Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

Masked federal agents in Minnesota just shot and killed another person. We must put a stop to Trump’s ICE. Now. Stop the funding, stop the occupations, stop the killings.

Don't say "it will die in the senate" Say "I will kill it in the senate" And then call them. It takes so few calls, comparatively, to make it feel like a wave crashing over them. We need to be the wave, again and again.

Many years ago, I was feeling stressed by the state of the world and I started a Holiday Fairies thing where people sent me their wishlists and I publicized them to try to get everyone gifts for the holidays. @shelflove.bsky.social skillfully took it over and made it An Actual Thing! Like SRSLY!

BEHOLD. the absolutely gorgeous cover that Clare Vaughn and her team at @epicreads.bsky.social got @briannashrum.bsky.social and me for our next sapphic YA romance, DON'T FORGET TO BREATHE. it's out 10/21, and yes, you can preorder it! bookshop.org/p/books/don-...

book cover: a white girl in a pink mini-dress and athletic sneakers sits on the large branch of a tree, in front of a swath of the tree's blooming white flowers. her head is not in the picture. below the tree branch (about halfway down the image) is a night sky, with two constellations highlighted--Maui's fishhook and Orion. layered on top of the sky is text: the top two lines are in a small white block font, in all caps; they read, "even when/you're falling..." Below, in the same shade of pink as the girl's dress, is the title of the book, one word on each line: "Don't Forget to Breathe." The first and third words "Don't" and "to" are in block caps, and the second and fourth, "Forget" and "Breathe" are in a romantic script, accentuated with the tree's white blossoms. Below the title are the authors' names, in the same white block font as the first lines: Brianna R. Shrum & Sara Waxelbaum.
