RT @AllyMalinenko: Listen friends - make your art. It is also resistance. Show people they are not alone.

RT @Billablog: Let's get one thing perfectly clear: Diversity programs do not exist to preference under-qualified people over white men.….

RT @levarburton: Happy Black History Month, y’all!.

It was exciting to see the frenzied bidding at the end of the Kidlit for Los Angeles auction, but we know it left a lot of people disappointed they were outbid. But you can still turn the disappointment of not getting the item you wanted into a rushing glow of endorphins. 🧵

#teachers and #librarians! A teacher had to cancel their World Read Aloud Day slot, so I have an opening for Tuesday, February 4th from 3:30pm - 3:50pm. Sign up here if you're interested: #wrad #kidlit #worldreadaloudday.

Uhhh. while I have a lot of cute-Kenzi-costume pics, I do NOT have that many. We might have to improvise! So it will take me a few days to help Kenzi fulfill her promise, but the wait will be worth it. Stay tuned!

A few days ago, Kenzi promised to provide video/pics of her adorable self wearing a costume for every $25 bid on me. The total for my two items was $575! Which means we need to provide 23 of them.😳😱

Thank you to everyone who donated, bid, and helped spread the word.💖💖💖. @Caro_Perry, @COffsay, @t_luebbe, and I are so grateful for how the kidlit community came together and so proud of what we accomplished in two exhilarating and exhausting weeks.

The Kidlit for Los Angeles auction was a HUGE success! In the final hours of frantic bidding, we smashed through our goal and raised $172,469!!! This will provide crucial aid to four wildfire relief causes and make a difference to those impacted by the ongoing emergency. 🧵

RT @AllyMalinenko: They want you beaten and broken. Remember joy is resistance too. Find yours.

WE DID IT! Thanks to your generosity smashed our fundraising target & we're incredibly grateful to everyone who donated, bid, shared, and supported. You showed up for LA, and we can’t thank you enough!. The Kidlit For Los Angeles team (Caroline, Charlotte, Tara and Jocelyn) ❤️

As you can tell from her sad, beseeching face, Kenzi is very ready for the @kidlitforla.bsky.social auction to end. Lucky for her, it ends at 11pm ET!. Hop over & bid: For every $25 bid on my items, Kenzi will share a video of her puppy-self in a costume.

Hey #uglydogs, I made this silliness to remind everyone @BlairBraverman and Leap are both signing their new book that's up for auction in the Kidlit for Los Angeles auction. Bidding ends at 11pm ET tonight, so let's bring that bleral energy to a bidding war to raise lots of $$$!

RT @maggieofthetown: Not now, Doomsday Clock.

And please, please share! Kenzi really wants to show off her costume cuteness. And even more importantly, we're raising as much money as we can for wildfire relief.💖🦄🐶.

And if you're an author looking for a way to grab attention on social media, go bid on my book cover animations: Or check out some of the other 430 items we have up for bid for all kinds of book lovers! 🧵

If you have kids in your life who could impress their friends by bringing in a guest author, then bid on my school visit (which comes with personalized copies of both BATTLE books): 🧵

My items still have low bids, so Kenzi has a solution! For every $25 my 2 items earn, she has given her approval to share a video of her in costume. I have a treasure trove of Kenzi costume pics I've been saving for a rainy day & the storm has arrived!.🧵
