The women’s final yesterday at the US Open was a good game. Until the winning celebrity, Sabalenka, made a show of slipping on and thus endorsing an obscenely expensive watch, worth more than $200,000. #USOpen bling

Stephen King has written a picture-book version of Hansel and Gretel, with illustrations by Maurice Sendak, originally created for the stage sets and costumes of an opera. Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen discuss the results. #kidlit www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/b...

Happy #NationalDogDay! Daisy would like you to know, in case you’re contemplating getting one, that most of their lives they’re just two-year-olds in dog suits.

@deborahkops.bsky.social Happy Ratification Day!

You never know when you're going to stumble on some wonderful source you weren't looking for. The Web. An eternal crapshoot. #Amwriting

The Netanyahu government’s extermination of Gaza intensifies. Malnutrition is rampant, children are starving to death, people are shot while waiting for meager food rations — and US weapons allow it to happen. Trump and Congress must act NOW. Stop the slaughter. Feed the people.

Which US senators and representatives are working to stop the government from sending billions of dollars in military aid to Israel until it ends this genocidal war? And which US political groups on the left are most effective at trying to do the same? #GazaWar

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting will lose $1.1 billion if the House approves this package. Please call your representatives and demand they vote No.

Justice Sotomayor called the decision a "myopic attempt to resolve a major constitutional question through close textual analysis of ‘Uncle Bobby’s Wedding’" and laments its failure to accept L.G.B.T.Q. people. Kudos to the book's author @sarahsbrannen.bsky.social. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/u...

HB 3225 is dead. Texas teens maintain the right to read freely in their local libraries. Grassroots organizing, coalition building, and individual Texas students, authors, parents, librarians, & public library supporters using their voices WORKED.

RIP Susan Brownmiller: feminist author, journalist and activist. Her book Against Our Will: Men, Women and Rape "helped define the modern view of rape, debunking it as an act of passion and reframing it as a crime of power and violence." #feminism www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/b...

It’s #AAPIHERITAGEMONTH and also #JewishAmericanHeritage month. I didn’t plan it, I swear, but I’m really enjoying all three of these. Fairweather’s is an adaptation of his book The Prosecutor for YA readers. So what are you reading?

I've been listening to the audiobook of Sarah Wynn-Williams' new Careless People, which she reads herself. It's a fascinating, sometimes funny account of the sloppy and unethical ways Facebook operated in the 2010s--and undoubtedly still does. If you're active on FB, it's worth reading. #Facebook
