"So far, I haven’t encountered anyone who’s raised an eyebrow at my hobby; maybe I’m an inspiration." Read LG Literary's @k-wilfrid.bsky.social's essay on nerd culture and the joys of American Girl dolls as an adult in @huffpost.com ⤵️ www.huffpost.com/entry/adult-...

After I was born, my mom went from being strong and active to bedridden when exposed to everyday chemicals. 35 years later, I set out to learn why—and found that the condition’s leading researcher had a fascinating story of her own. I profiled her for Wired: www.wired.com/story/multip...

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

🐳🧨Book news! Instead of fireworks, the only thing I’ll be blowing up today is the whale I’m drawing in this book. Huge thanks to my editor Kristin at Norton and my agent Lauren for believing in this silly book that is very much a real reflection of me. #sciart #marinelife #kidlit

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I had no idea so much was happening beyond my vision by a cadre of amazing young activists.
