And ppsssttt... if you're an author and you love AABB but can't afford to donate, maybe go nudge your editors, agents, publicists, publishers to see if they're following along with @pubprosabb.bsky.social - when we work together, we change worlds.

Delighted to hear extensive discussion of @authorsabb on @lithub.com this week. I've been part of this group almost since the start and am highly impressed at the progress made in fighting for the First Amendment. (My own contributions are mostly running my mouth on panels; booking for 2026! 😀)

Just donated. There are countless people and places to donate to this #GivingTuesday, but yeah. Throwing my hat in for this one.
(AABB has been doing tremendous work tackling book bans already, and just recently been able to gain status as a nonprofit, thus can finally receive donations.) ❤️

Malinda has been doing so much incredible work for the cause both behind the scenes & being a public figure for the right to read. Would love to see, I don't know, 10 donations to AABB in her name today. Be a great way to thank her for her work.
