Also! Your Republican rep/senator doesn't necessarily know your party orientation when you call. Just that you're a constituent and you're pissed.

Done! I have talked to people (tbf mostly IRL) who think there's no point calling if their rep is a Republican. Actually, calling my Republican senator is the first thing my congressman's office asked me to do. If they don't hear from anyone they think they're getting away with it!

Defeatism.
I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

Listening to Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. It’s the balm needed for this moment. 💗

I’m over here learning how to weave baskets instead of doom scrolling. My little one declared my first project a “tiny hat”.

Just finished reading “Unschooled” by Kerry McDonald and “Education: A very short introduction” by Gary Thomas
We’d have a very different education system if these were required reading for every parent sending their children to school!

It’s amazing how long we have known this about education!

If you know of someone with a recently launched #KidLit book or one that's launching in the next few wks, pls ask them to keep an eye on my #KidLitLaunches threads & post their book info?
I'm going to keep doing these for another few weeks but if they don't seem to be useful, I'll probably stop. 😁

The artists are here (yay!), but we need to work on getting more #kidlit editors, art directors, and agents to Bluesky. You really can not find all of our art on IG by the hashtag bc it's been hijacked by the algorithm.
Final number by my count, including posts that used a slight variation on #kidlitartpostcard: 413!
Just remembered #kidlitartpostcard is this Thursday! I’ll be browsing them all per usual. Our all time record on Bluesky was 341 postcards. Can we beat it?
