While the ped0 in chief continues to inch us all towards WW3, this is a gentle reminder to take a moment, even a brief one, to unplug and find what brings you joy and hold onto that. You need to breath, reset, and keep yourself centered the best you can. Here's some of my joys right now ✨️

The book cover for the The Darkest Glass (a young girl wearing a deep purple Victorian gown, a slight mischievous look in her eyes, sits upon an engraved throne holding an intricately silver crown. Behind her, obscured by the throne and to the viewer, are two, pale monstrous hands with long black talons, its nails scratching into the stone).

Presidents' Day is a reminder that presidents are elected to serve the PEOPLE. Not unelected billionaires. Not giant corporations. Not special interests. Not their families. Not their ultra-wealthy friends. The people.

We have to do this differently this time around, and one of the ways I hope that we do that is by collectively understanding that people can care about two things at once (or even, gasp, MORE than two things) especially while people are out there banning books: TALK ABOUT BOOKS!

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

in this house we stand for inconvenient queers, trans people who don't give a shit about passing, angry Black women, undocumented immigrants who are tired of being polite to racists; mentally ill people on public transit; and everyone else you're too proper to stand on solidarity with.
