One year ago --
Last picture I took of my sweet girl in our home. What I would give to go back to this exact moment.๐ I can’t wait to hug you again. Family and friends hug your babies extra tight for me. #JackieCazares#RememberTheirNames#LivesRobbed#TheBestTiaInTheWorld pic.twitter.com/f4Y7q0fGPX

The book banners --
Books about LGBTQ people are fast becoming the main target of a historic wave of school book challenges — and a large percentage of the complaints come from a minuscule number of hyperactive adults, a first-of-its-kind Washington Post analysis found. https://t.co/Atl7G5WKCX

So they ban my book from young readers, confuse me with @oprah , fail to specify what parts of my poetry they object to, refuse to read any reviews, and offer no alternatives…Unnecessary #bookbans like these are on the rise, and we must fight back ๐๐ฟ DONATE here:… pic.twitter.com/p96dlnrSp4
