Honest #Author life talk. One day, you get pictures from a Western #Massachusetts school with kids dressed up, inspired by your @mcbareading.bsky.social visit. The next you get an email saying "you're not one of the top 25 kids authors who offered to come to Western MA for free." #keepwriting

If you're in #CT or adjacent states, this is gonna be a great un-conference. This will be a third time attending and every year, I leave feeling energized by the community of authors and educators!

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖
A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

Thank you @shawnpeterswrites.bsky.social for sharing the LOGAN FOSTER series w/our school’s 5th graders on #WorldReadAloudDay! They were so engaged in the story & enjoyed asking you questions about writing, too. We've got a long hold list going now for both books. #mglit #TLSky #schoollibrary

#WRAD was an absolute blast yesterday and I was left happily exhausted by the end of the day. But then I received this from one of the #educators I visited with and it's everything an author ever hopes for when they write for kids. #kidlitsky #EduSky #TLSky #LibSky 🥹🥹🥹

WORLD READ ALOUD DAY! #WRAD is always the best day of the year. Was able to take off a half-day from the day job and fit in 10 different classroom visits in 4 hours. Hot tea and plenty of energy is a must for all these amazing classes. #KidLitSky #EduSky thanks to @katemessner.com for all you do!

auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · Jan 27
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

A House bill in Alabama targeting librarians narrowly missed becoming law last session.

History has shown that prosecuting librarians or educators is one of the hallmarks of an oppressive regime that seeks to control knowledge and suppress dissent.

I try to run some mornings before I write because I find it clears my head.

Today, it froze my face instead.
