Authors of adult fiction, I don't know how else to convince you that you need teens to read in order to have adults who read. Giving teens books that are specifically written for their developmental stages doesn't detract from adult fiction, but it does help bridge the gap so you get have readers.

(I am choosing my words very carefully because I don’t want to be misunderstood. Ableism is a very real thing, and it affects most disabled people on a daily basis. However, being asked to put an effort to learn new things, it’s not in fact ableism.)

As a writer of children's literature, I absolutely approach my work differently than I would adult works. That's just good practice. But, it's critically important that people involved in the production of kidlit respect children's intelligence. They can understand complex things.

Oh, I see we're doing "is it okay to use pop culture references in kidlit knowing they might become dated or weird" discourse again. I say yes. And I say this as someone whose book referencing Jose Altuve positively came out a few months after the Astros cheating scandal broke.

For some reason, the MLB app on my ipad shows me the score for Game 4 of the 2023 World Series every time I open it. IDK what's going on there. If not for this tech glitch, I would have completely forgotten that the Texas Rangers randomly won the WS, however.

If you're a book creator and you're mad about our latest scandal du jour I encourage you to channel that energy into: 1. Calling your reps (house) and demanding they vote no on HRs 7661 and 2616 2. Volunteering with AABB. We NEED more people. We NEED this energy. TLDR: Touch grass, call your reps

Jackie Robinson grew up in a diverse Pasadena neighborhood, & when one of those neighbors, his baseball teammate Shig Takayama, was incarcerated at Manzanar with his family, the Robinsons helped take care of their home. For my new column, a story of the worst & best of America through baseball. 🗃️

I'm very late in finishing Bridgerton season 4, but I have to say that I think it's a nice portrayal of a bisexual person who ends up in an m/f relationship. Do I think it should win any awards? No. But I liked it. Is this a niche take? I kind of feel like maybe it is.

Periodically someone will be all, "WHY DO ADULTS READ YA" and IMO the answer is that YA is great because it manages to have characters who have big emotions about what are generally low stakes (and usually relatable) dramas like being mad at your parents or having a crush

The failure of our elites to hold Trump accountable for January 6th is as disgraceful as what happened on that awful day. Since 2010, 35 democratic leaders around the world have been criminally convicted. Only Trump went unpunished and unconstrained. Now he threatens democracy at home and abroad.
