Perhaps for a moment you'd been expecting my kid made a biography about her mother. I know her too well to have expected that. But still, I was not expecting Shannon nail.

I asked her where she got that old photo of me. "The internet, duh."
I'm hoping for a sequel.
She also had back cover copy

My heart is breaking. The hatred and fear mongering continues. Itty-Bitty Kitty-Corn has been quietly pulled from libraries and book fairs all over the country for "encouraging children to be who they are." Of all things. And now this.
I truly never, ever imagined that this book would be controversial, let alone my most controversial book out of 43! It's been accused of being "secret trans agenda" because it teaches kids to "be who they are." I am mystified.
If we are to the point where "tell kids to be true to who they are" is dangerous literary material, there is NO safe topic. No book, no "message" is going to pass muster. All stories--all exercises in empathy--are verboten.

Absolutely a dream come true spending a week in Prince Edward Island and walking the forest paths and cozy farm houses where LM Montgomery and her characters abided. Lucy Maud was prolific and one of the most famous and beloved Canadian authors but died...
...in desperate need of a nurse to help care for her husband as well as herself and unable to afford it. In her last letter she wrote something like "fame is not money." A sad reminder that our culture still has a problem supporting the arts--especially of women.
The landscape of PEI is absolutely breathtaking, and I soaked in deeply into my bones. I find a kindred spirit in the land.

This is another 1-star review for THE PRINCESS IN BLACK AND THE PRINCE IN PINK. I want to respond to this criticism directly. Let's get into the misogyny this mother doesn't realize she's passing onto her children. 1/ Image
"Why does this series need an effeminate boy character?" effeminate: "having characteristics and ways of behaving traditionally associated with women" So the criticism of the Prince in Pink is he portrays feminine characteristics. 2/
Why is that a crime exactly? Derrida argued that humans have a tendency to create binary opposites and invariably put those binary opposites into a hierarchy. So we decided different human expressions into feminine and masculine and the identify masculine as superior. 3/

Brief thread on how the MCU is treating female characters, while also noting that I adore the MCU, major fan, watch and rewatch all the series and movies.
When I note the paucity of female characters in films, I’m often told “we should let the story happen NATURALLY.” 1/
But here’s what I want to emphasize: The lack of female representation isn’t natural. These are choices.

In the past year, Marvel movies killed off three major heroes. They were all women. In a movie world with so few women, that’s notable. 2/
Infinity War/Endgame killed off two major female heroes, and one was the only original female Avenger. These are choices.

MCU movies starring men before the 1st starring a woman: 20
MCU movies directed by men before the 1st co-directed by a woman: 20
These are choices. 3/

Since there's nothing else to think about today...Happy book birthday to DIANA & NUBIA, PRINCESSES OF THE AMAZONS by me, @Halespawn, and @victoriaying! This is a standalone adventure from @DCComicsKids. Image
Nubia is a 11yo princess and the only child on Themyscira. It's pretty great growing up with a bunch of immortal warriors as your aunties! But it can also be lonely with no other kids around. Image
So it's pretty shocking when she wakes up on the morning of Solstice Eve and discovers another kid in her bedroom! But instead of freaking out, all the adults seem to think Nubia and Diana are twins and have always been together. Image

Re: book banning, a description of sex does not automatically make a book pornography. And it doesn't mean it's inappropriate for a school library. Can we talk about this? Please add your own thoughts or links to articles. 1/
So many of the books challenged in schools and libraries are flagged for descriptions of sex. Why would authors who write for teens include such scenes? What purpose does it serve?
For me, the main factor is this: in a culture where discussion of sex is taboo, predators flourish. I think that's counterintuitive for many parents who would assume any discussion of sex is encouraging sexual behavior.
