I am at the Gaithersburg MD Book Festival tomorrow (free! Come!) and was just stopped in the elevator by a total stranger. “I know you. You have a reputation. You were the only person at the Decatur Book Festival who could get an Oreo from their forehead to their mouth with no hands.”

I love a good walking blog. "I pass a house where maybe ten years ago I saw a woman in her early sixties playing with a large, fluffy dog in the side yard. I remember specifically thinking about how happy she looked, how at ease." @cariluna.bsky.social

This is the second post in a series of walks around Portland, Oregon. I walk through the city every day anyway, so I figured…why not bring you with me? Once a month, or maybe a bit more often, you’…

I’m such a massive fan of Gabriel’s paintings, and travelogues, and the American landscape. His train journals are delicious.

Today is a good day! @katebeaton.bsky.social has a new book out and I think you will love it. It has biting, and mermaids, and boats, all of which are very much my jam. She’s one of my very favorite authors and humans and perhaps it will be your jam too. 🦈

For those who love good science communication: @verabrosgol.bsky.social wonderful series on being the artist-in-residence on an invasive species research boat in the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. (thumbnail is a cartoon of the bundled artist on small boat with two vacationing rats)

#akleg Well, this is insane. Mendenhall Glacier will get 700k visitors this year and have two staffers to manage the facilities. Good luck keeping the bathrooms clean and keeping people safe from bear encounters.

Did you know: I have a middle-grade book coming out in May! It's my first illustrated prose novel, and the title may be familiar to some of you, but I promise it's very different. (But no less weird.) I hope you like it. 😌 You can see a a lil preview here: us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

A hardcover book with a kelly green cover and yellow sprayed edges, with "Return to Sender" written in yellow type. The image depicts a long-haired boy and a short-haired girl on a series of fire escapes while mysterious figures appear in windows. Two envelopes float in space.
