Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.
Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

Westley and Buttercup say hello :)
From Frankenstein to Frankenstein’s Matzah
Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein at 18. It’s considered the first true science fiction story as it focused on science not magic.

Happy #caturday from #buttercup & #westley
Covers for The Girl and the Dinosaur& The Girl and the Mermaid. One shows a small brown girl and white haired mermaid smiling underwater together. The other shows a white girl with red hair riding on the back of a long neck dinosaur in front of the moon.
📚👍 So many good books.

It’s 100 years of #jewishbookmonth @jewishbookcouncil.bsky.social @jewishbook.bsky.social #celebrateacenturyofjewishbooks #readjewishbooks #jewishbookmonth100
I was fortunate to do a fall course with Kyo Maclear, and also attended CANSCAIP in Toronto, where you can do one-on-one meetings with editors. Both turned into community building opportunities. This is what I love about Bookish, which I host--I meet fabulous people and learn so much #kidlitchat
Why not spend an hour talking #kidlit here on Bluesky? Why not make that hour be today at 9pm Eastern/6pm Pacific when we have #kidlitchat (like we do every Tuesday)? Good plan! And I hope to see you then….
Yay! It's so great when someone notices wording choices you spent hours agonizing over. 😅 Thanks, @rhymedoctors.bsky.social!!

I love your mooshroom!
I took a gelli printing class and it was really fun. And I also learned that I am incredibly impatient which I sort of knew but this class brought it home.

WKLY POLL: List something you enjoyed doing or learning recently that has NOTHING to do w/work events, politics, or self-promo. Hobbies? Food? etc. #CommunityPolls #Uplift
I'm enjoying Togethercraft.net, an inclusive & safe Minecraft server for grown-ups. This wk, I crafted a giant mooshroom! 🍄🐮
