While the gaps in voter accessibility have decreased over the years, disabled Americans still vote at much lower rates than Americans who don't have disabilities, @MaggieAstor reports for @nytpolitics: bit.ly/3JqMnWV

This disability essay by @SFdirewolf resonates deeply with me. My family was told that I wouldn't live beyond age 3. All my life, I've had a complicated relationship with mortality—it's often felt both near & far. I try to never take anything for granted. bit.ly/3vlxnWZ

Does anyone else have socially awkward days? If you’re my co-worker and we’ve interacted today, I am so sorry

Disabled people of ALL kinds belong in ALL genres of fiction. Because disabled people exist in the world. This is not a hot take and it’s not up for debate, it’s simply a fact.

My nephew is finally asleep, so I’m going to turn in for the night. I will continue to catch up with other comments and responses. Thank you @ETrainsWorld for hosting #MGBookChat! It’s always a pleasure to be part of these convos and meet other MG authors, educators & readers ❤️

A4: I think contemporary dialogue and light profanity in realistic fiction can enhance the readers’ experience and help them feel closer to characters, but I don’t think it’s necessary. #MGBookChat

A3: I think there’s a difference in language between MG and YA books, but it’s not so much the vocabulary as it is about voice, character thoughts & approach to complex topics. MG can absolutely tackle difficult subjects, but in a way that’s accessible for MG readers. #MGBookChat
