There are many things not to love about New York City but having everyone in the coffeeshop ignore me & act normal while I sob into my overpriced latte while reading Sunrise On the Reaping is absolutely a Love 😂😭

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

My U.S. Rep, a Democrat, held a town hall and explicitly said that THE REASON she was speaking out louder now was because she got so many calls and emails. DEFINITELY YELL AT THEM. It’s the only language they speak. It’s literally how they gauge public opinion.

A Friday reminder that having your book banned doesn't sell books. Only THE MOST banned books see support, and I assure you all those creators would prefer their books were NOT banned instead. There's no silver lining. It's just the knowledge that ppl hate you! Ok have a good weekend

Book bans impact public libraries & bookstores, but it’s school libraries where they are rampant ❤️‍🩹 Many kids are unable to make it to the public library. They can’t drive, often times the library isn’t in walking distance. It’s not that their grown-ups don’t want them to be library kids. 🧵 1/11

Time for a cover reveal! THE BEASTS BENEATH THE WINDS, a middle grade anthology about Southeast Asian cryptids by an all SEAn author and illustrator team is ready for preorder! 🐉 cover design by Micah Fleming! #Booksky #art #illustration

A book cover depicting 5 beasts floating in the sky, four of which frame a beast in the middle. On the top left is a short ape-like creature resembling an orangutan. On the top right is an "asian unicorn": a beast resembling barongsai/lion dancer creature but with antlers like deer and legs like a horse. On the bottom left is a werewolf-esque creature that has the body of a gorilla and the head of a wolf with red eyes. On the bottom right is the Garuda: a creature that has the head and beak of a bird (like an eagle) and body of a man with wings. This creature is bejeweled and wears a sarong. The creature in the middle resembles a harpy or alkonost- a bird with the face and form of a woman. It's long body is that of a peacock, with a long colorful tail of feathers. In the background is a small hill with a temple. The oceans and a dock are nearby, where wooden boats are seen. Among the beasts is the title: "THE BEASTS BENEATH THE WINDS, Tales of Southeast Asia's Mythical Creatures. Edited by Hanna Alkaf"

I know we have a warped sense of what a banned book is because it's been a badge of honor for so long since those bans were stopped, but most banned books aren't famous and get quietly removed with no fanfare in such a way that no one knows they were banned or even that they exist.

Flashlights and a battery-powered radio with extra batteries.
A 3-day supply of food and 3 gallons of water per person (if possible).
Change of clothes, extra glasses/contact lenses.
Pet food and water bowls.
Sturdy shoes for evacuation, if needed (noted as being highly recommended over the last 24 hours).
