"Having taught for over a decade has given me the unique honor of being a part of hundreds of students’ lives—and the pain of realizing that not all of those lives will be as long as I would wish."

Essay: Since I was a teenager, I’ve jumped at any opportunity to watch Jean Valjean break parole, Fantine dream a dream and Javert swear by the stars, Karen Wilfrid writes. She’s seen “Les Mis” 14 times, but it was the most recent one, a high school production, that took her by surprise.

After I was born, my mom went from being strong and active to bedridden when exposed to everyday chemicals. 35 years later, I set out to learn why—and found that the condition’s leading researcher had a fascinating story of her own. I profiled her for Wired: www.wired.com/story/multip...

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

🐳🧨Book news! Instead of fireworks, the only thing I’ll be blowing up today is the whale I’m drawing in this book.

Huge thanks to my editor Kristin at Norton and my agent Lauren for believing in this silly book that is very much a real reflection of me. #sciart #marinelife #kidlit
Publishers Marketplace Deal Report. Category: Children’s Picture Books. July 2, 2025. Skylaar Amann’s EXPLODING WHALES IS NOT RECOMMENDED, based on the real-life event in Oregon in which a town facing the distressing problem of a dead whale on the beach decides the only way to properly handle it is by blowing it up—with woefully unforeseen consequences, to Kristin Allan’s at Norton Young Readers, for publication in winter 2027, by Lauren Scovel at Laura Gross Agency (world).
