HAPPENING NOW: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was just taken into custody while protesting outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention center

NEW: ALA salutes Dr Carla Hayden for her exceptional service to the nation as the Librarian of Congress. We are deeply disappointed in Dr Hayden's abrupt & unjust dismissal last night, an insult to the scope & breadth of her work. Read ALA Pres. Cindy Hohl's statement: www.ala.org/news/2025/05...

Conclave is done again All things go, all things go Pope from Chicago All things know, all things know

Okay but what if I got a full back tattoo of Mon Mothma??

It’s a good day to fight the Empire.

If you hear someone weeping in the Hall of Biodiversity at the AMNH, that’s just me having a mini breakdown because we are killing our one and only beautiful, miraculous planet

Feeling very spiritually aligned with this gif today

Important: There is a man on the subway with a toy dragon draped over his shoulder and there’s still a little magic in this world

My review of Sinners: - Let Ryan Coogler do whatever the hell he wants always and forever - Wunmi Mosaku is the most beautiful human being on the planet??? Transcendent.

After decades of dealing with migraines, I have come to a very important conclusion. I hope this advice reaches those in need: Don’t get migraines.

There are so many people earnestly doing good and beautiful things in this country—artists, teachers, scientists, public servants. Sometimes I feel like my heart is exploding to see all their efforts so carelessly dismantled and stripped for parts

Just putting it out there that I love pigeons and would love to acquire a picture book about them!

I don’t want to dignify anything that worm-brained quack says, but boy howdy he can fully fuck right off.

Disappearing humans without any form of due process is fascism and authoritarianism. Trafficking humans without any form of due process is fascism and authoritarianism. MAGA supports this. MAGA craves this. We are not going to change hearts and minds. We. Are. Not. Resist this regime.

Cool cool cool Mike Flanagan and Stephen King have got me tearing up over a dang trailer—I am fully seated and ready to get punched in the heart by The Life of Chuck!

It just makes so much sense for April to be Poetry Month—everything is blossoming

I think my favorite name for any business ever is Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts.

Look, I love every single book that I work on, but what Deva’s got coming up next is EXCEPTIONAL—I’d recommend it for every single kind of reader at any age. It’s brave, insightful, gorgeously imaginative, and utterly necessary ✨

This morning I'm working on line edits for The Delta Codex (my next MG book, coming in spring 2026) and feeling enormously grateful for my beloved MG editor @thejumbles.bsky.social who is wise, brave, insightful, and always pushes me to dig deep and make my stories the best they can be!

Every single person on this planet should be watching Adolescence. We have a severe male loneliness/incel epidemic and we need to figure this shit out.

Sundays are for editing and Tangerine Dream, and when I tell you that @devafagan.bsky.social has something delicious up her sleeve, boyyyyy howdy is it GOOD!!! Today’s vibes are immaculate ✨

This is so wonderful!! 😭💖🦇 #KidLitUK #AmaraAndTheBats @simonkids.bsky.social @simonkidsuk.bsky.social @thejumbles.bsky.social

Because my wholesome book about magical talking dogs has a non-binary protagonist, a local school will no longer be buying copies or inviting me for career day. If you'd like to try and offset this terrified complying in advance, buy one for you or a kid! bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

There you have it: Anything related to identity and sexual orientation. That's a bummer! I was looking forward to getting some middle schoolers copies of The Dog Knight. Go buy one for a middle schooler in your life, won't you?
