This is easily the 100th batch of marshmallows my 25+ year old mixer has handled with ease. Full speed ahead!

I really wish people in #kidlit would stop switching over to substack NOW really???? Ugh. I'm unsubscribing, sorry.

Everyone sat around talking about how these people were incredibly stupid and then they managed to successfully implement large swathes of the plan that they all told us they were going to execute and you really have to wonder who is the stupid in this equation

Monday #kidlit check-in: Holiday Edition. Low goals this week. I'm updating my snail mail pub list (no small task), and hopefully writing and sketching a bit before cookies and Christmas take over (a good thing, really). How about you?

That's a wrap, folks. Friday #kidlit check-in: I made a new snail mail postcard to send out in 2026, signed a contract, had a virtual call with 3rd graders, and sketched a bit. How about you?

Not every day you run into a King Eider. This male is about a year out from his full adult plumage. Next year his bill will protrude to give a square headed look and he'll start to get green coloration around the eye. 🌿🪶📷

A gentle reminder if you've received an invoice from a Freelancer/Self employed person which is due before Christmas.

Be a love, and pay it today.

EXCITING NEWS! After a long journey, the story is finally written, and now it’s becoming a book!

This book is a call to action for a generation growing up in an increasingly polarized world: to see beyond appearances, and to choose connection over judgment.

Thank you @kterrette.bsky.social! ❤️

I know a lot of people are starting to log out for the holidays, so while we're all still here, I just want to share an important annual reminder from Comic Book Dad that you are awesome --

Barely making it to the end of the year, but still showing up ✨
I don’t have the energy to decorate the tree myself, so these cute little characters are doing it for me.
Happy holidays and belated celebrations to everyone who’s celebrating! 🎄❄️
