Let's talk about the freedom to read in Utah, and everywhere!

Feeling tired and discouraged and sad tonight. Going to go to bed early and try again tomorrow.

A small unelected, secretive crew now has free access to sensitive private data of everyone.

And Musk is already publicly targeting family members of judges who rule against the administration.

If this isn’t ringing alarm bells, I don’t know what would.

RFK HAS MADE IT THROUGH COMMITTEE. CALL YOUR SENATORS: YOU: Hi, my name is [name], and I’m calling from [zip code]. YOU: I’m calling on [SENATOR] to vote against RFK Jr.’s nomination to HHS when it comes to the floor. His stance on vaccines and non-medical science is dangerous, and will absolutely cause medical harm. YOU: Is [SENATOR] really okay with someone this inexperienced running such a sensitive position? What will [SENATOR] do, when we have outbreaks all across the country and the next pandemic? All of this comes at a cost. YOU: I am calling on [ SENATOR] to reject his nomination when the vote comes tot he floor. YOU: [ADD MORE/PERSONALIZE/CLARIFY IF YOU WANT A RESPONSE]

I'm about to drop some random scripts and carousels tonight. It's not going to be as orderly as I normally am; there's just a LOT going on.

But follow this thread. Script 1: RFK has made it through committee. CALL. YOUR. SENATORS.

We have to do everything in our power to defeat him.

This is how I feel when I call Mike Lee's office

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

the crux of feldman's argument is this and it reads like a brief for why we should trust the wallet inspector

Okay, I want to say it again for anyone who needs to hear it right now:

Yes, calling is better for getting in touch with your reps. But right now? DO IT HOWEVER YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE.

I'm really concerned that the emphasis on calling right now is stopping people from getting in touch.

Today we really need dozens of members of Congress to physically enter buildings that have been commandeered by DOGE interns and refuse to leave until things are fixed, whatever that might mean. I can't think of another option.

Today is not a great day for biz as usual. Please take a moment to call your senators and demand they stop the illegal takeover of treasury functions (budgets and payments are approved by congress, not subject to unilateral decisions by presidents or their reps): www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

Went to a fantastic book launch for two kind and generous PB writers: @micahplayer.bsky.social and @elainebvickers.bsky.social! So excited for new books on my shelves.

The Heritage Foundation is threatening to go after writers and editors of Wikipedia.

It’s time to donate some more money if you can.

It’s one of the only places that’s safeguarding facts.

An Open Letter to Our Publishers

With the election of the trump administration and its policies as embodied by Project 2025, we authors have deep concerns about how our publishers will be operating and how publishers will advocate for and protect authors. Trump's agenda explicitly calls for the criminalization of authors, teachers, librarians, and publishing professionals with the consequences including, "imprison[ment]," and being "classed as registered sex offenders" (pg 4 Project 2025)

For authors who are not citizens, this could also result in deportation. This promises to be a pro-censorship, pro-book-banning administration, and the successful implementation of its policies will require willing compliance of America's institutions, including its corporations. The freedom to write is as important as the freedom to read. We have been heartened by many publishers' willingness to engage in legal and legislative pathways to fight book banning and want to be sure that you will double-down on your fight during this consequential time.

This past week AABB help open forums with authors from all genres and age levels to better understand author concerns and needs. While this may not be a complete list due to the rapid turnaround, we know we have a short time before January to prepare for what is to come and we want to this start this conversation sooner rather than later.

An Open Letter to our Publishers has been sent to over 90 Publishing CEOs this morning in response to the concerns of our members. 1/4

That's so awful

We have two cats: a sweet, not so bright ginger named Calcifer and Mothman, our aloof black panther. Except at bedtime, when they're both wild. 😂

Ooh, will read!

Just finished watching Mike Schur's newest series, A Man on the Inside, and it was just as charming and full of heart as I'd hoped. Fans of The Good Place and Brooklyn 99 (and even Gilmore Girls) will recognize some familiar faces. Ted Danson is perfect, as always.

people should have, actually, put "donald trump is a lying liar who lies" in the newspaper

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

Hi hi, Blasian author here with a new middle grade portal fantasy (starring a Blasian Muslim heroine) coming in 2025 from Greenwillow Books, SABRENA SWEPT AWAY! Tell your friends!

That looks amazing!

That's on my TBR (TBW?) All I needed to know was that it had the Pontiac Bandit and Charles Boyle from Brooklyn 99

With apologies to everyone who followed me here after I made my account last summer and then promptly forgot that I had one . . . ! I'm generally slow, but not quite that slow :)
