Hello! I haven’t posted in awhile, but life update: I’m working on my thesis/capstone project for a master’s in publishing! As my topic (LGBTQ YA) doesn’t have a lot of concrete data on it, I’m trying to collect my own. I’ve gotten a lot of responses so far thanks in part to my super awesome friends (if you’re reading this, hi, guys!), but I could always use more! It takes five minutes to fill out, and every response is helpful, even if you don’t read a lot or hate YA or just don’t really care about the topic at all. I’d really appreciate if you filled this out, or at least shared it around. I just checked on some of the data and I’m falling a little short on responses from teens, so if you’re a teenager or if you can help signal boost to some I would love you forever; teens are a super important demographic to this project!

Book Aesthetic: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling
“Harry Potter rolled over inside his blankets without waking up. One small hand closed on the letter beside him and he slept on, not knowing he was special, not knowing he was famous, not knowing he would be woken in a few hours’ time by Mrs. Dursley’s scream as she opened the front door to put out the milk bottles, nor that he would spend the next few weeks being prodded and pinched by his cousin Dudley…He couldn’t know that at this very moment, people meeting in secret all over the country were holding up their glasses and saying in hushed voices: ‘To Harry Potter - the boy who lived!’”

Honestly seeing old photos in color makes the past so much more tangible.

The rest of us have one job, tear these things apart. You get hurt, hurt them back. You get killed, walk it off.

Tell that to my great great uncle, who is the reason that it’s illegal to drive a tractor while drunk in the state of Kansas.
