I finally sat down and figured out what to do with the last chapter of my manuscript. 😤 Why was I dancing around it for so long? Sometimes it just takes a little time. If you have this problem too, try to be patient with yourself.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Yoga with Adriene is fantastic. I feel so much better even after a short practice.

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this. Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

I did some minor detective work and figured out that the agency doing this is Art Lab Illustration Agency. They're also currently running a contest in partnership with an AI company in which illustrators can "win representation" from Art Lab 🙄

Horrified by this e-mail I got from a real illustration agency this morning, advertising the chance to *USE AI* to generate images in the style of one of their illustrators. You join their plan for $$$, pick an artist, give the AI a prompt, then reach out if you want specialization.
