“When some cultural critics fret about the ‘ever-more-appalling’ YA books, they aren’t trying to protect African-American teens forced to walk through metal detectors on their way into school. Or Mexican-American teens enduring the culturally schizophrenic life of being American citizens and the children of illegal immigrants. Or Native American teens growing up on Third World reservations. Or poor white kids trying to survive the meth-hazed trailer parks. They aren’t trying to protect the poor from poverty. Or victims from rapists.

No, they are simply trying to protect their privileged notions of what literature is and should be. They are trying to protect privileged children. Or the seemingly privileged…

As a child, I read because books–violent and not, blasphemous and not, terrifying and not–were the most loving and trustworthy things in my life. I read widely, and loved plenty of the classics so, yes, I recognized the domestic terrors faced by Louisa May Alcott’s March sisters. But I became the kid chased by werewolves, vampires, and evil clowns in Stephen King’s books. I read books about monsters and monstrous things, often written with monstrous language, because they taught me how to battle the real monsters in my life.

And now I write books for teenagers because I vividly remember what it felt like to be a teen facing everyday and epic dangers. I don’t write to protect them. It’s far too late for that. I write to give them weapons–in the form of words and ideas-that will help them fight their monsters. I write in blood because I remember what it felt like to bleed.

If I ever see any of you in public, the code is “I like your shoelaces”
that way we know we’re from tumblr without revealing anything

I’m just going to say this to strangers until i find a tumblr person

must keep reblogering!! Im going to be so suspicious if any one tells me this now!

Remember the answer is: I stole them from the president.

I just finished making a Roxy Lalonde scarf

it’s like 8 feet long

and now I’ve wrapped it around my neck and am running around the house with it flying along behind me in the wind

I feel fabulous.

Hey. Hey. Guess who.

Satan.

You are most definitely Satan.

Only Satan leaves these messages for me.

He lurks on my dash, stalking my many blogs but never hitting the reblog button

Never once taking the time to hit that little heart in the corner that means that you like it or favorite it or whatever it means. Not like Satan would know because he never hits it. NEVER.

He has my blog added to his bookmarks on his outdated Internet Explorer browser but doesn’t take the time to follow it.

And then

AND THEN

He leaves these little anonymous asks

and I spend half a second looking at it before I say to myself,

“Oh god, not you again.”

Or you are my girlfriend, who does this constantly.

Take your pick.
