Fave #picturebook of the week: THIS IS NOT THAT KIND OF BOOK by @christopherhealy.bsky.social and @benmantle.bsky.social. A hysterical send-up of picture book tropes and genres. I can't decide if I feel seen or attacked, in a good way. #booksky #kidlit #HedgibleTHedgehog4eva

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

Once again, you're working with terrible, exploitative companies to push "A.i." into the classroom. You can use words like "safely, wisely, and ethically," but the companies you're working with have demonstrated that they have no interest in any of that. And the tech is bullshit. We all know this.

“Don’t get emotional, it plays into their hands” Counterpoint via the embroidery @marthamihalick.bsky.social made for me seven years ago:
A piece embroidered on fabric patterned with illustrated scissors. The embroidered text reads: “stay angry, little Meg,” Mrs. Whatsit whispered. “You will need all your anger now.”

Goodbye, 1,580-day streak. And goodbye Duolingo. I’m not supporting a company that’s firing living, breathing employees to go full AI. (I should have known this was coming when they killed off the owl.) Anybody recommend a good language-learning program that has humans involved in its development?

It just occurred to me that the singer's request for a '54 convertible in "Santa Baby" was probably intended to show her desire for a brand new car, and not, as I've always interpreted it, to show that she's a collector of cool, old vintage vehicles.

1. A teacher in Ohio who has worked at the same public school for 34 years was suspended without pay and threatened with termination for offering four books in her classroom library that contained LGBTQ characters. She's fighting back.

This fascinating poll and accompanying article were written and developed by my brilliant daughter. But I’d be reposting it even if it weren’t.

Surprise science lesson! Apparently, the “emergency” water you put in storage after Hurricane Sandy can evaporate even if the containers are never opened, leaving you with nothing but empty plastic jugs and a gratefulness that you haven’t lost your water service again since then.

How much do I love that I made a post saying my feed was lacking in cute animal content and subsequently I got followed by a slew of animal accounts? (The answer is “a lot,” btw. I love it a lot.)

I know a waistcoat is something else entirely, but that’s really what cummerbunds should have been called.

I don't want to cast doubt on the impeccable dependability of google AI, but I don't remember this particular plot twist in du Maurier's REBECCA
The AI Overview of the classic gothic novel REBECCA claims that in the story, humans are being harvested for their organs

Where are all the funny animal pic accounts? Is there a starter pack for that? My feed doesn’t have nearly enough funny animal videos.

It sickens me that this type of thing even has to happen, but bravo, Amanda Jones, for continuing to take the fight back to the banners and harassers. #FreedomtoRead #LibrariansRule

I know I’ve been on here for a while and still haven’t said anything yet, but I’m waiting until I can think of something super deep and witty for my first post.
