In my imagination, this a drowning snowperson. Did they run afoul of the dreaded Snowflake Gang?

Thank you, Lindsay for your thoughtful post about IF A BUMBLEBEE LANDS ON YOUR TOE. I truly believe that our world will be more peaceful if we can identify our fears, cope with them, and then become curious about the things (or people) we fear. Love is powerful.

My newest resource was created with the understanding that all children have big feelings, and caregivers are already doing their very best to support them.
It’s not about fixing emotions or rushing...

Here’s my first quote of the year for the teens in my creative writing classes, which comes from Pam Grossman:
“I have actually come to believe that creativity IS magic.”

A frozen forest in miniature. When I spotted this on a winter walk, I imagined tiny explorers trekking through this foreboding—but beautiful—landscape.

Glad to "batter up!" for @theseaboardreview.ca about #BillyCrawford'sDoublePlay by #BradSmith, a funny, clever novel about an aging ballplayer who can't accept he's a has-been. But, in a riff on the baseball term double play, Billy may have other greatness in him—of the moral kind. shorturl.at/26kwe

Finished this one for Grandparents' Day.
My grandpa also had a white beard, wore suspenders and taught me how to ride a bike 😊💙

If you are a writer/author, you are probably aware of the issues with AI in the book industry, and maybe you don't know about the issues with illustration. ALL generative ai is bad (stolen copyright, etc), so don't use generated images in your blog or posts here. It's an immediate Unfollow for me.

Oh man one of my bus routes takes me past a local high school right at the time that school lets out & I have to believe this is some kind of divine punishment for being an Annoying Teenager On Public Transit, myself.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University.
(And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.)
