Thank you for saying this. The recent discussion/resolution left me feeling very unheard and I’ve been considering dropping my SRRT membership. SRRT has remained silent on so many things, and this resolution, combined with the violent anti semitism on the rise, especially in this country, made me feel ...

This is going to be my last post on this here. Too divided with all the discussions going on in the world, and my spoons are disappearing. I looked at the resolution again to see why it hit me the wrong way. I will be perfectly blunt with where I am coming from, I am Jewish, Anti-Netanyahu, Anti-Hamas, ...

They did apologize (kind of) and backtracked. The part that really bugged me was their dig at Maggie saying 'we wish she had showed us the post before going public' (not an exact quote). Well, maybe DON'T BE RACIST and you won't have to worry Also, pressure like this was posted on Twitter: Dr. ...

This is Maggie Tokuda-Hall’s blog post about Scholastic insisting she delete the word ‘racism’ and the paragraph talking about racism from her author’s note, or they would not feature her book in ironically an AANHPI narratives collection. But, heaven forbid she tell the full narrative. Angry at, and ...

Hey all!! I do a (cost and obligation free) Children’s/YA Newsletter. It used to be San Francisco Bay Area specific, but now, with so many virtual events, it’s not completely geographically limited (although I do still post physical Bay Area events). It’s been running for over 25 years, and has over ...
