Thank you all so much for your honesty and openness this last week. Thank you for being a light. #diverseathon

.@diverseathon In the issues in which you are an ally, don't shame those who are affected by that issue into being vocal.

[DiverseAThon @diverseathon]

Love this! A key way to end discrimination is by actually forging real relationships with people of different backgrounds ❤️ #DiverseAThon https://t.co/XxlWuXb10d

@diverseathon This Spring I am starting a community interfaith book club, to read fiction by diverse authors as a way to meet each other.

[Janani (they/them) @TheShrinkette]

Not dismissing marginalized folx calling out problematic publishing things as "drama"- they stem from the same shitty existent systems. https://t.co/ipoLvjZkqT

Donate to the cause, spread the word, support each other!

We can't physically be there but the power of social media is HUGE! #DiverseAThon https://t.co/XM3A8ogho1

[A.M. @Koiviolet]

I've been trying to push beyond my comfort zone & engage in daily acts of resistance every day #DiverseAThon https://t.co/wanYd3aftR

[DiverseAThon @diverseathon]

And the last question for #DiverseAThon - let's look at the actions we should all be taking

[Veronika @VVeronika96]

I need to follow more marginalized voices & listen to THEM, instead of boosting the first non-marginalized ppl's tweet I see #DiverseAThon https://t.co/KxaycuJwwj

[Briston Brooks | OCD and ADHD @briston_brooks]

.@diverseathon I LOVE THIS QUESTION #DiverseAThon

[DiverseAThon @diverseathon]

@Koiviolet definitely my goal too. Thank you for sharing! #DiverseAThon

[A.M. @Koiviolet]

A very tough question. I know I need to listen more & to stop being defensive when someone calls me out. #DiverseAThon https://t.co/nGZPRgfuYq

[DiverseAThon @diverseathon]

Next Q: let's get a bit uncomfortable - think about your reading life or in general. #DiverseAThon
