This How To Be An Artist poster by SARK is one of my very favorites from her.
It is so playful, creative, affirming, and joyful, a reminder to keep being playful and curious and open. I think SARK has a lot of wisdom and her books and prints can be very helpful for all of us, especially creatives, sensitive people, and people who are playful. I’m posting this for @elizabeth_sagan because she asked what that post positive affirmation poster behind me is, that is so often in my photos. (grinning)

I just got the sweetest #bookish gift from reader & friend Lynn Postlewait
this T that says: Between The Pages of a Book Is a Lovely Place To Be! I heartily agree. I love bookish & #writerly things! It was such good timing, too. Yesterday I had a really rough day, harder than I’ve had in a while, severe depression and despair that periodically comes up from trauma and exhaustion and worry. Today’s been better but I’m still struggling with depression. But tonight I am going to celebrate with two neighbors on my getting a literary agent who I’m really excited about (who is also excited about me and my work), and this bookish t-shirt is perfect for that. It also helps lift my spirits. We all need to know that we are cared about. I hope you know that you are. And we all need to know that things will get better. Sometimes we just need little reminders of that. Today this is mine. #friendsarefamily #bookshirt #readershirt #writershirt #bookishgifts #readergifts #writergifts #cherylrainfield #YAwriter #LGBTQwriter #booknerd #bookworm #ireadYA #survivor #feminist

Petal loves when Corey Doran, our postal worker, delivers the mail
Instagram filter used: Normal
because whenever Corey can she takes a moment to rub Petal’s head and say hi to her. Petal loves Corey so much she now whimpers when she sees her until Corey pats her, and leans her head right back, almost upside down, to keep getting patted! Corey is thoughtful and kind. I’m so glad she is our mail carrier.

The top books challenged in 2018 were targeted especially for #LGBTQIA content & dealing with painful issues such as teen suicide. (sighing)
The top challenged books include GEORGE by Alex Gino (transgender); A DAY IN THE LIFE OF MARLON BUNDO by Jill Twiss (LGBTQIA); THE HATE U GIVE by Angie Thomas (anti-cop, profanity, drug use – but I think the real reason is racism); THIRTEEN REASONS WHY by Jay Asher (teen suicide), THE ABSOLUTELY TRUE DIARY OF A PART-TIME INDIAN by Sherman Alexie; DRAMA by Raina Telgemeir (LGBTQIA); THIS DAY IN JUNE by Gayle E Pitman (LGBTQIA); TWO BOYS KISSING by David Levithan (LGBTQIA).
As always – don’t like a book? Don’t read it. But don’t prevent others who may need it, who might heal from it, from reading it. Article from SLJ: https://bit.ly/2GaoK4N
