After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

Wild 😳

Things that get scheduled get done. I got off track with the book I’m making. Too many distractions. I’ve officially made a schedule for myself. Time to practice self discipline.

Just started watching season 2 of Mo on Netflix. It’s so good. The story telling and Houston based comedy makes me miss my old city. Highly recommend. Such a great job telling this story. ❤️ #moseaaon2 #houston

Someone had to hit a button to make this happen. Related: tonight in my critical issues course we’ll be discussing ethics and asking the question: are communication designers responsible for their client’s actions?

My household did not watch the Super Bowl. We usually do. This time my son was fussy and struggling, my husband wasn’t feeling well, and frankly, we just didn’t give a damn. Not this year. All I was interested in was the halftime show and I knew I could watch that later.

Holy cow. I just tried out the beta @flashes.blue and WOWOWOWOWOW. Looks/feels so much like Instagram except better (because it's Bluesky 💙🦋). Wowza. techcrunch.com/2025/01/15/b...

Thank you Nat’l Lawyers Guild for letting me know every single app on my IPhone had Apple AI learning from it. Here’s how to turn it off 1. Go to settings 2. Go to Apps 3. Go down your list of apps individually and select Siri/Apple Intelligence 4. Deselect “learn from this app”

Reflection is Powerful. It will lead you to your purpose. 🪞

There are no bad dog breeds. (I said breeds, we're allowed one ~ Chihuahua) #dogs #chihuahua

Sometimes resistance is simply continuing to do the work that you were already doing which aligns with your values.

I LOVE all of these!! ✨So creative and beautifully made! @scbwi.bsky.social #scbwiny25

Today is my 40th birthday and I get to spend it doing what I love. I got to hear from an inspiring author, attended a great session, and met some wonderful people! I hope they don’t forget to make their bluesky accounts! Now, this preggo is going to take a nap. I’m exhausted. 🥱#scbwiny25

Erin Entrada Kelly’s key note speech really hit home. 🥹 She spoke about being brave and reasons we choose to write for children. The ones that stood out for me were healing and rewriting those challenging moments we once experienced. ❤️👏👏

It’s so cold and windy in NY. My face is chapped. Rosacea in full display. Not used to this! Yet, I feel so joyful and ready to hit the museums. 🖼️🥶

Happy Lunar New Year 🎊🧧🐍 Wishing everyone a prosperous and joyous new year, no matter what is going on around us. Choose joy because our kids are watching. I have a little tiger 🐯 at home, and a little snake 🐍 on the way. Im choosing joy for my family.

I made my author book marks! 🤗🔖This is a first and I’m putting one in my scrapbook!

I have this problem where I write something that is important to me, and I want to share, but I never feel like it’s ready. 😕

My kindle unlimited membership ends in less than a month. I was using it to give positive reviews through the eyes of a teacher/ mom as a way to give back to fellow children’s authors. I wrote this on my meta accounts, which I no longer have, and got several responses.

Hello 👋 Check out some of my other hang out spots and creations below. linktr.ee/biancasalina...

Today we are all home sick. 🤧 We are all resting and somewhat medicated. I started a Netflix show, Call the Midwives. My aunt told me about it. It’s based on a memoir. It’s making me so emotional 🥹 Feels like women have always lacked support on their motherhood journey. Hits home. I recommend.

I haven’t been reading much but have been going through passages of books I read in the past—not just history and nonfiction, but works on abolition and self-care so I thought I’d share some of my favorites with you

I made the decision to attend the SCBWI conference in New York today. Last minute, yes. That's kinda how I roll.😂 I went last year and it was inspiring. This year it lands on my birthday and there's nothing else I'd rather be doing than following my joy! #scbwiNY25 #childrensauthors #illustrators
