I write picture books and middle grade. I have one queer-themed upper middle grade book. I am openly gay. Many elementary schools will no longer invite me to visit. It’s too risky… because of one book and because of who I am. “Don’t let them erase us.” @malindalo #NBAwards

My daughter Francesca "Beans" Kaczynski passed from a childhood cancer on 12/24/2020. I am running the Boston Marathon for her legacy to benefit brain cancer research at Dana-Farber. Please support us by donating at TeamBeansMarathon.com or RTing to spread the word.

Protect trans kids. Respect the humanity of trans kids. There is no neutral.

Please join the Molly Steinsapir Foundation in donating to CARE for #InternationalWomensDay. Most Ukrainian refugees are women and kids. Molly was appalled by Putin, and I can hear her outrage now. She’d find a way to help #Ukraine. #PowerToTheGirls my.care.org/site/Donation2…

Today we celebrate 7 years cancer free 🙌🏾 #LeahStrong

One of a few drummers our drummer Anton Fig would leave his kit to watch work when Foo Fighters appeared on Late Show. A true R&R giant. This is a very sad day. RIP.

Happy Ketanji Brown Jackson Day 👸🏿

Can’t wait to read this book!

This fall students across the country in k-12 should consider taking a note from Greta Thunberg playbook and have walkouts every Friday until all kids and adults are safe in their schools and communities. I can’t call for this as I’m not in high school anymore but just an idea

Wait. They want us to focus on the school door being unlocked? So let me get this straight: They say it should have been much harder to enter the building, but won’t make it harder to buy the AR-15 he used to kill 19 kids and two teachers? Do you hear how insane that sounds?!

When you read the names of the victims during your speech before the NRA, the very organization that helped kill those children and teachers, you are desecrating not honoring them.

Brilliant idea!

Please tell others that take these. We expect to add more than 1k more meds over the next 12 months, if not sooner.

Librarians and archivists might save America yet.

We did it. We FREED ADNAN!

Amy Krouse Rosenthal's wish from TEXTBOOK. I have a reminder set for next week.

"Everyone deserves the opportunity to see themselves and their family reflected in the books in their library’s collection." It's as simple as that.
