That glorious and terrifying moment when the poet prints her manuscript...

A book manuscript is printed and taped page-by-page on two walls. Beneath them is a bed, a plant, and an air filter.

Book banning is real and is terrorizing teachers, librarians & students from marginalized identities now. It is worse than it has ever been. If you’re remembering your quaint “Celebrate Freedom. Read a Banned Book” T-shirt, adjust your perspective. You’ve brought an umbrella to a hurricane.

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them. Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is. Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

I'd dump all social media right now, but I'd miss the poets so much. 😭

Would any French-fluent mutuals be up for translating two short sentences from English into French for me? I don’t trust Google. DM if so! 🫶

He likes stories about portals and robots. Also a big Pokemon fan. My sci-fi favorites aren't particularly age appropriate for him. Though I also love Star Trek and Doctor Who and have a few ideas of episodes to show him as an intro.

Sci-fi nerds of Bluesky: Any recommendations for introducing a 9yo to the genre? Books, TV, movies, games are all welcome.
