Lillie Lainoff

SO MANY but some authors who inspire me to write more about chronic pain recently are @nataliasylv.bsky.social, @chatgreenfield.bsky.social, @marissaeller.bsky.social, and Sam Irby.

There are also a bunch in These Bodies Ain't Broken, including @lillielainoff.bsky.social & @kaylaancrum.bsky.social.

Today's Supreme Court decision, though couched in the language of freedom and inclusivity, is a tragic failure for both the right to read and the rights of LGBTQIA+ people. Authors Against Book Bans stands firmly and fiercely against the decision and its rationale. To allow parents to "object" to the presence of positive books about the lives and rights of LGBTQIA+ people is to allow them to "object" to the existence of LGBTQIA+ students, parents, educators, and others in the wider community. You cannot “opt out” of reality, no matter what today’s majority opinion states. These books belong on shelves and these stories belong in classrooms and curricula.

Also: AMBER GLENN TRIPLE AXEL IN PERSON!!!

Can't believe how lucky I am to have watched Alysa Liu win the World Championships in person 🥹 Best early birthday present EVER

This might be a long shot, but does anyone have recs for nonfiction about the history of high school debate in the United States? Specifically in the late 1940s and early/mid 1950s?
Ideally focused on the Midwest and public school programs, but I'd also be happy with a few chapters of a larger book!

My Cool Friend Michelle Other kids called Trachtenberg a bitch, but in our group of child stars, we all wanted to be like her.

I wrote about my kind, funny childhood friend Michelle Trachtenberg, and the group of friends that saved my life when I was a kid.
