And the right response to transphobes is *always* to uplift trans voices, as a reminder that we have always been here and we will always be here.
So here's another stack of recommendations of trans and nonbinary writers writing amazing, fantastical, magical stories for kids.

Librarians pressured to remove books by LGBTQ+ writers. Librarians harrassed at work for putting LGBTQ+ stories on their shelves. This is the UK-not Hungary, not USA. It's here and now. What can you do? Invite LGBTQ+ writers to your schools and libraries.

Danger: I see Ripper Street (one of the best TV shows of all time) (in places) is new to Netflix and the temptation to watch it a third time is… stronger than it should be in my post-Hannibal state of mourning.
Watched Hannibal. This was a terrible decision in so many ways, the worst of which is that I have now binged 3 seasons of Hannibal and now there is no more Hannibal.

Please sign my petition for every book to be named with the author’s name and a number after it instead of ever having to think of a title.
I know that I tend to find whatever I'm doing in that moment to be the hardest phase of writing but since I'm drawing now I feel I can be objective. The hardest (for me, YMMV) is 1) structural edits 2) coming up with titles 3) drafting (free but neurotic) 4) copy edits (that feels mechanical)

I just adore the way @saramegan.bsky.social writes, her voices are so strong. I often roll my eyes at YA romance but never in Sara's stories, it is *so* real & I was absolutely rooting for Ruby & Drew to have a happy ending without a clue how it could come about...& it was satisfying & perfect #UKYA

Like so many others, posting messages on here, I really liked Alex Wheatle. I liked him when I met him, but I liked even more the effect he had on the teens he spoke to - visiting a school after he’d been there was something special.
I am sad to hear that he’s died. I think he was brilliant.
