Such a fantastic cover! I was so lucky to have you illustrate it!

Owach!

Colleen and I were at Books Inc. at the same time-- she predated me, and she was there for years after I left.

I'm genuinely gutted to hear they cut her role with the B&N purchase. She deserves better from a company she gave so many years to.

Join Jen and me to learn all about pitching your novel!

Oh SHIT. Two birds with one stone and neither were for immigration. It was to hassle black folk and make a sizzle real about it and to help Wells Fargo out.

Fucking crazy shit.

Honestly I’m not sure! I felt late to the party when I got on the bird around…2015. All the people I followed were kidlit folks. I’d been writing kidlit (unpublished) for about 8 years already. It was glorious to find the community.

Protestors can’t wear mask but ICE can?

Worth noting LBJ used the National Guard to protect and expand civil rights; DJT is doing exactly the opposite.

ICE arrested 36 Chinese & Taiwanese immigrants after raiding an LA nightclub. That's them, ziptied on the sidewalk.

Yo Asians—if you weren't already outraged and mobilizing on behalf of others, guess what? That "First they came for the..." poem has gotten up to us.

Probably my favorite part is the yummy new idea and then seeing how it touches on so many different ideas. Since I’m a pantser the hardest part is finding the right road to travel down.

CONCENTRATING them. Into CAMPS.

Bro I have a BRAIN.

Is there some rule I do t know about about not starting g on time? I’m at a campus lecture. The room is full. The speaker is here. Supposed to start at 11. It’s only 9 minutes after but still why the hell aren’t they starting?!

Our class is coming up soon!

Wow and I call myself a writer. I’m so GLAD you enjoyed it. 😂💕

Were they even ICE agents? This is so frightening.

I’m so you enjoyed it!

What a racist.

We will never be a monarchy. Know that. To quote the LOTR trilogy: Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king.

😩

Bye bye democracy

This is why my mom asked for a better news source tonight. Because she got a text about a loved one who is desperately trying to save their work from the CDC takedown and was like “Is Trump shutting down science? Why didn’t they say anything about that on the news?”

Canadian here, ummm Americans…what are you doing? Seriously are y’all in a coma? Why aren’t you taking to the streets? Where is the outrage?! A full on dismantling of your democracy is happening RIGHT NOW. You’re just watching. S Korea and Brazil took care of it in a day. What are you doing?

Placing blame is awful after a horrible tragedy. Placing blame unfairly is even worse.
