If I ever get a tattoo it will be from that book. I love the tiger at the end in the Hawaiian shirt having found a socially acceptable way to be himself. โค๏ธ

Justice for Peter Brown! The Wild Robot is in the spotlight thanks to the movie but Mr Tiger Goes Wild is my all time favorite picture book.

Itโ€™s so baffling. Iโ€™m sharing from the post on Substack. I also canโ€™t figure out Substack drafts. Maybe I just need to do it all on my computer (which, ugh)

Substack is awesome as a consumer and Iโ€™m finding it maddening as a creator. Does this link work? #substack

Iโ€™m experimenting with Substack. I think Iโ€™d like to slow down and write more, talk less. Follow there if so inclined โค๏ธ

Coffee table covered in books, magazines, and toys.

This is what the living room of a reading family looks like. Always with the books, magazines, comics, comfort objects to fidget with while reading. Itโ€™s the best kind of mess ๐Ÿฅฐ (@louiestowell.bsky.social my 8 and 10 year old boys are re-reading Loki for the 10th(?) time! Eager for book 4!)

I loved this book as a child but it wasnโ€™t until reading it aloud to my kids within the last couple of years that I understood how deeply funny it is. True of so many of my childhood favorites!

Tell someone in your life what they mean to you today

Is there a #catsky? #catsofbluesky? #catpeople? Itโ€™s time for my family to get a pet and I want a bonded pair of kitties. Please talk to me about advancements in litter since I last had a furry friend (gasp!) 13 years ago. Litter robot? Fancy litter? Litter on my feet is my worst sensory nightmare.

Good idea to know the right of those more vulnerable than you, too. Iโ€™m not personally threatened by most of the awful stuff coming out way but I fully intend to be prepared to stand up for those who are.

Normalize english flick knitting! Can I do continental? Sure. But is it harder for me to keep perfection tension and does it break my brain a little with things like yarn overs? Absolutely. The cult of continental must be stopped!
