This makes me sad on so many levels - as a forever educator, as a kid who was taught to never step on books out of respect for the knowledge they hold, as a writer and as environmental advocate. #kidlit

In my neck of the woods, the moon was hiding behind a thoroughly clouded sky. Before I went to bed I saw it’s light through the blinds. The photos be from mah phone: please enjoy them in all of their blurriness. Also might be a bunny or donkey up there too. #bluemoon #moon #photography #rabbit

Yay Ms. Kiersten! Thank you for creating that space. Saw this episode on her Youtube. Loved how it walks through the full thought and emotional process of Fritz the Duck and his struggle over telling a lie without coming in top down and interrupting that growth. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtnJ...

Ahhh got my first hateful comments as a creator online. I guess this is a rite of passage? A gross one.

Check out Grey’s awesome setup @Fanime! They’re nice :)

Thank you! That’s wonderful. I’m always trying to find plastic free sticker paper :)

Makes me wonder where their movement is taking them . :)

Yup. Literally working on a video right now about a cool badass pollinator. Preach.

The time has changed! I'm on at noon, followed by a signing at 12:30pm.

Me too! Except, I’d had to walk on my tippy toes. Or figure out how to float. Whichever.

This is awesome! Will patrons get to guess what books said dragon likes?

Thanks so much for the folks who have checked this out! Who knew that the platform would expand it’s community so quickly! Nerd for the World. Deeply grateful! www.youtube.com/@NerdfortheW... REQUEST: Does anyone know a fluent / native Japanese speaker for language check? This would fairly paid

It’s true! Also true for my quaker pirate parrot (she got one good eye), pup and a whole bunch of other critters. I’m sure your plants, if you have em’ too. They’re thirsty.

Happy #EarthDay!! I’m pleased to announce the debut of Nerd for the World! It’s place for action for the #environment and ourselves. We take a look at the joy in #nature as well as the challenges that face it and us. www.youtube.com/@NerdfortheW...

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. Happy Birthday to Dr Maya Angelou (born April 4, 1928)

This makes me think that amazing approaches to life can be entirely unexpected. Viva the awesome weird feathered friends!

Thanks for the breakdown! - Join #kidlitart chat tonight!

Yup and try to replicate their powers without understanding them or the ramifications of that. Whole X-men(people) meets AI thread there.

Happy Year of the Fire Horse! 🔥✨🐴 May the year bring you courage, change, and prosperity! #yearofthehorse #lunarnewyear #illustration #kidlit #happynewyear #art

Oh man, loving the horse - unicorn stampede in this thread! Not a #kidlit illustrator, but on the word side of things. Found the first form I made with clay(ish) a few days ago and it happened to be a unicorn! Happy upcoming year of the Fire Horse!! My blue critter --> #unicorns #horses

Agreed :)

Love the attention to accessibility in Mychal’s posts. Thanks for highlighting the hidden side of the Dewey Decimal system. These hidden drivers of finding content are huge and honestly the lesson still applies in other search systems today.

Hugs for everyone #nationalhugday #kidlit #kidlitart

Can you guess what “EEL” stands for ? ;) Florida City - Do some good this #MLK day and help out at the Pineland Preserve! Use the QR code to register. #environment #conservation

I made a graphic!

Understood! Feels like these pieces could be a cool character start.

Need a kitty ally? Me too. Here’s one --> #Caturday #photography

Happy 2026. Here’s a new seabird friend hanging out with the sun. #newyear #naturephotography #birds

Happy late solstice. Randomly came across this from 10.5 years ago. Time seriously flies. The sun coming through the Acropolis, Athens, Greece. I like the bit of restoration work that you can see. #solstice #photography #greece

Has anyone used any anti-ai-scraping tools or other methods to protect their art / photography or written content? Pixsy, Glaze, Nightshade etc. ? Any sort of legal deterrents? -->protect your #art, #photography, #writingcommunity from #ai sampling Love to hear your experiences. Thanks!

The sky was showing all kinds of flash today. #photography

Oh man! The themes, the characters, the art, love of language. Excited to check these out. #booksky #skylibrarian :) prepping early for --> #lunarnewyear

When stuffs gets really bad in the world we watch movies that aren't as evil as real life...like the Blair Witch Project...Dusty says sarcastically. Hope you can find some positivity in all the mess. This family loves you all. Hugs ❄️❄️❄️💙

Yet again, I have no idea as to the logic of some of these awful things in the world. Here’s a brave duckling if you need an ally in this muck, too. Those little guys face a lot, but are resilient. #wtf #photography #thinking #honestlyacontinuedwtf

When you can’t choose just one to check out ---> #kidlit #booksky #skylibrarian Good problem to have :)

Just saw a review on Publisher’s Spotlight too. So glad to see this here on #Bluesky. Wonderful! #kidlit #music

i DO think it's wack when artists are like talking about how they don't see the point of alt text bc art is so ~visual~ so like man what is the ~point~ ??? low vision ppl + ppl who use screenreaders say alt text makes bsky accessible what do you MEAN you're just here going NUH UH

From one moon to another. Happy Supermoon! Last full moon of the year. :) Dusk August Moon with kitsune messenger at Fushimi Inari shrine at Kyoto. #photography #japan #uplift #fushimiinari

Yes! Not to be weird, but I just donated. As a kid, I had a lot of exposure to cool scienc-y people of many different kinds and it blew my world wide open. And that was through science and beyond, because science doesn’t live in locked in a dark cupboard. It drives life. Yay Skype a Scientist!

Painted turtle friend I came across, just hanging out in mexican heather. Cute little bugger. #wildlife #naturephotography #native #photography #uplift

Yup. Please do this --> (weird side note, met a scorpion when I was young and it was oddly cute. Still not a friend you should pet)

I was in a meeting today and heard a great phrase, “There’s great humanity in this town.” <-- Yes and more of that, please. #positive #uplift
