I hadn't actually heard about this book until now but it sounds like it has such a great message, so I'll pick it up for my kids. I feel so bad for the authors, their visit was canceled when they were already there and ready to present
If you and your children are not ready for a particular book, that is okay. It is not okay to limit the access to books, stories, and experiences for other families. Every book is not for everyone, but every book is for someone.

Why Did These Authors Have Their School Visit Canceled? They Were Talking About Their Book About Book Bans.
Country Club Elementary School in California's Bay Area canceled an author visit moments before it began. Why? It covered book bans.

Happy #PortfolioDay I'm a Canadian artist seeking representation and open to picture book, and middle grade projects. I enjoy working in gouache, and also work digitally.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day! I had hoped to share a finished new piece I've been working on but I've been busy prepping to teach a painting class in my usual time slot I reserve for illustration work. I'm teaching it this weekend so it was crunch time. This is a bit older but works for October 😁

I think a group of nuthatches should be called a traffic jam, because they make little beep sounds.

Artists, if you see this, post something RED!
This is from a while back but fits the season I suppose!

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day! Seeking representation, and open to PB and MG projects! I didn't get a chance to finish anything new for today, I have a few WIPs so next month! But I didn't use the right tag on this one last time, so this still sort of counts? Excited to see everyone's art!

youtube.com/watch?v=Qwpa... I cried a few times throughout this. Keep caring about Gaza, and doing what you can even if little. Also the title is just a springboard for conversation, Ms. Rachel has been a vocal advocate and beautiful human being. There's a lot to this video, very well thought out.

I found this fabric at value village for like 10 bucks, and also found an unused sewing pattern from the 80's for a button-up shirt and wrap shorts set there as well. This is the result of sewing it up! I find thrifting fabric really fun, it feels like treasure hunting. #sewing #sewingksy

Duck duck go is becoming a nice alternative, I find it better for searching for information about things I want to learn in general
DuckDuckGo has added a feature to filter out AI images from search results.

Insomnia tip! When I’m awake at night feeling my stomach churn, I look at my own fed and beloved kid and give money to Pcrf.net

Someone claimed the reason for this statement is to promote my own individual achievement (It was all ME!). This totally misses the mark.
This statement shows worker solidarity & rejects tech that steals labor (esp from the Global South), heats the climate, reproduces racism & causes env injustices

Yesterday I used this "AI -Free Statement" in a conference talk for the first time. Still trying to figure out the exact language.
Feel free to borrow, modify, etc.

Finished this book a week ago but it's still on my mind. Definitely a heavy but beautiful read. A book about a woman who can time travel into her past and an all woman cult that forms around her, and about her son, his daughter, and intergenerational trauma. It's honestly a bit surreal. 💙📚 #booksky
