“It isn’t that I’m more afraid of public speaking than death; it is that public speaking feels like it could cause my death. But I do it every month because I am a high school librarian in the state of Texas in times such as these.” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This was my first AWP panel of the week and it set the bar. 🙌🏼
This piece in @chicagorevbooks.bsky.social by @kathleenmrooney.bsky.social (first delivered at an AWP panel) literally gave me chills. I wanted to stand and cheer and high-five every person doing the hard work of thinking about books in the right ways.

Sure why not buddy.
