Born Bad made me a fan. Another Chance to Get it Right made me a believer. But everything after was an education.

"THIS BOOK IS SO IMPORTANT! Bullying is one of those things I think almost all of us can agree needs to stop. OBaaT is something every school needs - every person needs. This is definitely a book I will be keeping on my shelf for my nieces, nephews, and littles of my own."

"As a librarian, I often struggle to find books for teens that explore family situations differently than a nuclear family or a single parent. The main protagonist is a foster child. That dynamic is explored as well as her friends' family situations, but the book's main focus is bullying."

Bullying is the weapon of the insecure, aimed at the different, the brave, and the kind. Stand firm. Not in silence, but in strength, because your light threatens only those still lost in the dark.

I just saw an influencer on TikTok say that they refuse to give their child Tylenol, and instead they only give them acetaminophen so I’m just logging off for the day

I don't have any kids, so I can't say "I want to live long enough to dance at my grandchild's wedding."

After some thought, I've decided on "I want to live long enough to play that codger in the disaster movie who refuses to obey the evacuation order because he 'ain't scared of no tor-NAY-dey'."

The original rednecks were mine workers wearing red for the union, in pitched battles with soldiers and Pinkertons. They fought and often died for workers rights, your rights. They got memory holed, but that's still us. We are not feckless people, we just need to remember.

And, just maybe, strike.
