On 'Girls of Paper and Fire' by @girlinthelens: "It isn't just important because it's good, or because this story brushed my soul. It's good because a book like this being championed by a large publishing house means we're moving in the right direction."

Authors! So you just introduced a character who is caramel/bronze/honey/molten lava (??) with lush, flowing black hair and they're apparently a desert dweller:

⏹️ Are they Arab?
⏹️ Are they Persian?
⏹️ Are they Indian?

In recent years, young adult novels have started taking on an increasingly relevant issue: sexual assault. https://t.co/djpSiLcgYA

Fast on the heels of our five-star 'Furyborn' review... is something different. Take a look at why we didn't love this upcoming YA release: https://t.co/7fVIb6mLZC #downinthebellyofthewhale #books #bookreview #amreading

[Hafsah Faizal @hafsahfaizal]

Here's a thought: if an author doesn't call themselves Muslim, let's not call them a Muslim. A 'Muslim-sounding name' doesn't equate to being a person of the Islamic faith.

[#ACraftyArab is comparing @acraftyarab]

I love my blog that educates kids about the Arab & Islamic world

It's 10 yrs old with 100s of tutorials, activities, book lists, & downloads

It makes 0 money (okay, I made $6 in ads last month), receives hate mail, death threats & I'll keep writing it till my fingers fall off https://t.co/3aCyA6WkOC

It amazes me that Twitter's go to response when I say something political that gets traction is to say I'm fat and can't get a boyfriend like this is middle school.

Oh I am just so terribly cut to the bone sir I shall alert the hall monitor at once

#MondayMotivation reminder:

[Catherynne M. Valente @catvalente]

I only just now started thinking about the connection between a 10+ year trend of dystopian novels & the activism of young people today.

In all the panels I've been on about dystopia no one ever talked about how it would shape a person to be brought up on dozens of them.
