Hi #kidlit community. My school librarian is asking me for a list of new books for her to order. She has to turn it in by Sept. 1. Give me your best suggestions! Shameless promotions welcome! This library services kids in K-4th grade.

I looked out the window to check out a sound and so many black things on a roof my mind went "not human‼️" but it's actually a gaggle of roofers all dressed in black surrounded by black shingles so heart attack averted

The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we've picked up actual sound. Here it's amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole!

There’s a lot of misinformation, but here are the facts: 1. #BarnesAndNoble is refusing to stock most authors on shelves 2. It disproportionately affects marginalized authors, debuts, & MG 🧵of confirmation from authors (including bestsellers), agents, editors, & booksellers

Don’t neglect your local libraries! Request the books you want them to carry! Libraries are how so many discover new authors and library orders go towards earning out! More requests = more demand = the more copies they carry! You don’t need to spend money to support authors :)

I don't understand

's strategy here. Their proposed customer experience now is to enter the store and only find a limited selection of the same books over and over, the books I've heard of and probably already ordered online. Browsing is the POINT of a physical store.

I know the #writingcommunity has long debated what fonts are best and there was anecdotal evidence that fonts like comic sans are dumb but actually easier to read. Well I found this in one of my science magazines.

The #BarnesAndNoble US-wide policy of stocking 1-2 top books per publisher might affect marginalized debut authors, so here are a few titles (I'm looking forward to) from diverse debut authors. I'll keep updating this #booktwt thread. Suggestions/additions welcome. 1/n

How realistic are the post-Roe abortion workarounds that are filling social media?

Now that states can ban abortion after the overturning of Roe v. Wade, experts comment on whether the post-Roe abortion workarounds that have flooded social media are realistic.

Seeing these stories about B&N from authors, especially marginalized ones, is absolutely heartbreaking. Here’s how you can support them: - order from ANY indie (

@Bookshop_Org

is great for this if you don’t have a local indie near you) - PRE-ORDER - these #’s are what B&N looks at

Barnes & Noble is withholding initial support of debut hardcovers til they find evidence it's worth stocking in their stores. They'll be focusing on guaranteed sales from paperbacks. A middle finger to debut authors esp if they're midlist & marginalized. Get mad, y'all. 1/?

I’m not sure that calling this “wild” conveys how egregious and fraudulent this is. An eviction hearing was rescheduled for the time when a mother was in the hospital giving birth. Notice was not given to the mother, and a default judgment was granted when she did not appear.

Does anyone have recommendations for short horror pieces (shorter the better, including poetry) by queer writers, especially keen for works by trans writers, disabled writers, writers of colour, & those occupying the margins. Available online a necessity. Film shorts good too.

You don’t have to wait until someone comes out to you as asexual to be mindful that there may at any time be an asexual person in the room, and that aces are by default human beings worthy of respect. Inclusive language matters.
