Now this is the kind of Valentine I would want to receive.

Holy smokes. Find ya someone who loves you the way the BC NDP loves giving handouts to the fossil fuel industry.

I love her!

Things we need: truth, human rights, a government that serves the people instead of itself, and care for the collective instead of self-absorption. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

These all sound fabulous!

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

This is awesome. From a custom knife forging shop in Edom, Texas.

What a pleasure to receive this gorgeous postcard in the mail for #IfaBumblebeeLandsOnYourToe by @booksbycindy.bsky.social‬ and Vikki Zhang. The art looks gorgeous and the topics--mindfulness and respect for nature--are close to my heart. I'm looking forward to this release in the spring!

Magnificent mood!

Hello #kidlit friends. I've compiled 2024 Publishers Marketplace data into this friendly pie chart. Please note: - data is for U.S. based publishers - not all publishers/agents announce every deal - some deals include multiple books/cats so numbers are approx. - CB data also includes early readers

A message from one of SCBWI's partners

If you want kids to love reading - LET THEM READ THINGS THEY LOVE! The books we love when we're young are the ones that make us readers, and choice is a right that every reader should have. Never take it away from them! #literacy #reading #kidlit #books (Art: Quentin Blake)

Sharing for this amazing opportunity + an incredible thread of fabulous #kidlit illustrators!

Child and I both read this one in the last 24 hours. Beautifully told story about learning about yourself, a new place, friendship, and family. Uprooted by Ruth Chan.

Thought with all the new artists on BlueSky right now, we should start a new one of these and fill the feeds with art! 💛 If you see this, post something yellow! 💛 (hit quote repost and then add your art!) #kidlit #kidlitart #illustration

I don't even knit but I always enjoy @fuse8.bsky.social posting on knitting in the year's children's books. No detail is too small! #kidlit afuse8production.slj.com/2024/11/14/t...

A rough #doodle of how the past week felt, on a Gelli print background. Sort of like falling, or losing one’s footing. #kidlitart #kidlit #art #drawing #artists

I loved this conversation!

Great reminders as I start to spend more time here.

Boosting! #BlackWomenWriters #AddToBlackSky #BVM
