I’m thrilled to announce that my debut memoir, HOLY MOTHER!, will be published in fall 2027 by @chelseagreenbooks.bsky.social. If you love books about spiritual rabbit holes or cults, this is for you.

Endless thanks to my incredible agent @lmscovel.bsky.social, who made this dream a reality.

Can Progressive Mayors Redeem the Democratic Party? Zohran Mamdani isn’t the only candidate challenging the status quo—and having fun doing it.

“I know people who insist that when they first heard Barack Obama’s keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, in Boston, they knew he would one day be President,” billmckibben.bsky.social writes. Find out which progressive candidate gave him the same feeling.

The Next Thing You Smell Could Ruin Your Life Millions of people suffer debilitating reactions in the presence of certain scents and chemicals. One scientist has been struggling for decades to understand why—as she battles the condition herself.

After I was born, my mom went from being strong and active to bedridden when exposed to everyday chemicals. 35 years later, I set out to learn why—and found that the condition’s leading researcher had a fascinating story of her own. I profiled her for Wired: www.wired.com/story/multip...

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

Publishers Marketplace Deal Report. Category: Children’s Picture Books. July 2, 2025. Skylaar Amann’s EXPLODING WHALES IS NOT RECOMMENDED, based on the real-life event in Oregon in which a town facing the distressing problem of a dead whale on the beach decides the only way to properly handle it is by blowing it up—with woefully unforeseen consequences, to Kristin Allan’s at Norton Young Readers, for publication in winter 2027, by Lauren Scovel at Laura Gross Agency (world).

🐳🧨Book news! Instead of fireworks, the only thing I’ll be blowing up today is the whale I’m drawing in this book.

Huge thanks to my editor Kristin at Norton and my agent Lauren for believing in this silly book that is very much a real reflection of me. #sciart #marinelife #kidlit

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Young queer activists are fighting to rebuild the world. This book isn’t waiting to celebrate them. I had no idea so much was happening beyond my vision by a cadre of amazing young activists.
