If you're seeing Pride censorship in U.S. libraries–whether it's from inside the library or from pressure outside–please report it for the annual roundup. You can be anonymous. There are already *several* this year. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

If a reviewer uses the word chapeau, you know you’re in good hands. I LOVE this fantastic review from Kirkus! Link or full review follows: www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

Happy #bookbirthday to @vickijohnsonwrites.bsky.social's MAC WEARS A HAT! I'm looking forward to reading this one!

It’s Indie Bookstore Day! Authors ask their followers to “support your local indie” b/c they support us. I will never forget the kindnesses and support I received from hardworking booksellers during my debut year. Stop by an indie today! @peoplesbooktakoma.com #CuriousIguana #Wordplay #CityofAsylum

Call (202) 224-3121. Ask to be connected to your representative’s office. Tell them to count you as a “NO” ON H.R 7661, the horrible Federal book ban bill. 📚 That’s it! You’ll probably talk to an intern or volunteer who is taking a tally. Your vote counts. ✊🏻

It’s officially ONE WEEK until MAC arrives. And ✨SURPRISE✨Molly and Mac go to the same school!🏫 I love this adorable artwork by #GillianReid. There’s still time to preorder a copy of #MacWearsAHat from your favorite bookstore. Thanks for all your support. ❤️🎩📚

(202) 224-3121 Today, please call the US Capitol switchboard and ask for your representative. Then tell your rep that you oppose H.R. 7661, the Federal book banning bill. It’s that simple. This is an all-hands-on-deck timeline. Thank you.

I love this bookseller review, and I love this illustration by #GillianReid! (I think it’s my favorite.) 10 more days to preorder. I appreciate your support more than you know. 🎩 🔗: highfivebooks.org/collections/... #littlebeebooks #MacWearsaHat

Today is a good day to revisit my #SLJ interview, where I talk about the historical significance of Pride. Today the Pride flag is heading back to Stonewall, per a Fed settlement agmt. Symbols of our hard-won rights matter. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ 🔗 afuse8production.slj.com/2025/06/01/c...

More good news! Thank you @slj.com for a nice review of my next picture book with illustrator #GillianReid, Mac Wears a Hat, out soon on April 28th. #littlebeebooks

I’m super excited to be a part of this year’s week-long celebration of children’s literature, Mass Kids Lit Fest, May 3-9th! Love this poster by #tompappalardo of Standard Design. Full calendar of events: www.makidslitfest.org

See you out there! #nokings

My dear friend Mey Rude lost her job at Out in a round of mass layoffs and is looking for work! She is one of the smartest and most incisive people I know, with an encyclopedic knowledge of (especially queer) pop culture and the hottest movie takes around. Please reach out if you have leads!

The next No Kings protest will mark the largest collective exercise of free speech in American history -- an undeniable indicator that Americans of all backgrounds support democracy and the Constitution. (1/3)

We have some super fun events for MAC coming up this Spring, including joint appearances with Gillian Reid! More details to come. Interested in hosting a reading at your school, bookstore, or library? Plz reach out thru the contact page on my website. 🎩

"These bills aren’t about removing books; books are just one of the tools. These bills are about the complete and total erasure and removal of queer people from American life."

House Republicans have just introduced a bill that would result in a NATIONWIDE book ban. Oh, the bill is also specifically transphobic. Contact your House Rep and ask them to publicly oppose this legislation. A few more thoughts in the thread about this action. bookriot.com/hr7661-book-...

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

A nationwide book ban bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives. Here's what you need to know about HR7661, including who is behind it, the history behind such bills, and what you need to do to stop it. bookriot.com/hr7661-book-...

A Nationwide Book Ban Bill Has Been Introduced in the House of Representatives

Hours after the State of the Union address, House republicans introduced legislation banning LGBTQ+ books from public schools nationwide.

I’ll add to the unfortunate conversation about the Pride flag being removed from our historical site at Stonewall. You can’t erase us because we are woven into this country’s history, and we’re not going anywhere. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Love this, Catarina! I’m in awe of artists and I love seeing all the unique character designs. # dtiysmac on IG ❤️📚🎩

When "Molly's Tuxedo" (by @vickijohnsonwrites.bsky.social and Gillian Reid) came out, they made a really fun #DTIYS challenge. And now they have another awesome picture book called "MAC WEARS A HAT"! I couldn't resist their new challenge. Check Gillian's IG (gillianimation), but here's "my" Mac 🤩

We’re in great company, wow! Thanks for the feature, #growingbookbybook. 🎩 🔗: growingbookbybook.com/books-to-enj... Be prepared for hat day at school by preordering a copy of #MacWearsAHat, everywhere books are sold! ❤️📚 #littlebeebooks #GillianReid
