ALA Public Policy & Advocacy @librarypolicy.bsky.social · 05/08/2026
A federal book banning bill is being considered in the Senate, and we need to make our voices heard! Library advocates will not stay silent: this is too important. Tell your Senators to reject S4925 and stand up for the right to read: www.action.ala.org/campaign/S4925
Show up for our libraries, ALA 150 American Library Association.

It's conference season, so I wanted to share the AI refusal statement I put at the end of my presentations and book talks. Feel free to use it!
AI Refusal Statement
I did not use generative AI at any point in the production of this book or presentation, including the literature review, writing, editing, translation, organization, or any other task (e.g. brainstorming). To the extent that it is possible to know, I did not cite any studies that used generative AI.
Justification: GenAI technology is based on stolen labor, anti-solidarity between workers, class exploitation, structural racism, misogyny, environmental injustice, and climate destabilization.

Clockwise from top left: 
2 boys racing downhill on the same bike. The boy in the back has arms raised in exhilaration. In the distance there is blue water and a small town.
Red Riding Hood is in the foreground holding a basket, with a foreboding wolf, that presents almost as a shadow, behind her. Bare blue trees with no leaves are in the background. Red poppies surround the girl.
A girl stands next to her bicycle looking into the distance at what appears to be a magical city.
A child and their pets are all on the living room floor. The child is drawing.
A girl with blue headphones, dark hair pulled into a ponytail, a black backpack, green shirt, and brown pants sings with her eyes closed as she walks down a sidewalk. Small blue notes can be seen above her head.

I just found out that some AI scammer is sending emails to writers using my name, former title, & likeness. I feel like the only way to combat this is with weirdness, so if you get a publishing email from me out of the blue, you’ll know it’s really me if it contains the following as a word: 🦑

I read Judy Blume, Lois Duncan, Carolyn Keene, Francine Pascal, Madeline L'Engle, Mary Higgins Clark, V. C. Andrews, Judith Krantz, Danielle Steel, Patricia Cornwell, and on and on, and literally whatever I could get my hands on. Let your kids read broadly and fall in love with books.

I jumped from Judy Blume to Dean Koontz and Stephen King. Then there was Anne Rice. There was no delineation like we have today. You just devoured books. Wish we allowed kids today to do the same instead of pointing out everything they can’t read. Maybe, then, they would feel empowered to read.

Hand holding a library book. The bright orange cover is scribbled with algebra, geometry, and calculus math problems. Along with the title and author, it says “If you can survive a bolt of lightning, you can survive middle school…right?”

If you have the means, preorder your favorite author’s next book. Why? 1. It boosts publisher and retailer confidence, which leads to more support. 2. It can increase the initial print run, reducing launch-week shortages. 3. It helps secure stronger shelf placement instead of back-corner exile.

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet. But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

Disclaimer: The way #ALAyma awards are broadcast makes it VERY tricky to screengrab/crop/post and there's no pausing or rewatching the live feed. I wish there was time to include text to describe screenshots, but it's just too fast. I couldn't even snag all the honors at the beginning!
