Curious why a standard picture book is 32 pages in traditional #KidLit trade publishing? And why NOT all 32 pages are for story content? In this #PictureBooks101 post, I explain picture book format & construction: debbieohi.com/2025/09/pict...

It was never about “freedom.” It was always about who was in control.

We’ve waited for so long for the fever to break. But the fever is breaking us Now is the time to stand up. Now. Be loud and non-violent. Join a boycott. Call your senator, propose a national strike. Demand the release of the Epstein files. Demand action on the genocide in Gaza.

Once again, RFK, Jr. is trying to dismantle a highly effective, longstanding public health measure that protects people from getting sick. We have so much data on the effectiveness of fluoride. So much data. By the way, dental work is not covered by most health insurance plans.

"Let’s be clear about what just happened: Jimmy Kimmel, a prominent late-night comedian, was just taken off the airwaves because the Trump administration didn’t like what he had to say — and threatened his employer until they shut him up."

Artists and writers might not be so opposed to AI if every major AI advocate did not take such pains to announce, as loudly as possible, "I am an asshole." deadline.com/2025/09/ai-t...

Tomorrow on Subpoena Royale: Phaea says the 2006 James Bond movie CASINO ROYALE is a remake of the CASINO ROYALE from 1967. But Justin says both CASINOS ROYALE are adaptations of the Ian Fleming novel from 1953.... Who's right?

On nutrition, Jeffrey Dahmer has broken sharply with the mainstream.

What is the actually definition of "ultraprocessed food"? As @yrfatfriend.bsky.social and @michaelhobbes.bsky.social pointed out on Maintenance Phase, this vague phrase is way too slippery, and you know RFKjr will take full advantage to cut benefits/god knows what else. apple.news/Ab9LxFjg_S3-...

RIP John Adams. You were a real one.

Good invasive plant names to call people as insults: You knotweed You ditch lily You swallow-wart You common buckthorn You goutweed You creeping Charlie These are great insults that also educate about local biodiversity 

All hail Frieda the dog who battled a big fat fly and won. We thank her for her service. We also wish she hadn't left the corpse on our pillow, but hey that's the way fly war works.

A food shaming campaign - lovely. Truly nothing more American. Can't wait til the influencers pushing this realize half their affiliate codes for protein products are 'ultraprocessed'. www.statnews.com/2025/06/13/u...
