Look, I never, never, ever want the video to autoplay when I click on a news item. In fact, I generally don’t even want it to be a video. I want to read my news in silence. Why are all the CTV news sites like this?

It’s Outlander Time! (Isn’t all ⏳?) Suddenly seized by a wonderment: what are Jemmy & Mandy doing presently and *when* are they? In 2024? Or somewhen else? They’d be in their 40s.

📚👍🏽 Found this gem just prior to Remembrance Day and snapped it up to read with my students. They loved it! It explores how Remembrance Day might be experienced if you aren’t from the dominant culture. Includes a recipe and historical notes.

Woke up this morning to check @nytimes.com headlines for election results. Sigh. 😢 It's #IReadCanadianDay & I'm Canadian. I'll post more about #CanKidLit later today but right now, these two #KidLit books I helped create w/ @michaelianblack.bsky.social summarize some of what I'm feeling right now.

If you’re a GenXer, especially one with kids, and you have things to do this morning that don’t involve sentimental crying, probably avoid this lovely essay on Richard Scarry and the Busytown books. yalereview.org/article/chri...
