The three Sparkle Pigs chapter books fanned out so that the top one is visible - it's called Carrot Chaos and shows two cartoon, costumed guinea pigs having a grand old time. Words are by me (writing as Kit Holliday), and the art is by Dizzy Devil Designs.

Frog tries to spur Toad into cleaning his house, kinda in a passive-aggressive way if you ask me. Toad hides under the covers. From "Tomorrow" In *Days with Frog and Toad*

“Toad,” said Frog, “your pants and jacket are lying on the floor.”

“Tomorrow,” said Toad from under the covers.

😅 It is a lot, but better to be too busy than not busy enough!

"stet all jokes"

Wrapped up edits on a book and am working on a series bible for a secret thing! (This has involved much coffee.)

14 ON MORRISON At the same time, both writers willfully, sometimes irrepressibly, penned rather difficult prose. I'm a full professor of English with tenure at Harvard University, and I'm not ashamed to admit that it took me at least three readings to comprehend Beloved at even a basic level. There are passages in Morrison's works that no reader I've ever met understands on the first go. But this literary difficulty was neither aesthetically coy nor glibly aspirational. It was an ethos. Morrison's insistence on making us puzzle things out was an attempt to effect, she said, an "egalitarianism that places us all (reader, the novel's population, the narrator's voice) on the same footing." This democratic orientation to the work doesn't pander. Morrison doesn't condescend to your level; she challenges you to rise to hers. "My writing expects, demands participatory reading," she said. "My language has to have holes and spaces so that the reader can come into it." In other words, this ambiguity has a purpose. The point is that we cannot know, we cannot judge-and sometimes the point is that there are ways of doing both that allow contradictions to coexist. Morrison believed that literary form could instantiate philosophical ideas of this kind. As she said of William Faulkner: "The structure is the argument." As she wrote of Mark Twain: "The brilliance of Huckleberry Finn is that it is the argument it raises."

Sound the productive ambiguity klaxons

My photo shows a Roman Rippenschale (ribbed) blue glass drinking cup with a rounded body and slightly flaring rim. There is some breakage to the rim. The ribs run vertically around the body of the cup, with horizontal bands of white trail decoration around the cup. At the rear of the museum display case, part of a larger ribbed dark blue glass bowl can be seen.

Animation series bible up next!

Congrats! D&A is a great milestone to celebrate!

One cool thing: the kids were really into the idea of zines (once I explained what those were, haha). I think a zine workshop - or anything similarly analogue and DIY - would be really popular!

Was a bit nervous that I'd get some hate, tbh, but the kids were really engaged and the teachers loved that someone with a career in the arts was saying the same stuff they had been.
