fuck yeah, congrats!!!!!!

ooh, dang, I don't know if The Glade is enough of a mystery to be the right fit for this, or I'd otherwise definitely snag this spot!!!

You should support trans authors for many reasons, but one is that trans authors are doing things with their stories that aren't being done in cis mainstream books, including taking old tropes & examining them in new, unique ways. So if you're bored with what the big 5 are constantly pushing...

OMG this is my FAVORITE predator movie by FAR, spouse and I will DEF have to go see it in theaters!!

Wishing desperately I lived on the East Coast to see you with one of my favorite people!

I was the first person at my library to put Queen Demon's audio on hold (I SMASHED that button as soon as it was available and have been very smug about it ever since) and thus am currently halfway through and I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS BOOK IS EVEN BETTER THAN WITCH KING??? Incredible!!

I think about the "Enhance..." bit from Sergeant Maaka at least once a week

Not sure what to say? We have training for that. Want to connect with other creators who're sick of this shit? We have the meeting place for that. Feel like you could help others do a better job interfacing with legislators? Hop on in.

From brand new to veteran we need everyone.

Do you find bigotry abhorrent? Then join us. Do you think public libraries should EXIST? Then join us. Do you hate censorship? Then join us.

We need volunteers, we need members, we need people to help us spread the word, we need your expertise and your passion.

We need you.

So far this fight has been on the backs of children's books creators, which makes sense. We were the canaries in the coal mine. But they're coming for romance. They've come for long form journalism. They're coming for lit fic and SFF and horror.

Because it's not about the books; it's about funding.

If you have been a contributor or an editor of an anthology we want you. You're a NYT bestseller who's been long listed for the Pulitzer, we want you. Your debut comes out nexy year, we want you. You're an academic, we want you.

This is an all for one one for all situation. Let's fight accordingly.

It's banned books week and so I'm legally obligated to bully you, a person who has ever had their name on a book, into joining @authorsabb.bsky.social.

Really want to encourage libraries - especially school libraries - to put no-AI content into your collection development policy. At the very least, if you have a clause in there about requiring accurate information, you can use that to weed out or prevent genAI purchases.

Thread!

Thread.

(The dead white dude focus of the titles shared by reading rainbow was a real disappointment, even if they did get a few women of color in there....they were all classics, not new titles needing real support right now).

Help please

PSA:

If reading wasn’t political, they wouldn’t be banning books.

Baker & Taylor appears to be shutting down. A post on the r/libraries subreddit from an employee of B&T breaks the news and there appear to be other employees in the comments confirming the situation.

Baker & Taylor folks, I am so, so sorry. This is terrible news.
