Idaho, and proud to be a plaintiff with you 👍🏻

Your lovely book is banned in the school district where I work. It’s absolutely bonkers to me as there is no explicit content. It just got swept up in an “administrative review” because it was on a list of books (probably Book Looks) and the review team don’t bother reading the books.

Not really surprised but that does at least confirm my suspicions about the place.

I finished your book moments ago. It was incredibly cathartic for me. Thank you for helping me feel seen/understood/less alone - all the things.

It’s so awful. What are they thinking? And are they going to cover up the artwork on the back of the building? It’s my absolute favorite downtown mural.

I feel so awful for everyone at ICFL.

Do you have a library card?

Do you?

Do
You

Do it

Apologies if I missed it, but where did you explain your reasoning?

WTF? Monica, your constituents need to hear from you on this.

Anyone shedding a tear?

Here’s the thing about passive aggressive emails sent to the entire faculty and staff:

1. They cause people doing the right thing to ask themselves what they did wrong.

2. The people they’re intended for don’t read them.

I did not watch the address to the joint session of Congress—why voluntarily subject myself to hours of lies and nonsense? Instead, I listened to The Cure’s Songs of a Lost World.

One was full of doom, despair, and existential dread… the other was a great album.

Thank you for sharing that, it warmed my cynical, sad heart.

The #March4Liberty crowd yelling "VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT!" heard from INSIDE the #Idaho Statehouse on the 4th floor. #Resist #NoKings

"Why don't you wear a suit?"

WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

You can still use your Kindle with library books via Libby!

Today is a really good day to do something. Read the Constitution. Have a talk with a stranger about DOGE. Volunteer at a food bank. Be kind to people. Whatever you do, don’t just throw your hands up in the air & assume Trump gets away with it all. We are still a rule of law country. Insist on it.

GAH, we need a Boise show between PDX and Salt Lake. Why so greedy, Portland?

This is so disturbing.

WYOMING:
“Thank you, Madam chairman.”
“I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.”
“Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

I couldn’t be more proud to be a plaintiff in this suit, along with @malindalo.bsky.social, David Levithan, a coalition of publishers including @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social, and Idaho librarians, parents, and students, as we fight against Idaho's book banning law, HB 710.

My anxiety is thru the roof, I hope 9 cups of coffee & 14 hours on social media helps

A while back I asked folks why they’re joining Bluesky and the most common response I saw was, “I just want a good place to get my news” and, yall, no. Bad.

I’d love to say I’m not shopping at Target because they are rolling back DEI initiatives. The truth is I’ve already pretty much stopped because they haven’t had much I wanted to buy since Covid. The days of going in for one thing and coming out with a full cart were already long gone.

we never should’ve given power to the nerds. the jocks shouldn’t have it either. we must usher in the age of the goths

Letter from my child to DanTDM that I never mailed

First Bluesky post to admit a horrible secret from my past. My nearly 17 year old just found the letter they wrote to DanTDM that I promised to mail almost a decade ago, but forgot and then hid. At least Dan is now off the hook for not writing back.

Yes, this please!
