I’m with you. It’s so hard. May your spoons be plentiful and sharp very very sharp- we both know we need blades to deal with the medical system.

NOOOOOOOOOOO. There will be no hand laying up in this place. Ugh. I need to find some snarky responses to end those conversations quick fast.

A gentle, not-so-gentle PSA in honor of disability pride month. Please stop asking disabled people using mobility aids, "What happened?" You wouldn't ask me "why are you Black," so don't ask me to explain why I am disabled.

Greetings from an exhausted author spoonie recovering from ALA. I'm a nonbinary spoonie who writes picture books. I'm all about Earth care and being outdoors. #spoonieauthchat #disabilitypride

It's the last day of Pride, and it seems fitting that I get to celebrate my Stonewall Honor today! Will share more ALA highlights soon, but for now, gifting you this beautiful handmade card created by my dear soul sibling @awildword.bsky.social. #queersky #pride #chosenfamily

Happy Freedom day. I recognize that saying these words feels ironic given the times we live in. But today is a reminder that our ancestors sacrificed everything for our liberation. May we use this day to nourish our souls as we continue to fight for our freedom. #blackjoy #blacksky #AddtoBlackSky

As the mom of a nonbinary kid, I can tell you that it's so rare that they get to see themself in books-- especially in FUN books that aren't *about* being nonbinary. Enby kids deserve to have their silly hijinks stories too!

(Fyi, GOING OVERBOARD is also available as an audiobook!)

It's #LGBTQFamiliesDay! A wonderful day to send support to queer families everywhere, particularly this year. We are all in this together!
