Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Reporter: Mr. President, what do you say to Americans who are not fans of the war? Trump: They're foolish.

If you get self-conscious about posting repeated promo, let me give you all my long-standing promo-hack, for free. (I'm not currently using it, but I will be soon! lol) This is a site without an algo, but also one that does not punish links. So what you want to do is make a strategic thread.

Best STAR TREK crew. Wrong answers only.

Everything is pretty messed up right now and I’m pretty sure reading more cool picture books is the answer. This means you too grownups.

Seven-word death punch

7 years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Someday... (Repost with monster alt text)

ONE WEEK FROM TODAY: March 28 will be the biggest protest in US history. Find your local No Kings event to make clear you're part of The Resistance to this regime’s brutality at home, pathetic ineptness, perpetual lying & their illegal war in Iran. ✊https://app.sosha.ai/s/39HA7UDd

People forget this but Chuck Norris jokes were originally Mr. T jokes. I don't know why that changed but clearly the world would have been better if it hadn't

I will never use AI to write anything. Even if it weren't ethically dubious, using AI to write is like having a robot do the reps during weight lifting. Your writing skills will deteriorate. Your voice will atrophy. I genuinely don't understand why any writer would do it. Makes no sense.

People have to stop calling ICE law enforcement. They are domestic terrorists

ALA is disappointed that the House Committee on Education & Workforce moved forward dangerous federal book banning legislation yesterday. HR 7661 contains vague, confusing, and overly broad language, inviting government censorship. More from ALA: www.ala.org/news/2026/03... (1/2)

I've adapted a bunch of classic nursery rhymes into comics. Here's the first one, Humpty Dumpty. #kidlit #kidlitart #nurseryrhyme

So @bencollins.bsky.social inspired me. In the middle of @katmabu.bsky.social‘s campaign, I had a major life crisis where I was living in an unsafe position and very, very scared. Law enforcement was involved. It was awful. Kat is the busiest person I know. I am her boyfriend’s business partner.

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

Who is ready to enter the #PBParty contest? The submission window opens in two hours. Wahooooo! mindyalyseweiss.com/...

Hey, hey, #kidlitart friends! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 @littlebrownyr.bsky.social just announced that the next round of the Emerging Artist Award is open! It looks like a fantastic opportunity, and the wonderfully talented @mikecurato.bsky.social is the judge! Details here: lbartistaward.com

I want to normalize EVERYONE reading picture books. Not because I am a picture book writer. But because I am a picture book READER - and a childless one, at that. But alas, even my own family only reads my picture books and no one else's. They're missing out - and so are too many others.

My writing partner @gryphonmetal.bsky.social and I are so damn proud of our contributions in this film 💖🇰🇷🫡 Hope Hollywood learns the right lessons and greenlights more ORIGINAL stories.

The president made $4 billion last year and just murdered 160 children

1. Promote artists a gen. younger than you. Share your platform. RT them, mention them in interviews. (This means being aware of what younger artists are doing!) 2. Hire them if you can. Pin ups, commissions, variants, fill-ins, assists, anything. A small gig can be what helps them make rent.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast. They’ll play this in museums in future. (🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)

NEW from me and @swin24.bsky.social: How the "Fox News Cabinet" - led by shadow chief of staff Sean Hannity - convinced Trump to go to war with Iran. "A lot of angry people that tried to influence the president didn’t get their way and are lashing out," Hannity told us. zeteo.com/p/how-the-fo...
