TLDR:
Diverse books are great and essential to the publishing eco-system.
Socially marginalised authors face more challenges than majority authors outside of creating the work, and deserve equal opportunities. Talent is random, systemic injustice is not.
Readers have spoken.

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

Though we strobed
That we came in peace,
He was already at war.
We have battled hard to be.
Nothing—
Nothing—
Can keep you safe.
Silence least of all.
Look alive, everyone.
May such a prayer,
A people,
A peace,
A promise,
Be ours.
Be right
& radiant
& real.

Whenever I feel guilty about buying another book, I like to remind myself that I just purchased 1-5 years of that person’s life for 26 dollars.

Another awesome way to support refugees, asylees & asylum-seekers: Support someone's new beginning by pledging your airline miles or credit card points (or donating $$): miles4migrants.org/donate @miles4migrants
I just pledged 30k of my @SouthwestAir miles!✈️🛩️
