Hi loves! I'm kicking off the year with an updated space to show off all the incredible books I've worked on. I'm so proud to have been just a wee part of each of these brilliant stories, so if you're looking for a creator to support, please come on by! https://t.co/dH9TS1zNOF

Turned in the last of my edits for PENNIES. Still have copyedits and whatnot but I'm basically done with these girls. Mae, Lark, Claret, and Brigid built a fort right in the middle of my heart. Hope young readers love them, too.

PENNIES - a Blight Harbor prequel - out fall 2025.

once again, really urging people to get a library card if you haven't already - and not just that, i'm begging you to USE your library resources. show up. though they're important, we do way more than just books. libraries are spaces that allow community building and care.

@kentdwolf This is the first thing I’ve laughed at all day. Thank you ❤️

Look for the helpers. Empower the helpers. Become the helpers.

Strangely, it's moments like this that I feel most lucky to be queer. I think about our elders. How hopeless they must have felt. How easy it would have been to give up. But they fought for the life I get to live today. What an insult it would be, to them, to succumb to despair

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

It is more important to look at why Trump was allowed to run, after committing sedition and a number of other crimes to which he confessed, than why he was able to win.

@Chasten NO NO YOU’RE FINE THIS LEVEL OF CAFFEINE IS GOOD ACTUALLY

[Julia McCarthy @thejumbles]

Today I am doing my best to focus on the thousands upon thousands of people who have been mobilizing and advocating and educating and assisting and protesting and demanding a better future. There is so much love and kindness in those acts. The helpers exist. Let’s keep fighting.

There is no ache so deep as missing someone for the rest of your life.
