Last thing about #AWP26: The BEST part was meeting other authors and publishers who were so lovely, so passionate, so fashionable, and so inquisitive. I have a plethora of people I can follow on social media, support by purchasing their books, and look to for community. I'm so happy I went.

I didn't get to attend all of the #AWP26 sessions I wanted (b/c it was so insanely packed with events from 9 to 5, Th through Sat), but I thoroughly enjoyed the ones I did. Th 3/5: Writing Gender-Based Sexual Violence is Difficult Enough: So How Do We Teach It? Moderated by Sue William Silverman,

On the flight back from #AWP26 last night, I read THE VAMPIRE GIDEON'S SUICIDE HOTLINE AND HALFWAY HOUSE FOR ORPHAN GIRLS by Andrew Katz, which was picked up at the massive book fair at Lanternfish Press's booth. I've never finished a whole book on a plane before and enjoyed it so thoroughly.

I'm buzzing with excitement about getting to go to #AWP for the first time ever. I'm ready to talk novels and chapbooks and social justice with other struggling writers and spend money I don't have. 😅

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

One thing I'm fucken sick of hearing is that people on the poverty line "don't want handouts." Well, the rich take hand outs. Maybe they're rich bc they were offered handouts. Maybe they're rich bc they take them. This "shame in receiving free money" for the poor but not the rich makes me SO MAD

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard. #MosaicMonday

A horrific image of a someone who seems to have his hands tied behind his back. A big cat (the predator kind, not the overfed pet kind) has jumped up at him and is devouring his face. Blood splashes on the floor.

when you have anti-DEI proponents openly going after black military officers for recruiting from HBCUs and suing schools for their black and Hispanic enrollment *even after the schools ended any racial preferences* then the only honest label for these people is "segregationist"

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok? Signed, a librarian.

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this: Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius. If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.
