Loved this panel . . . and I think Katey Howes would've been so happy with the way the talented librarians in the audience read from her books THE REINDEER REMAINDERS, RISSY NO KISSIES, WOVEN OF THE WORLD, A POEM GROWS INSIDE YOU, and BE A MAKER! #ALA2024

Instead of giving TERFs a platform, please instead uplift trans folks who are being buffeted by these opinions every day, constantly. Sooo hey I'm Elliott! I'm a trans man, an illustrator, & currently open for publishing projects! ☀️ elliottgrinnell.com ☀️

Hey @SHEIN_Official, why are you stealing @boygirlparty's original artwork? Is #fastfashion moving a little too fast for you?

Abolish the filibuster. Codify Roe. Expand the Supreme Court. Protect abortion rights by any means necessary. We need all of the above. This is an emergency.

As we’ve warned, SCOTUS isn’t just coming for abortion - they’re coming for the right to privacy Roe rests on, which includes gay marriage + civil rights. Manchin is blocking Congress codifying Roe. House has seemingly forgotten about Clarence Thomas. These 2 points must change

The Brooklyn Public Library has announced that any teenager in America is now eligible for a Brooklyn Public Library card. Teens can sign out ebooks + audiobooks from wherever they live. The move is designed to combat censorship, with some titles listed as "always available."

Sometimes bravery looks like civilians standing up to an invading army. Sometimes It looks like a dad in Alabama who loves his kid and chooses to tell his story so others will know they are not alone. motherjones.com/politics/202…
