I’m pretty sure this is the diametric opposite of Artemis II moon joy. apnews.com/article/spac...

Scientists are certain a wayward SpaceX rocket slammed into the moon as predicted
While no one observed the actual impact, a telescope in Chile spotted what astronomers have identified as the debris plume resulting from the high-speed crash.

I just watched Seven Dials on Netflix, and I finally got a Dorothy L. Sayers book (Strong Poison) to read on vacation in a couple weeks and one of my fave shows last year was The Residence and where are the modern YA versions of this kind of cozy mystery and why are they not in my submissions pile?

The perfect album from the year I turned 16–and also the one that was most played in the car with my newly gained drivers license independence…

We did a matinee and then also did the After Hours tour of Green-Cemetery, which was a bold yet A+ sort of double feature. (Though that face from the movie is still haunting me.)

I’m so glad I read @lindaholmes.bsky.social’s essay about WEAPONS in the PCHH newsletter & listened to the ep, too, bc they convinced me to see it even though I am not generally a horror person. My fella & I both thought it was one of the best in-theater movie experiences we’d had in a long time.

Craft question: are there any mg or ya books told in dual POV, where in each you consider the POV character the hero and the other the villain—sympathizing with or understanding the actions of each when you’re in their head, even though you know they’re “evil” to the other?

I’ve been reading and watching a lot of sci-fi recently (📚Some Desperate Glory, Wool, 📺 Andor, Silo, Foundation). My biggest takeaway? I don’t think I have the upper body strength to survive in a dystopia.

Sometimes I think about Dear Genius, the collection of funny, pithy, insightful letters that the legendary Ursula Nordstrom wrote to authors like Sendak, EB White, Margaret Wise Brown, etc, and how I email my authors things like Neverending Story gifs.

“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.”

“The first people a dictator puts in jail after a coup are the writers, the teachers, the librarians —because these people are dangerous. They have enough vocabulary to recognize injustice and to speak out loudly about it. Let us have the courage to go on being dangerous people.” —Madeleine L’Engle

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
