out of context that might seem like a dig? But grandmas are dope. And Hannah says this book is dope. Can’t wait to get my copy on Tuesday!!

“You can recommend this book to your grandma.”

this is the thing about capitulation to bullies (fascism). they're gonna take the thing (rights/civil liberties/books/lives) away *regardless* of if you "play by their rules" or not. the rules are made up and the points don't matter. STAND UP FIGHT BACK.

the emails I get back from my congressmen are so condescending about how the government works as if they themselves do not understand the fundamental difference between the legislative and the executive branches nor the basic concept of checks and balances

This is an incredibly good article

These folks are out here doing my job for me. Two weeks to go! So excited to share this book with you.

every author alive wishes they had the organizational talent and gumption of the TB Fighters <3

The cookie sheet is too real 😭 with a lil tissue paper under it that curls up when food touches it

there is a certain kind of metal chair at a restaurant that if I see it I turn around and walk right back out the door and go home and cook the food I have at home

Dear Writers,

You don’t have to submit your book for “pay to play” awards. No award is better than spending money you don’t have on an award the majority of readers and book buyers don’t know or care about. ❤️

Love, Leann

Poverty, By America is SO. GOOD. I listened to it and had to go buy it in paperback as well.

I want particularly for libraries and educators to remember this. You can still have gay books in your classrooms. You can still have Black history month displays (and maybe also during months that aren't February). We've already seen such a chilling effect and the laws aren't even inked yet.

I appreciate this! I read MONSTERS by Claire Dederer recently and I was left with: I don’t want to put money in living monsters’ pockets. If their work impacted my life, I can’t pretend it didn’t. To ignore that would mean I’m not grappling with it and, like, societal complicity or something.

hmm maybe it should go with YouTube and Discord, it is saved 🫡

Dear Writers,

You don’t need to have an e-mail newsletter.

ok but if you could delete all the social media platforms, all things being equal, for at least 6 weeks, excluding YouTube and Discord, would you?

NIGHT WATCH by Jayne Anne Phillips

THE MESSAGE by Ta-Nehisi Coates 🎧 by author. To speak about this book feels foolish because the best words are in the book. Coates’ nuance, precision, and empathy is unmatched. Required reading for all Americans, all book lovers, and everyone grappling with complicity. READ IT.

Audiobooks are incredible for finally cracking into oldsy timsey classics! Books I’ve never been able to read because the language is dense and unfamiliar at first are so alive and relevant when read to me. 🥲
