50 Great Board Books for Babies

Humbled and honored to find my book You Are My Cupcake on the NYT list of 50 Great Board Books for Babies (at the very top! 🀯). Surreal to see my name with the classics I’ve loved forever. Grateful today for the reminder that love and connection endure. ❀️ #kidlit #kidlitart

Why I Had to Flee the United States I was a political prisoner in Egypt. I didn’t want to become one again in America.

Today in @thenation.com: After 3 yrs of carving a home in U.S. exile, I fled again fearing an ICE arrest. The risk wasn’t just deportation, but life in prison back in Egypt.

What myths does the US empire uphold about itself? When does fascism stop "descending"?

Same. I didn't know about all of the tracking in Your Offline Activity. Here's how to delete & deactivate it. In Facebook:
1) Settings & Privacy > Settings
2) On the left (at least on desktop) scroll down to Your Information > Off-Facebook Activity
3) Click Continue, log in to Accounts Center

A screenshot of PayPal's terms of service. Big wall of legalese text, which I will be pasting in below. You don't need to read it, here's the important part: 

"The key update to the Privacy Statement explains how we will share information with merchants to personalize your shopping experience and recommend our services to you. Personal information we disclose includes, for example, products, preferences, sizes, and styles we think you’ll like. Information gathered about you after the effective date of our updated Privacy Statement, November 27, 2024, will be shared with participating stores where you shop."


Here's the whole paragraph: 

We are updating our Privacy Statement to explain how, starting early Summer 2025, we will share information to help improve your shopping experience and make it more personalized for you. The key update to the Privacy Statement explains how we will share information with merchants to personalize your shopping experience and recommend our services to you. Personal information we disclose includes, for example, products, preferences, sizes, and styles we think you’ll like. Information gathered about you after the effective date of our updated Privacy Statement, November 27, 2024, will be shared with participating stores where you shop, unless you live in California, North Dakota, or Vermont. For PayPal customers in California, North Dakota, or Vermont, we’ll only share your information with those merchants if you tell us to do so. No matter where you live, you’ll always be able to exercise your right to opt out of this data sharing by updating your preference settings in your account under β€œData and Privacy.”

In 2025 (less than 30 days away), PayPal will start selling your transaction history for targeted advertising.

I very highly recommend logging into your account and going to Settings > Data & Privacy > Personalized Shopping.

If you're reading this, turn that off RIGHT NOW before you forget.
