Ray Bradbury quote: You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.
Censorship doesn’t always look like fire. Sometimes it looks like quiet removals, restricted access, or making books harder to find. When stories disappear, so do the voices, histories & ideas that shape understanding. This isn’t just about books. It’s about keeping critical thinking alive.
This dog rescue had a slumber party night where volunteers got to sleep with a dog up for adoption!
This is the kind of place I’d donate my time and money to.

This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)
On this #NationalSiblingsDay, I want to acknowledge my sister, Gina.
Gina had autism, and she is one reason why I believe strongly in portraying neuroatypical characters in my books. She partly inspired Natalie, a character with autism in my #TalesFromAlcatraz series. ❤️ #BookSky
Headline: How the wildlife trade boosts the chance of a disease jumping from animals to humans. Over an image of a smol screaming bat being held by a hand in work gloves.
Decades of data reveal that animals involved in the wildlife trade—from pet sales to meat markets to illegal poaching—are much more likely to carry pathogens that can infect humans: www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-...
A graphic of the Artemis II reentry timeline. The process takes 13 minutes for the capsule to travel from 400,000 feet above Earth down to the ocean. Also marked are a communications blackout spanning from about 30 seconds to 6 minutes into the process and the parachute deploy from 10 to 12.5 minutes.
After a ten-day mission around the moon, the Artemis II astronauts will have traveled nearly 700,000 miles. Today is the final hurdle: reentry. Here's where we stand right now: www.scientificamerican.com/article/nasa...

A hardcover version of The Unfinished Business, showing a night-time cityscape with lots of glowing windows. A girl looks out of one at three ghosts floating overhead
Maude took a hovering seat on a velvet armchair squished into an off-kilter corner. Escape-minded stuffing was mak- ing a break for it through the cat-clawed gashes on its arms. “Well,” she began, “I’m in the business of unfinished business. I help ghosts deal with what’s keeping them here and then send them on their way. It’s simple. I’m a ghost because I have unfinished business. And The Unfinished Business is my unfinished business.” Maude removed her squashed spectacles, flipped them over, and put them back on. Her eyes took on their familiarly owlish countenance. “That’s where you come in. You’re the new me.”
Hello, I wrote a fun middle grade novel about ghosts, letting go, and chocolate gateau. It's called The Unfinished Business, and it's in shops now!
