Zelenskyy has really raised the credibility of comedians, but also given the world a wildly misleading bar for what most of us are capable of.
A guy who used to be a comedian & is good at improv and dealing with hecklers and who has also spent the last 3 years in a war zone turns out to be a guy you can’t out-alpha, imagine that

When you're reading an early copy of a friend's book and you write to them midway because you can't wait to tell them how much you love it. THAT. @maisiechanwrites.bsky.social #KidLitUK #UKKidlit

A new booklist drops today!—Christmas in Japanese Literature. Almost two dozen translated books with notable Christmas-related scenes. Everything from cozy coffee books to bloody thrillers à la Ryu Murakami.
Look for an upcoming episode on the subject in the next week or so.

Another ‘best of’ list to completely disregard due to the lack of children’s or young adult books. Honestly, did they not learn from the savaging I gave their last list 🙄 vm.tiktok.com/ZGd2pB2fx/

Does anyone have any book recommendations aimed at teens/young adults that deal with the topic of misogyny? Also some that are written for educators aimed at tackling the issues at the root of this epidemic we're seeing online.

If you want kids to love reading - LET THEM READ THINGS THEY LOVE! The books we love when we're young are the ones that make us readers, and choice is a right that every reader should have. Never take it away from them! #literacy #reading #kidlit #books

I stopped really using Twitter a while ago, & I grieved the loss of a community I built there. Now I'm ready to try to rebuild it 😊

Finally made the move over from Twitter. I hope I'm able to build a community again. I've missed my educator network.
