This was a good read.
Btw, did you know that after Joyce Carol Oates posted this Elon responded that she's a liar and then he immediately began going under film posts and replying "Great movie".
I'm not even joking. 😂

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

The trappings of the times we live in change, but the antidote is always, always, always going to be kindness, chosen family, compassion, and folks taking care of each other. In that respect, my themes around them don't change much at all. #kidlitchat
TOPIC: We just had a time change and, as always, times are changing, too. Do you keep an eye on trends? How do they inform how you work? And what trends are you noticing in the kidbook biz these days? #kidlitchat

#KidLitChat The main form/genre I observe is MG verse novel. And I do notice trends sometimes. Like we just had something like 3 or 4 different MG NIV with forest fire related stories. Each one was distinct. And they could all be read without feeling like you were getting the same story.

Equine specialist told me P-horses don't just look primitive, they're so fierce she wouldn't enter their paddock w/o the kind of shield used w big cats #horses #wildhorses #endangeredspecies
There's are less than 5000 Przewalski's horses in the world, probably less than 2500, most in zoos. Ukraine is one of a handful of places in the world where they are still found in the wild. #horses #endangeredspecies
A rare encounter in Ukraine: a domestic horse meets the wild Przewalski’s horse.

It's Tuesday so it's #kidlitchat day here on Bluesky (at 9 PM Eastern/6 PM Pacific). I mean, IYKYK, but if you don't yet know, this is an hour of chat with your #kidlit friends (some of whom you know and some you don't yet know, you know?). Now you know! I hope you join us then. (But you knew that.)

How many months -- years? -- will my longing to have known her last? You did such good in the world, Jane. #JaneGoodall
An inspiration for my entire life.
Thank you Jane, for your wisdom, your intelligence, your heart, and your sheer guts.
We'll try to carry on and make you proud.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.
Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.
Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.
