America in a nutshell.

“But Superman, stopping that country from invading another was politically fraught”

“THEY WERE GOING TO KILL PEOPLE!!!!”

James Gunn made a movie that says this: people worrying about politics are not the heroes. The people trying to stop mass murder are the heroes.

That’s that on that

That’s wonderful news!! Congrats!!

This cute pup is simply the best. #mollygirl

You can check out a book from the library and start reading without even sitting up.

Magic.

I just checked and the link is for 2024. Just fyi.

All of it…

A three-year-old brought me a bit of black paper. "Look", she said, "I found a piece of night!"

We're all born poets, but slowly we forget.

I’m the same way about Of Mice and Men. It always gets my students discussing a wide range of topics.

I enjoy revising and trying to crack a story. It’s so satisfying when things start clicking. #kidlitchat

Title: Choose your seat in the literary festival event tent. Image: lines of chairs set out in a tent, a stage at the front has two more chairs on it. The chairs are colour-coded and labelled 1. Awkwardly close 2. Too far away 3. Good view / can't hear 4. Good sound / can't see 5. In a cold draught 6. Behind a giant 7. Between a chatter and a shusher 8. Very creaky chair 9. Great seat / wrong event A single yellow chair is labelled: 10. Just right!

We saw every movie and read every book about robots and AI killing us and said “yes let’s make sure that happens to us for real.”

Hey y’all, I’m back in the query trenches again. Any #litagents that represent #picturebooks and/or #YA you’d recommend or any pitch events happening soon?

Omg, congrats!!!! Hope your kids feel better!

Be back eventually, y’all.

A poor, infirm, weak, and despis’d old man;

Not very long ago we believed we were the smartest generation in history, and it feels like overnight we just accepted that people are getting dumber and there’s nothing we can do about it. But it doesn’t have to be like this. We have to return reading to the center of culture.

We went from “what good are the humanities?” to “suddenly, no one can read” in about a year, and the answer to the first question is the disinformation and lack of critical thinking you see all around you. *That* is why you need the humanities. This is what they prevent.

Under the U.S Constitution, the President is very explicitly not a king. The President's wishes and decrees do not magically become law.
