Hola #KidlitPostcard day I’m Kerry Valenzuela author-illustrator looking for representation 😊 my work is derived from stories of my childhood told in a simplistic feel and my artwork is created with touch of folk art, texture, shape and pattern. Come by and visit my work ❤️ #kidlitart
Image: the cover of the book "Ilustra, Book One: Daybreaker" by Tori Tadiar. The cover features three tween, with the center figure casting some sort of spell that is making light come out of her hands. Notably, the background has a sun that evokes the same sun from the flag of the Philippines.

Proving that judging a book by its cover DOES work, I immediately noticed the way the sun was drawn on the cover of Ilustra, Book One: Daybreaker by Tori Tadiar looked VERY familiar, thus piquing my curiosity enough to look it up and put the book on hold!
A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).
The kids doing the Purim Science Spectacular are dancing and screaming to "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO, a song that is significantly older than said kids dancing to it.
Kinda wild to hear a song used for ragers back in college in a kid's library program.

A Long-tailed Tit dangles awkwardly from one foot on a thin branch, its tiny body swinging below, clinging on for dear life, just like the rest of us on a Monday.
Still clinging to the weekend. No current plans to let go.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.
I’m very comfortable and cozy on the D-list, being known mostly by children and bisexual librarians, but every now and then I think it would be fun to be famous just for one or two reasons, and this is never more true than when I remember The Muppet Show
1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
Fielded my first official "...but AI told me x,y and z" question today, and I had to very firmly tell this older lady that, no, we cannot accept your copies of National Geographic magazine from before my parents were born.
No, Google's AI overview is NOT correct. Christ!
Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

Every day I try to keep up with the news, and every day I learn something new and terrible about billionaires that both keep me moving left and disgust me to my core.
Also, fuck Neil Gaiman, do not let that man back into public view ever again.

@hehimta BREAKING A just watched in realtime as jk rowling's superyacht samsara was completely removed from marinetraffic and other services. not just AIS off; the entire vessel listing is gone incl. all port logs. marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details... Nothing to sea here Oops... Something went wrong Please refresh the page, or contact us if the error persists.
🤔 It’s definitely not suspicious at all to have people point out your common Twitter sign off is in the Epstein files and ten completely delete your yacht’s logs right?
Jeffrey Epstein emailing Peter Thiel: Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain. ... Return to tribalism. Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances.
Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.
Send me your strength to finish this comic and leave me enough time to finish class prep
It’s so funny that this guy’s entire thing is “Oh are you triggered by what I have to say about marginalized people” but he loses it when someone more well-liked than he will ever be talks about an actual injustice
exactly. this is not difficult.

Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.
Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."
After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc
they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit
The thing that shocks me most is that all of this incriminating stuff was sitting at the DOJ for 4 years and Biden & Garland were not cynical or ruthless enough to use it against Trump & Musk in the run up to 2024.
If only they were the evil ‘weaponizers of government’ that MAGA claimed they were!
You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test
Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)
Good tech.
Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)
Bad tech.
every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds
The best of us leave and the worst linger. It’s unbearable.
the nba postponed a game because the united states government is killing its citizens
NYT: Federal Agents Kill a 37-Year-Old Minneapolis Man The victim was an American citizen with no criminal record who had a firearms permit, the city police chief said. Videos of the encounter contradict the federal government's description of the shooting, a New York Times analysis found.
years and years of avoiding plain language and the active voice do make the choice to use it more impactful, I suppose
