Feeling powerless and a little lost? Here's something you can do!

Right now, @authorsabb.bsky.social is trying to raise money for @flfreedomread.bsky.social. Fla is a bellwether state when it comes to book bans, so bringing the fight there helps the fight everywhere.

I donated $25. Can you?

Some surgeries canceled after ban on youth gender-affirming care Trans rights advocates accused health care providers of “obeying in advance” an executive order that has since been blocked in the courts

Cover of "My Little Golden Book About Pride," a multi racial queer family with a rainbow flag

I just got my copies of My Little Golden Book About Pride. I'm so proud of this one despite the world it is coming out into. I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes the most controversial thing I'll ever publish.

I adored visiting Safe Space bookstore in Prague - queer, feminist, vegan, nonprofit! I got to sign 2 copies of Queer, There, and Everywhere and spend hours feeling at home. Seeing family anywhere we go, it’s beautiful.

That is so cool!

Who would’ve thought that being found guilty of crimes with no consequences would lead to more crimes, right?🥲

If you happen to be connected with a school/library/etc. that has funds for author/illustrator visits, and you're looking for a way to directly support banned artists in this current hellscape, have I got an idea for you!

Most of us make a significant portion of our income from these visits [1/4]

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later

Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.

No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."

Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."

It's a big step towards very bad things.

Thread of @erininthemorning.com breaking down the EO banning gender affirming care for youth (and some sections don’t specify youth)

Bounty laws proposed for 2025 target trans rights, abortion Texas lawmakers pre-filed bounty laws for the 2025 session that allow private citizens to sue over issues targeting trans and pregnant people

State & city legislators are passing laws across the US that offer private citizens cash for reporting trans people, abortions, & librarians, @sarahprager.bsky.social writes. These so-called bounty laws force marginalized communities to pay with their lives.

America's first gay rights group formed a century ago this year & you've probably never heard of it - LGBTQ Nation Before Stonewall and before the Mattachine Society, there was Henry Gerber's Society for Human Rights.

Nice piece by @sarahprager.bsky.social about a brave German-American pioneer from a century ago! (And I stand by my quote: “We are grounded in the present moment only when we understand the moments of the past.”)

Reminder that book-banning and teacher-targeting is an issue in MA too!
