I hear the human embodiment of a ball sack Mitch McConnell is retiring. I'd make a ball sack sound to send him off but I don't know the sound ball sacks make.

What a nice surprise when the Yangs came back from HK: an advance copy of Bus! Stop! (May 2025) now in board book format! Now friends can drool and spit up on my art without ruining it!

Me to 26 year old niece: Did you see Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show? Do you know him? Niece: I saw him live in London 5 years ago and my friend wants us to see his and SZA’s show in the summer. I will never not be a dork.

Friend in Taiwan told me, if you leave your helmet on your scooter, no one will steal your helmet. If you leave your backpack, no one is taking your backpack. However, if you leave your lunch that will be stolen. I have found my people.

My first and current editor at Viking have been superb mentors teaching me how to add layers to storytelling. I know enough to see how Kendrick Lamar won a Pulitzer. His attention to detail is amazing. If you didn’t see it don’t feel bad. My editors have been trying to teach me for years.

Sitting in the windowsill of our hotel room on the 19th floor while looking at the HK cityscape and typing on laptop. I’m just like those douchebags you see in travel ads on in flight screens

The most impressive thing about Kendick’s halftime show is Mrs Yang (who is a choreographer) had no notes. In case you’re wondering how tough a critic she is, she had notes for my book THAT WON A GEISEL

Time to poop: Talked to my financial manager to get his take and it's dark. He's preparing us for roughly 2 ugly years while the market redoes the math. If there ever was a time where nobody knows this is it.

I know how to make MAGA hate Musk even more than they do. Tell them his HB-1 visa holders are messing with their Social Security.
