🧵 In 2025, book censorship in the United States is rampant and common. Never before in the life of any living American have so many books been systematically removed from school libraries across the country.

A movie-style poster. The background is a tall light on a sandy beach at dusk. In a circle on the upper left is a head of a young man, and on the right is a circle with the head of a curly-haired young girl. There are several lines of text. The first line reads “There’s a dark undercurrent in this seaside town.” The second line reads “Bludeye Beach. No one walks home alone at night.” The final block of text at the bottom reads “Available now in query trenches near you. Debut novel from local cryptid enthusiast Eliwood S. Gheist. Prolonged reading may lead to slow burn romances, found families, and an urge to check under your bed. Recommended for fans of Nettle & Bone and Camp Damascus.”

Beautiful day in Colorado! Decided to go for a walk. Thought I might add to all of the lovely blooming tree posts I’ve been seeing. Instead, I got mesmerized by the shadows clawing at the ground, like winter demons desperately trying to stop spring. 🤣 My imagination took a dark turn. #writer

In THE KEEPERS, the queens of these matriarchal lands are preparing to burn witches for their unnatural magic. Planning doesn't always go smoothly when witches somehow catch wind of the plans 🤳🏻👀 #UnhingedPit #WarChat #Q #A #F #AmQuerying #LiteraryFiction

Image shows background of a phone with text messages overlaid. Group chat name is "Queens (and that Prince) War Chat". First message, from user with a crown on a green background image, reads on a green background: Confirm go to burn witches? Sanverra is a go. Next message, from user with volcano image on a reddish background, reads: Full go for Floutsburg. About time the rest of you get on our level (three fire emojis). Next message from a user with a gold crown image reads, on an orange background: Confirmed Oso Arvha. Best way to end this plague (prayer hands emoji). Next message, from user with a prince image, reads on a blue background: Narvha okay too. and can we plz change the name of this group? Final image, on the right hand side of the screen, with a black witch hat image, reads on a dark grey background: am I supposed to be on this?
