There’s a YA queer short story collection called “All Out.” I was looking for stories to teach & found “Molly’s Lips,” by @missdahlelama.dahliaadler.com about two girls after Kurt Cobain’s death, same age I was then. Read it and went, OHHH! Now it all makes sense! Whole new perspective on life.

Periodic reminder, educators, that if you're looking for a supplement or aid for lessons on Poe, Shakespeare, and/or Fairy Tales, I've edited excellent anthologies on those subjects with stories from fantastic YA authors!

I'm on a weirdly good TV run. Loved Ride or Die. Loved Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed as a followup. Currently enjoying Your Friends and Neighbors and Sterling Point, though the latter is really making me miss writing YA for the first time in a long time. And my trashy fave The Challenge is back.
