:
"ICE is a government group that checks if people are following immigration laws. Some families are scared of them because they help decide who can stay in the U.S. Have you heard about people moving to new countries?"
AGES 3-6
"Some families are being treated unfairly because of where they were born. You're safe, and I'm here with you."
β€’ Keep it simple and comforting
β€’ Provide extra hugs, reassurance, and routines.
AGES 7-11
"Some families are being separated because of how they came to the U.S. Even kids are getting hurt, and that's not okay."
β€’ Be honest without overwhelming
WHAT NOT TO SAY
β€’ "Don't worry about it." Dismisses their feelings
β€’ "That won't happen to us." Creates false
reassurance
AGES 12-18
"It's not right for people to be treated unfairly because of where they're from. This hurts kids and families."
β€’ Acknowledge their awareness
β€’ Encourage healthy ways to process: writing, talking, art, advocacy.
EMOTIONAL SUPPORT FOR ALL AGES
"It's okay to feel scared or frustrated. What matters is we talk about it and help each other feel better."
β€’ Encourage breathing, drawing, or journaling
WHAT TO SAY INSTEAD
"You're not alone in this. People are trying to help, and I'm one of them. If you ever feel scared, we can talk about it together."
Plan for emergencies. Use our Family Preparedness Toolkit: childnet.org/immigration-resources

Developmentally appropriate ways to talk about ICE with your children:

I’m so ridiculously excited for this cover, this book, these characters, and this whole series. You don’t even know.

Okay, fuck @zoeyorkwrites.bsky.social for making me cry at least a dozen times over the last two days. HOW VERY DARE!

The Ex-mas Breakup was so fucking good but it also wrecked me.
