Thanks so much to @12x12challenge.bsky.social for sharing my story how I signed with the wonderful @thejordache.bsky.social at @awfulagent.bsky.social !

Dems cannot win by capitulating to transphobes. It’s morally repugnant, which should make it a non-starter, but wait! It’s a losing strategy, too!

Heading out on our annual camping trip this weekend. Remember to return those overdue library books 🤭

Forever grateful to this extraordinary woman for inspiring me to be a writer. Celebrate your gorgeous grandmas today and every day! ❤️

History is going to look very poorly on choices like this.

If you see this, post your blue art! 🩵

God FUCKING dammit, it's TWO IN THE FUCKING MORNING and I have to go to work in like five hours but I couldn't put down ONE OF THE BOYS by @dirtbagqueer.rocks until I finished it

FUCK. Go buy it, so you will suffer like I'm gonna suffer tomorrow. IT'S FUCKING GOOD, OKAY?

Cover of Choose Your Own Adventure Jr.: Kaiju Gaga A Gamebook for Young Adventurers By E.C. Myers Illustrated by Norm Grock Picture shows an adorable green baby kaiju with spikes around its head; large, friendly eyes; a big smile; and claws. It stands on one stubby foot on a pedestal surrounded by rope barriers, its left foot raised, with a chonky tail behind it. Kaiju movie posters are on the walls behind it.

Wanna see something ~amazing~?!

This is the cover of KAIJU GAGA, beautifully illustrated by @normgrock.bsky.social! 🤩

I grew up reading @chooseadventure.bsky.social, so it's thrilling to see my name on a book with that iconic red logo. I loved writing it and I hope kids (and you!) love reading it.

Spending my spare time playing Linus in a community theatre production of YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN. It's a joy.

Hobbies are important, y'all.

The winners, finalists, and notable reads of the 2025 Utah Book Awards were announced today. @kipalizadeh.net and I are honored The Wishing Flower was selected as a finalist! I’m excited to meet everyone in person at the reception in October. Congrats to all! 💜 utahhumanities.org/programs/cen...

So 45 minutes after picking up our rental car from Budget at the airport in Albuquerque the car completely broke down. Apparently Budget plans on billing us for roadside assistance and potentially the dead engine. While husband, 2 kids, and I sit in 95 degree heat on the highway. I hate this shit.

TO HOMIES IN THE CAPITOL REGION/ADIRONDACKS!

My heart is smiling! Thank you so much, @ellarebee.bsky.social!!! 🩷💜💙

Absolutely HORRIFIC decision by UPenn. Will scrap all of Lia Thomas' wins, will adopt "biological definitions" for Title IX under Trump's order, and more.

Some of this could lead to bathroom bans at UPenn too given the admin views bathroom usage as in violation.

This is a dramatic understatement of what UPenn agree to. They are also banning any and all Title IX protections for trans students and agreeing that trans people don't actually exist.

the tide is going to turn back. and when it does we can't let places like penn pretend like they never did this

Thank you, Utah Humanities! 💜

Here is what our judges had to say about each of our 2025 Utah Book Award Notable Reads in the Illustrated category.

The Finalists and Winners will be chosen from these books and announced on July 15, 2025. #kidlit #booksky @kipalizadeh.net

Oh hey look, I'm in this one 🙃 (subtly - I'm the declarant from Vermont)

If you don't think it's a big deal that the government is refusing to issue me a passport that matches all my other legal identity docs, a reminder that some of us travel internationally for work or other reasons and now can't

Big feelings & a small celebration.
