I am alert because every voice counts. I am alert because democratic principles are the foundation of our freedom. I am alert because I can’t be silent. I am alert because pretending everything is OK is poison. Join me. Be alert. wearealert.org thefulcrum.us/civic-engage...

An autistic heroine who isn't a sidekick, a lesson, or comic relief. She reads spirits the way she can't read people. Hides her power in a kingdom where magic means death. And the two realms? Mortal vs. Immortal, both are collapsing because she exists. The Mist Between Us #W #QuestPit #A #RF #ND
Arch-shaped graphic on a dark navy background. Inside the arch, a starry night sky with the Milky Way arcs over snow-capped mountains reflected in still water. Centered title reads THE MIST BETWEEN US in serif lettering. Six handwritten trope tags with arrows surround the arch: Autistic FMC, Fate of the World in Her Hands, Slow Burn, Elemental and Spiritual Magic, Bonding with Magical Creatures, Hidden Identity.
