I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

good morning, if you live in Georgia I highly recommend double checking your voter registration today!! mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/ (they sent out a bunch notices over the summer & if you didn't login, it auto moved to you over to being inactive and you won't be able to vote in upcoming elections)

Hey, I know books are expensive and money is tight right now. But if there's a brand new book you really wanna read — including my own Lessons in Magic and Disaster — you can help get the book into way more hands by requesting it from your local library! It's easy! Check your library's website.

I’ve learned more about being a better advocate for my son, through the questions children have been kind enough to ask. A little essay for The Huffington Post, and how I learned to shed my “it’s not my job to educate everyone” armor, for the child who needed me to. www.huffpost.com/entry/answer...

And evergreen reminder - watch the documentary Street Gang if you want the receipts - that it all started from supporting Black and brown children. What serves the underrepresented serves all.

What a time for CBS to cancel Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” and blame it on a “purely financial decision”: variety.com/2025/tv/news...

if a company came out and was like "we will not shove AI down your throat, we will not redirect funds towards AI, and we will just make sure this thing you use keeps working the way you like it" I think I would give them a lot of money

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles. Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

In addition to having homework for the rest of your life, being a writer also provides you with two report cards a year, so you can see what a failure you are, when it comes to things that are *checks notes* totally beyond your control but you're still held accountable for.

I tried to imagine what life without my library would be like…and the list is way too long #nationallibraryweek
