I had a hard time letting go of my decade+ Twitter posts (nostalgia?) so I used blueark to move them here (thanks to @janefriedman.com 's Electric Speed newsletter!) It cost $5.00 and the only hitch was that apparently, all the posts got dated yesterday? Sorry if I accidentally flooded your feed!!!

Statement from Authors and Illustrators on Scholastic Book Fairs' Policy of Separating and Excluding...
Authors, if you think Scholastic's "separate but equal" book fair plan is, perhaps, a BAD idea, please consider signing this open letter to them about it:

Thank you to Tegan Beese for showing precisely how dishonest and cowardly Scholastic is being, both with their decision to segregated the books, and their statements justifying that segregation www.instagram.com/reel/CxvzRC-...

If you're coming to #Maine for leaf-peeping (you should!) be sure to stop by Brunswick to see the Robert McCloskey exhibit at the public library (ends Oct 29). I love seeing the sketches and process behind final art!
