Did you know there was once a domestic cat constellation? 'Felis' was created by French astronomer Joseph Jérôme Lefrançois de Lalande in 1799, but the International Astronomical Union dumped Felis when they created their official constellation boundaries in 1930. www.ianridpath.com/startales/fe...

Hey! It's your friendly, metropolitan Superman! He wants you to know the S on his costume stands for "smile". Perhaps that's something you might do while watching his new movie? Or just in various random circumstances throughout the weekend? I sure HOPE so!

I'm so proud that my publisher, Random House Graphic, has the motto, "A Graphic Novel on Every Bookshelf." I can't believe that States and the Federal Government need to be reminded: Kids need a LIBRARIAN in every school. #supportlibrarians #fundschoollibraries #graphicnovels

"Won't You Be My Neighbor" on Netflix. This movie so expertly displayed the kindness of Mr. Rogers, but also the importance of that being nice, being honest, and caring about others, is not a weakness, but a strength. Amazingly relevant to the times we live in. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEYI...
