Dear fellow queeros-Yes, Stonewall happened in June. Yes, we honor our ancestors by celebrating Pride in June. But we r in a climate catastrophe. Being outdoors grindin' and sweatin' when it feels like Satan’s breath outside is no longer feasible. Can we plz find another month- urs a queer spoonie

I grew up in a world where I never saw people like me in the media. Probably why it took nearly 40 years for me to figure out who I am. Under this bill, books like mine would be banned from schools nationwide. Act NOW. Representation saves lives. #transkidsareourkids #fbookbans

H.R. 7661 would harm so many publishers, authors, and readers. Only the smallest sliver of human experience would make it onto shelves. If you think kids deserve the world, you are against this bill - please read this article and call your reps.

A gentle, not-so-gentle PSA in honor of disability pride month. Please stop asking disabled people using mobility aids, "What happened?" You wouldn't ask me "why are you Black," so don't ask me to explain why I am disabled.

Happy Freedom day. I recognize that saying these words feels ironic given the times we live in. But today is a reminder that our ancestors sacrificed everything for our liberation. May we use this day to nourish our souls as we continue to fight for our freedom. #blackjoy #blacksky #AddtoBlackSky

As the mom of a nonbinary kid, I can tell you that it's so rare that they get to see themself in books-- especially in FUN books that aren't *about* being nonbinary. Enby kids deserve to have their silly hijinks stories too! (Fyi, GOING OVERBOARD is also available as an audiobook!)

A black square features the words TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS in light blue, pink, and white because, 1. DUH, and 2. as Pedro Pascal said, "I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist." Trans rights are human rights, today and every day. <3

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.
