Here’s a question for people who understand the biz side of tv. Realistically, what can an individual local station owned by Sinclair do? Can they run Kimmel’s show in defiance? What happens if they refuse to run S’s own propaganda segments or let criticize S on air in news casts?

Autistic advocates and researchers: please be in my email inbox [email protected] to share what type of autism research could actually be helpful instead of trying to "eliminate autism"

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...

I was a latecomer to the Dear Hank & John podcast and just started listening to the early eps. Now listening to J talking about this new word he’s learned, which he’s (as of Ep 4) unsure how to pronounce: ANTHROPOCENE. bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Today I was introduced to the term Disney Adult multiple times all up and down my feed.

My most Gen X complaint is that this question ignores our existence.

🤮 😡

Pause your doomscrolling and listen to this story.

one of the common threads you will frequently find among devoted adult readers & writers is that as kids the librarian let them get away with reading whatever the fuck they wanted. so much of the scifi and fantasy I fell in love with as a kid was very much Not For Kids, but it made my brain light up

Please, if Antifa was a real organization we'd all be carrying official tote bags. Leftists love a fuckin' tote bag.

My then-12 year old once told a soccer opponent "you look like you go to McDonald's for the flavor", and we all took collateral damage from that one.

Hey #kidlit illustrators! We’re beginning to think through a mythology-themed beginning-reader series. I'm looking for someone w/ a commercial/punchy, character-forward style who can breath life into ancient lore. Please respond w/ samples + folio link. Please no emails/DMs. 💙❤️ #artcommissions

That tiny hand. ("Remote Control" by Barry Blitt, The New Yorker, September 29, 2025)

“Wait but if they declared anti-fascists enemies of the state then they were basically admitting the state is actually fascist, no?” — some poor baffled student trying to study for their Fall of the American Empire history exam in the year 2525, probably

Daily bunny no.3081 just has to make it across

Don’t forget your local affiliates, too. Our Nexstar-owned ABC affiliate has their general manager’s phone number conveniently on their contact page…

under capitalism, the primary power we have against corporations is as consumers when they get so big that they don’t actually need to worry about consumers, they can effectively function like kings. totally indifferent to our anger because our individual dollars don’t add up to enough to care

Comic inspired by (too many) encounters with those who think writing/illustrating children's picture books are a stepping stone to writing/illustrating REAL books. Thanks to Catherine Bailey for the caption! #KidLitChat #LibrarySky #DebbieOhiComics

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

People don’t like it when I say it, but the main place you’ll be pressured to participate in fascism is work. Especially if you work in a battleground space like government or academia. None of your weekend organizing can ever make up for active participation in the fascist project at your day job.

The only real movie crush my mom ever admitted to

My very good buddy and overall sweet little guy Fisher took a bad tumble this morning and is racking up medical bills. I know times are tough, but if you can spare a few bucks for his recovery we would be so grateful. www.gofundme.com/f/fisher-rec...

This week I start an @efafreelancers.bsky.social course on editing picture books that I’ve been looking forward to for over a year. Yay!

Hey #kidlit illustrators! We're beginning work on new Christmas/nighttime themed picture book. I'm looking for someone with a painterly, textured, and literary style capable conjuring magic, light, and wonder. Please respond w/ samples + folio link. Please no emails/DMs. 💙❤️ #artcommissions

Just finished the audiobook of NICE TRY (written & narrated by @joshgondelman) and I heartily recommend it. ♥️ily, even. Give yourself a treat and get this one a.s.a.p. from @Bookshop.com, @libro.fm, or your local library. 📚 #booksky libro.fm/audiobooks/9...

This. Whenever I play “two truths,” I include that I collect Pez and carry a candy filled dispenser in my purse. They never suspect. It’s most often Kermit, but now that I learned that a custom Pez is cheaper than a custom stuffie, it’s only a matter of time before I commission a Library Kitty Pez.

This sounds like a great opportunity tbh

Tony Randall took a turn as Hercule Poirot?!? 🧐 Why am I just learning this?

Once again woke up hot and sweaty and within seconds was cold and shivering and still can’t get warm, but that’s okay because it’s “probably just menopause,” which will only last the middle two thirds of my life so 🫠

I’m this 🤏 close to starting a huge thread exploring long-term (long con?) gaslighting by friends in 2 distinct situations as an adult & how, between that & growing up steeped in generational trauma gaslighting, I’ve spent literal decades fighting to keep believing that up is up, etc. 1/2

Saying "Hey man, stop being weird" could solve a lot of problems

I wish I could be there! 📚

Reminder that one thing that made this site good initially was that we sorta agreed to not re-post a bunch of objectionable crap by assholes into our friends’ TLs, even if just to say “look at this asshole.” The vibe was better when we just blocked those chumps and moved on.

fox news host: [feeding homeless people into a wood chipper] let us discuss how mean democrats are

as someone who loves to indulge in media meant for kids, a pet peeve is critics of that media who don't seem to understand the target audience IS kids and what kids are like "why are we making yet another 'racism is bad' movie" Cuz this might be the first one 6yo Billy has ever seen, dipshit

I often think about how death threats would be treated in America if everyone weren't sure that they're nearly all from right-wing white men.
