It's Banned Books Week. If you are an author, please join @authorsabb.bsky.social! If you work in the publishing industry, please join @pubprosabb.bsky.social! Canadian authors, you can now join Canadian Authors & Illustrators Against Book bans: linktr.ee/caiabb. Working together feels good! 📚✍️👏
The black and white cover of a zine titled Do you make books? Yes? I want YOU to join Authors Against Book Bans! By Maia Kobabe. The image shows author Maia Kobabe holding a stack of books and pointing at the reader
WHAT IS AABB? 
A coalition of writers, illustrators, editors & other book creators, standing united against the unconstitutional movement to limit the freedom to read. We support the availability of diverse voices in our libraries, in our schools, & in our culture. We pledge to band together against the oppression of literature, to speak when our voices are silenced, to go where our bodies are needed, & to fight to ensure this freedom.

Our concern is not only for the books, but for the children, families, educators,
librarians, & communities who suffer when the freedom to read is challenged and taken away.

WHAT CAN AABB OFFER YOU? 
- Regional groups working on legislation to protect authors & the freedom to read state-by-state
- Online trainings on digital security, public speaking, & how to counter book challenges in your community
-Affinity groups for BIPOC authors, queer authors, authors with disabilities, indie, nonfiction, romance writers & more
-Support if your book is challenged or your school visit is canceled!
-A very active discord community
Person: What if my book hasn’t been challenged? 
Maia: JOIN!
Person: Ok, but what if I’m really busy and can’t do much organizing right now? 
Maia: JOIN ANYWAY! 

Even if all you do is sign up, your membership will help lend weight to the letters & statements AABB sends out. As of fall 2025, AABB has nearly 5000 members. Check out the open letter to publishers on AABB’s socials & feel free to share it with your publishing & industry contacts. 

An Open Letter to Our Publishers- instagram.com/p/DCzYmKcR8uq
Maia: I’ve been facing intense challenges to my book since 2021. Knowing that I am not alone in the fight against censorship is what keeps my spirits up! 

Watching the folks in AABB share information, co-write legislation, show up to library & school board meetings, & speak up to publishers about the need to protect diverse books & minority authors has been amazing! 

This is a weird & scary time to be an author, but you are not alone! Join thousands of us fighting for the freedom to read, the freedom to write, the freedom to teach, the freedom to learn, & the freedom to share our stories!
-Maia Kobabe, 2025

#guolduart #dmgl #FangsOfFortune
black and white comic panel with five panels.
1- a streetview with a partial view of Li Lun
2- Li lun looking at person offscreen, "Don't you have something to say to me right now?"
3- Zhuo Yichen looking confused, a hand around his throat, "I- Who are you?"
4- zyc closing his eyes, same position but zoomed in. he thinks "i'm just so tired of fighting"
5- Li Lun, with a sarcastic expression, "Is that so? You don't remember me?"
6- a hand reaches forward, "So if I tell you" page 2, one full page black and white panel of Li Lun's large hand grabbing ZYC's chin, zyc grabbing his wrist in concern as LL leans over him/

Li Lun: "We were lovers, then what?"

The RIAA was suing teenagers. We had to sit through ⬇️ this shit anytime we wanted to watch a DVD. A whole generation shamed for using Limewire and torrents. Only for these silicone valley assholes to now find copyright infringement a necessary evil they shouldn’t have to answer for

My son (age 9) who we've been warning about genAI all along, but who has seemed a bit dubious, watched this video and came out ranting about how much he hates AI slop so maybe it'll help some of y'all convince unsure folks you know (Kurzegsagt is great in general). www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zfN...

d&d tarot commission🗡✧
#art #commission #illustration #tarot
Tarot card illustration of a drow holding a sword, its surface illuminated by eerie light. One finger is touching the sharp side, bleeding, while the hand holding the non-sharp hilt bleeds too. A crown floats above his head in the same glow as the sword.
