I read this one a while back. It was eye-opening for me in so many ways. It's an important book.

We lost one of the greats this week. Thank you, #JaneYolen, for inspiring countless hours snuggled up with my littles reading your books over the years, and for a vast library of selections they could choose from as they grew. It all began here with this book.

Banning books should be unAmerican. But it has become commonplace in many communities & school districts. So, we need a day. That's the most American part of this, we always seem to need a day bc plenty of people like being unaware. #RightToReadDay2026 uniteagainstbookbans.org/right-to-rea...

Charlize Theron's interview w/ @nytimes.com is powerful, and resonates w/ the amplified public talk this week about abuse of women. The trauma she endured, which springboarded her into a life abroad, set her stage. Couldn't resist the jab at Chalamet here too. #SupportWomen #Dance #CharlizeTheron

“The Pope should stay out of politics!” Okay, then you should keep the Ten Commandments out of our public schools and keep your theology away from legislation about individual healthcare decisions, climate change, and social welfare programs.

New post from Pope Leo: "God's heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice and lies. But our Father's heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud. God's heart is with the little ones and the humble."

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

I appreciate how you present him. The balance between his exceptionalism and his humanity shows me that perfection isn't the goal. If our motivations are pure and we put our faith in them and permit them to guide our actions, that framing can make everything we do meaningful and for the good of all.

We had this kid in Junior High who - if he asked a girl to dance and she said no - he’d insist he didn’t really wanna dance with her and was just checking to see if she was a jerk.

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.

@naominovik.bsky.social What the world needs now is the Temeraire series as movies or a TV series. When the U.S. president decides the history of slavery is "too woke" to be shared in our museums, we need Art more than ever to fill the gaps. Your work is exactly what we need. #HistoryThroughArt

In all my years of being married to my husband, he has never put the extra pillows on the bed in the morning after getting up. However, his favorite cat has decided this week that she likes this particular arrangement of pillows. Now they are on the bed in just this configuration every morning.

I'm always looking for something to get lost in, but I've become a bit of a book snob. However, now that I'm untangling from the GoodReads/Amazon web, what I really hope is to discover new authors. I'm tired of the algorithms attempting to feed me.
