We are getting reports of HUNDREDS of dogs being turned into shelters because of the fires. We never needed fosters & adopters more than now. If you can foster or adopt in the LA area, please DM me. If you don't live in LA, please share this post. You never know who will see it.

PSA: If you know anyone displaced by the LA fires and in need of food, have them reach out to the amazing volunteers at the, Our Big Kitchen Los Angeles, a Kosher food pantry created by LA's Jewish community.

Please Pay Attention by #JamieSumner @SimonBooks really hit close to home. Both of my kids are in the same building as me and I can’t fathom us dealing with the trauma of a school shooting. Sadly it’s a reality in our country. TY @jamiesumner_! 🫶🏼#BookPosse

Great review for #RiseOfTheSpider from @sljournal "An accessible introduction to social and political events in Germany during the time leading up to World War II" Also, calls the book 'appealing and accessible to reluctant readers!' #kidlit #reading #mglit #middlegrade

I've donated a partial manuscript critique and a signed copy of Ruth First Never Backed Down to raise money for Artists Against Antisemitism. Lots of cool items on here like lunch with Henry Winkler and tix to Jimmy Fallon so check them out! event.auctria.com/8801e3af-8…

I'm crying as I post this. Students and families in Los Angeles helped pack food boxes of canned goods and dried snacks for local families in need. After reading AND THEN, BOOM! during the @globalreadaloud, students wanted to do their part to help combat hunger. ❤️❤️❤️

As we remember the 86th Anniversary of Kristallnacht, we in America must summon the moral courage to stand up, speak out, and act against antisemitism with fierce urgency of now.
If antisemitism is allowed to fester freely, aided by the silence and cowardice of a complacent center, the nightmare of pogroms and Kristallnachts in America will become not a question of ‘if’ but a question of ‘when.’ Amsterdam should be an awakening for America.
