Jen St. Jude ☄️ (is not really here anymore) The board of Hamilton East Public Library has made the news a lot this past yr.

Teens in the 📕 club made the choice but a blogger who doesn’t live in our community, nor is a parent of teens decided they shouldn’t read it & his ppl harassed the staff so much that the police are now involved.

I check twitter like once a week at this point, and only to make sure I’m not missing the chance to give love to the people who are being kind to me. This really sucks. I feel really fucked up about it. Let queer kids live. Please.

✨Pls RT: The #KidLit4Ceasefire auction is now LIVE!✨

Bid on over 325 items from amazing publishing creatives and professionals from signed books to mentorships from now until April 10th!

i know i'm a year late, but i just read this interview (chireviewofbooks.com/2023/05/09/lou…) with Jen St. Jude ☄️ (is not really here anymore) from last may and it reminded me how much IF TOMORROW DOESN'T COME means to me. that book rewired my brain. if you haven't checked it out...do so!

I have a surgery consultation date!!! details below, but TLDR: I won't be able to afford this on my own. 🏳️‍⚧️🫶

if you are able and willing to give, I’d be more grateful than I could ever express. if you aren’t, that’s okay! I simply ask for help sharing!
