I have reached the time of my life where I need an extra blanket to go to sleep but I will throw it on my partner in the middle of the night when my entire being becomes lava.

In talking with grad students in the #kidlit class I teach at @bostonunitygroup.bsky.social @buwheelock.bsky.social I realized I am probably going to need to create a set of infographics to show the change in #OwnVoice rep in kidlit. #StillUsingOwnVoice #VisualLiteracy #AcademicProblems

The 57 Bus has gender and queer people in it. That’s what they’re banning. I say this as a person and a writer who is queer, and to explain to those of you (not Dashka) who don’t understand why books are getting banned. Banners claim to be against “obscenity” but they’re really against queer folks

Look. I use bay leaves in my soups. Do I think putting old, dried up, nothing smelling leaves in soup makes a difference ? Absolutely. #TeamBayLeaf

Ugh. I am now in the "I put on a hat because I walked the dogs and it was 20 degrees so now I'm married to the hat forever" phase of winter

Started reading stuff I picked up at #NCTE2024 Starts off a bit heavy handed on the "I'm a girl from a conservative Jewish family" but it settles into a fun read. I'm not sure about the representation, so I'll be following up with a few of my students about it.

Look. I'm old-ish. I need someone to teach me about Bluesky starter packs because ... Per Usual ... these are some white nonsense.

My friend, colleague, and one of my models for how to fight for justice, @booktoss.bsky.social won an award for her part in creating the Lee and low diversity baseline survey. Support publishers who don’t just say they believe in books for all, but prove it with their work

Lee and Low won an ALAN award for creating the baseline for diversity survey.

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.
