I think of a library haul as speed dating. I read a few pages of each one, keep the ones that intrigue me the most, and send back any that donβt resonate right now in case people are waiting for them. But damn, this is a stack!

Another school district just quietly removing over 500 (FIVE HUNDRED) books in the last year. This stuff is not slowing down
Keep creating, even if the world feels hard. Even if the work feels hard. The world needs your voice. There's a kid out there who will be changed because of your imagination and efforts. And even if the work feels lonely, you aren't alone. I'm so proud to be in the publishing trenches with you.

I just saw Superman film at the movies. πΏ Love a packed theater and spontaneous applause at the end of a film! Then came home to read outside. Ahhh, the small joys of summer vacation.

my summer vacation from teaching, day 4β¦.
Oh, the wonderful freedom to spend my afternoon researching word origins to name 7 planets in my new secret WIP.
History has its eyes on you poster
Join us tomorrow in peaceful protest, because we have the Constitutional right to protest and the responsibility to defend our democracy against tyranny.
A statement from Kamala D. Harris: Los Angeles is my home. And like so many Americans, I am appalled at what we are witnessing on the streets of our city. Deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos. In addition to the recent ICE raids in Southern California and across our nation, it is part of the Trump Administrationβs cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division. This Administrationβs actions are not about public safety βtheyβre about stoking fear. Fear of a community demanding dignity and due process. Protest is a powerful tool β essential in the fight for justice. And as the LAPD, Mayor, and Governor have noted, demonstrations in defense of our immigrant neighbors have been overwhelmingly peaceful. I continue to support the millions of Americans who are standing up to protect our most fundamental rights and freedoms.
My statement on what's unfolding in Los Angeles.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.
Sounds good! Let me know what month youβd like!
