Tonight, in his hometown of Indianapolis, John Green talked about his new book, Hollywood Ending, but more importantly he talked about the importance of art and friendships and humanity and love and hope. It was important and reassuring and made better by being there with people I genuinely LOVE.

Tonight, I was honored to represent @infreedom.bsky.social & @uabookbans.bsky.social before both @jodipicoult.bsky.social events in Franklin, IN with @wildgeesebookshop.bsky.social. Again I want to reiterate that change happens when each one of us chooses to do something. So, do something!

Over on TikTok, there are videos of kids putting up No AI handmade flyers over AI made flyers in their schools. I wholeheartedly support this! Below is a screenshot from one such video.
