If you use AI to create your art, your story, your whatever, I immediately know you don’t care about making things — you only care about selling them.

Fàránlega töff! Strandaglóparnir halda áfram að hrúga verðlaunum og viðurkenningum til sín á Surtsey. Í vikunni var bókin tilnefnd til Black-Eyed Susan Book Award (Maryland Association of School Librarians), sem besta myndabókin! Á ekki til orð. Þetta er ótrúlegt! 🤯 #ævarsbækur #stranded

And the right response to transphobes is *always* to uplift trans voices, as a reminder that we have always been here and we will always be here. So here's another stack of recommendations of trans and nonbinary writers writing amazing, fantastical, magical stories for kids.

A hand holding up a stack of books in front of blurry bookshelves. The books are, from top to bottom:

THE STRANGEWORLDS TRAVEL AGENCY by LD Lapinski
VIVI CONWAY AND THE HAUNTED QUEST by Lizzie Huxley-Jones
THE OTHERWOODS by Justine Pucella Winans
SIR CALLIE AND THE WITCH'S WAR by Esme Symes-Smith
THIS IS OUR RAINBOW: 16 STORIES ABOUT HER, HIM, THEM, AND US edited by Katherine Locke and Nicole Melleby
ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by Clare Edge
A SONG FOR YOU AND I by K. O'Neill
THE OJJA-WOJJA by Magdalene Visaggio and Jenn St-Onge

Will Ferrell has an enormous audience of straight dudes who need to hear this. Nothing but facts here about anti-trans bigotry:

Will Farrell on his trans friend Harper and why bigotry needs to get over things that aren’t hurting anyone and are none ot their goddamned business.

Mér þykir ótrúlega vænt um það að Pó úr Drengnum með ljáinn og Ragnar úr Skólaslitum 2 (og bráðum 3) komist hér á blað. Við erum alls konar og það er lífsnauðsynlegt að persónur í íslenskum barna- og unglingabókum endurspegli það.

Hvað með börnin? Um trans persónur í íslenskum barnabókum

Í Kynvillta bókmenntahorninu er skrifað um hinsegin bókmenntir og hinseginleikann í bókmenntum — við lesum á skjön, skyggnumst út fyrir síðurnar og skoðum það sem býr á milli línan...
