aaaaand we’ve broken the record for our annual St. Jude fundraiser.
Thank you.
Growing up, I had three sisters. One of them was a quiet child, often angry or sullen and sometimes cruel.
One day that person went away.
And then I had a brother.
He was cheerful and warm, finally comfortable in a body he'd wanted his entire life.
Conservatives want to eradicate my brother. I'm here to say that's not going to happen.
This is also why Black people get so upset when the police shoot someone and say "He was armed! His gun was found at the scene!"
Being armed is not supposed to be a crime in this gun obsessed country. If being stopped by police while armed got you shot, then white men would be shot at the highest rate. But that's not what we see. We see the opposite.
The second amendment is not a real right, because of the way our system of justice selectively enforces it. It's the *white* to bear arms.
It started as a quick email about why I wasn't going to write something about New College.
My almost 13 year old daughter had a good idea. We’ve been talking about doing a podcast together - mostly for us to have.
Her idea was reviewing books that are being taken out of school libraries - discussing the content, reviewing the actual literature but also the reasons it was banned and our thoughts there as well.
This is something I think that we will do, soon.
COVER REVEAL! Look at this amazing design (by the fantastic David Wardle) for my new book THE DOG SITTER DETECTIVE, coming in May 2023 😍

(PS Nothing bad happens to the dogs!)

This is of course exactly what amazon’s famed customer algorithm is supposed to do. Instead it asks if I want to buy another of something I already bought, and recommends my own books to me 🤪
Wishing there was a button for: "I intend to read the whole series. Please send me each as it is published." I would 100% do this for Tamsyn Muir's Locked Tomb series Shelley Parker Chan's SWBTS books Rebecca Roanhorse's b/w Earth & Sky series @marthawells Murderbot series Nghi Vo's Singing Hills series anything @aliettedb writes in the Xuya universe I just want to tell the publisher - I am in it for the long haul. I will ride this train to the last station. They got me hook, line, and sinker.
