Does anyone know of a grant for English to Spanish translations?

Don’t frog it, Crochet! #redsox

The transition from being still vaguely a peer of your young colleagues to being a peer of their parents is tight.

Was telling a friend that my only child asked about what it was like to have a sibling and that I had replied: It’s having a person in your life who will say the cruelest things to you yet also drop anything to help you. She looked shocked. Surely that is the definition of a sibling?!

Concept: Airport crochet or knitting kits arranged by flight time, with airplane-approved supplies.

Tuesday 27th May. Lined up new episode of Backlisted for my commute. It was bloody brilliant! I thought Secret Diary of A. Mole 13¾ was just funny but intellectuals like @ninastibbe.bsky.social have convinced me it is actually searing critique of Mrs Thatcher etc. www.backlisted.fm/episodes/240...

For 225 years, the Library of Congress has collected America’s stories and kept Congress informed. The American Library Association stands with America’s library.

“Shame on all of us if we let these ignorant purveyors of cruelty reduce this beautiful thing we’ve built over these hundreds of years to a hollow, braying, anti-version of itself.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/o...

Are trees the dogs of the plant world?

Just really here for Pope Leo’s brothers!

Dr. Carla Hayden has served as Librarian of Congress with honor and distinction, bringing our prized institution to new heights.   Trump’s outrageous, politically-motivated move to fire her is despicable. The Library of Congress belongs to the American people — NOT to Trump.

Auto caption just came up with Auntie’s Inferno, which I now want to read.

Alternate side of the street parking is my alone time. 🤪

Just really enjoying the natural deodorant discussion in the middle school parent group chat. #stinkypreteens

Have survived school spirit week! Five costumes and hairstyles, two baked goods, and one concert. 👐

This makes me think of my own parents and the incredible stress of caregiving for someone with dementia. I am so sad for them both. Yet for Gene I wonder if a hospital would have been its own kind of curse. Maybe he was always going to go out alone. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/08/u...

Every time I hear the term “rare earth minerals,” I think of this book and it’s absolutely brilliant and bloody ending.

If you want an honest assessment of your appearance, get yourself a twelve-year-old daughter! Signing up for some tooth whitening right now. 😂

"Ruthie Rose’s Big Idea features a little girl who, much like the author himself, changes the world around her with her love of the written word and her instinct for building a beautiful, mutually caring, and respectful community." — @skeetervm.bsky.social www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Happy Year if Snake. Here's an image I did when I was planning on doing annual postcards to send out to people *last cycle* it was Year of the Snake. But who has time for that EVERY YEAR. It's like Sufjan and his state albums.

Reposting this advice for anyone who has “Submit my book” on your 2025 resolutions:

I miss youth, of course, but it took maturity for me to discover/appreciate the pure comfort of mint tea and cashmere socks.

Me wrapping my new insoles and dry shampoo for Santa to give me for Christmas. 😂🎅

So proud to have worked with Nikki McClure, Cece Bell, and John Schu on these three best books of the year.

Love this!
