Happy Book Birthday to MAYBE JUST ASK ME! - the book I wished I had a kid. It’s Disability Book Week and this story is about discussing disability openly and honestly-curiosity with kindness is always allowed🙂 @ssedlib.bsky.social #edusky #disability

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies. In Denmark: - Health care and college are free. - The starting wage is $22/hr. - Paid parental leave is 1 year. - Paid vacation is 6 weeks. - All workers get pensions.

Feel like this book is more relevant than ever right now. We are getting a reminder of what the world was like before vaccines.

If you’re a querying writer using Libby, here’s a secret research tip to find agents to query: go to the pages of comps/books you feel yours will sit well next to on a shelf. After the blurb, Libby links to any trade reviews the book might have. Publisher’s Weekly reviews list the agent!

Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. 📚 Everyone else, please boost this post so we can connect with those in need. 🙏

www.facebook.com/arieltovlev/... Rabbi Ariel Ezekiel Tovlev:

FOR BLESSING AND NOT FOR CURSE
Creator of all things,
your creations fill the Earth.
With a simple glance I
behold the bounty
of your makings.
The living creatures of
flesh and breath,
the foliage which feeds,
the elemental powers which
we attribute to your actions.
We cannot simply pray
for abundance when too much
becomes a curse.
Reliant on the rain
whose waters sustain
in scarcity
delivers death with drought
in abundance
engulfs and drowns.

Reliant on the fire
whose heat warms
in scarcity
bears fatality with frost
in abundance
engulfs and incinerates.
The same water which
fuels can flood.
The same fire which
fuels can destroy.
We cannot pray them away.
Creator of all things,
we pray for balance
blessing, not curse
life, not death
satiety, not want
knowing one shifting wind
can change our fate.

Joelle Novey: "When so many Jews & Jewish institutions get into arguments about the words that people use to describe the carnage in Gaza, it makes me feel like I wasn’t in the same religion I thought I was... I don’t know how else to say it more gently: our once-sacred places are covered in blood."

Listening to Joni Mitchell on vinyl and every pop and scratch and rhyme and riff is bringing back the pulse quickening urge to write, the way I haven't felt it for decades, even though I've been writing ever since.

I Know How to Draw an Owl by Hilary Horder Hippely, illustrated by Matt James, is an extraordinary picture book. Spare and understated, multilayered and deeply moving, perfectly paced. Universality in specificity. I'm going to be studying it as an ideal. #picturebook
