Poptart and Payday have been waiting for a furever home for 3 years and Elise was rescued from Liberty State Park last winter and has been waiting patiently too. Everyone is settling in well, including our resident buns Snowflake and Philly.

Rescue the buns who’ve been waiting! They’re worth it.

We lost our dear rabbit Heidi last weekend to what we now know was likely chronic kidney disease, but the house felt too empty without her.

Soooooo we adopted more rescue buns because we have space, love, and food to spare! Introducing Poptart, Payday and Elise. πŸ₯°

Every day my desire to spend time on social media lessens. I am always torn between feeling like I need to post and self-promote my work but ultimately I chose to be a writer instead of a marketing manager. The fuel for my creativity isn’t in a screen. #kidlitchat

Would anyone be interested if i started a new newsletter/series specifically discussing my adventures in bunny care and rescue? We lost our sweet stinky bun Heidi over the weekend and I would love to share more about her and the rest of the Misfit Rescue Fluffle. πŸ₯Ί #writingsky

Well we’re back at the vet, so sharing ways you can help us. This one hasn’t been eating properly.

Books Save Lives.

Find your courage.
Follow your moral compass.
Do not obey in advance.

Banning books for kids β€” for all humans β€” is a form of violence.

Truly so good!!! Not at all my usual type of book as someone who usually reads soft cinnamon roll queer romance but that book is such an incredible force.

She does! She’s done so many books across so many genres and age categoriesβ€”some of my favorites have been Each of Us a Desert, It Had to Be You (as part of an ensemble), The Last Cuentista, Of Women and Salt and Across So Many Seas (as part of an ensemble).

We all know β€˜tragedy’ comes from Greek.

β€˜tragos’ = goat

β€˜aeidein’ = to sing

So β€˜tragedy’ originally meant β€œgoat song.”

Not to be confused with the GOAT song, which is probably β€œFast Car” by Tracy Chapman.

NJ students in grades 6-12 will now learn about β€œthe history of organized labor, notable strikes throughout history, unionization drives, and the collective bargaining process and existing legal protections in the workplace.”

This is genuinely so important, and so good to see. Jersey strong, baby!!

Nobody is β€œgrooming” your kids to be gay or trans but people ARE grooming them to be Nazis.

Live your life in such a way that people aren't refreshing their social media 24/7 in hopes that there's breaking news that you have died.

Another morning to say that I will not vote for Gavin Newsom when he inevitably runs for president. If you want my vote, you should make sure to nominate someone who isn't a transphobe.

As I just said on CNN, my father's parents were Nakba survivors. I don't want Israeli children to live in fear and I don't want Palestinian children to starve to death. There is nothing anyone could do to make me put nationalistic talking points above basic human rights.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically β€œtriangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.
