Soooo ... work.

I made a to do list. That seems like enough.

Yup.

Pizza.

I just ... no.

Try telling them "sometimes I lay down w my computer on my lap." And watch them weep.

Excellent strategy.

The truth.

Ok #edulit #kidlit folks. This book just grabs your face and does not let go !!!

Woof.

I have reached the time of my life where I need an extra blanket to go to sleep but I will throw it on my partner in the middle of the night when my entire being becomes lava.

I'm sorry .... WHAT???

Ordering.

In talking with grad students in the #kidlit class I teach at @bostonunitygroup.bsky.social @buwheelock.bsky.social

The 57 Bus has gender and queer people in it. That’s what they’re banning. I say this as a person and a writer who is queer, and to explain to those of you (not Dashka) who don’t understand why books are getting banned. Banners claim to be against “obscenity” but they’re really against queer folks

Oh for HELLS YA!

I use bay leaves in my soups.

Do I think putting old, dried up, nothing smelling leaves in soup makes a difference ?

Absolutely.

Ugh. I am now in the "I put on a hat because I walked the dogs and it was 20 degrees so now I'm married to the hat forever" phase of winter

Hey hey HEY!!!! Love to see it.

No. This is AI.
Absolutely not.

Started reading stuff I picked up at #NCTE2024

Starts off a bit heavy handed on the "I'm a girl from a conservative Jewish family" but it settles into a fun read.

I'm not sure about the representation, so
I'll be following up with a few of my students about it.

End of #ALAN2024 and #NCTE2024

Learned a ton. Saw folks. Got books. Lots and lots of books.

Now to continue the work.

Look.
I'm old-ish. I need someone to teach me about Bluesky starter packs because ...
Per Usual ... these are some white nonsense.

Lee and Low won an ALAN award for creating the baseline for diversity survey.

My friend, colleague, and one of my models for how to fight for justice, @booktoss.bsky.social won an award for her part in creating the Lee and low diversity baseline survey. Support publishers who don’t just say they believe in books for all, but prove it with their work

#ncte2024
Well. Fine. @ellenoh.bsky.social is making me cry at ALAN breakfast.

Big shout out for "When the Moon was Ours"

Fabulous.

#NCTE2024

Happy to be here. Looking forward to running into you.

@ncte in BOSTON! Hope to see loads of BU Wheelock folks.
