My second dream last night was solving my first dream, then the alarm woke me. Now I have a two-dream problem.

Anyone else?

Anyone else remember when headlines were representative of the story that followed?

I miss those headlines.

Anyone else remember when every item on the Modcloth site had a funny, punny name?

I miss that Modcloth.

Song Sung Blue is a emotional roller coaster ride worth taking!
Saw a preview last night and still feel hopeful.

Agree 💯!

(Also, can't believe I'm using that emoji. The missing % drives me nuts!)

Anyhow, I think we owe it to kids and to each other to recognize the fact that knowledge is power.
That hiding information that very much can affect someone does not in fact protect them.
This is social media and of course this conversation requires nuance: but it’s something to think about ❤️

If the quality of your work doesn’t matter—just the speed at which you can produce it—then you’re not making art. You’re making content.

@picturebooksummit.bsky.social 2025 was fabulous! Left me inspired and tired (in a good way). Thanks to the team for putting together an amazing conference!

FRAUD ALERT: I have nothing to do with these phony books using my name on the cover. I have not written a memoir or partnered/inspired any cookbooks!
Attempts to get Amazon to take these down have gone nowhere.

Weighing in on the egg conversation, do old eggs really peel more easily or was that just something my grandmother said?
