The GOP’s plan would gut Medicaid—kicking people off with lifetime caps, slashing funding, forcing impossible work rules, and shifting costs to struggling states. Millions will suffer, from seniors to families to people with disabilities. Hands off my Medicaid!

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

I’ve been looking at some of the big publisher X accounts and trying to spread the word that the engagement is next to nothing there. This account has a quarter of a million followers. They might as well be yelling their content out a window. #kidlitchat

I've always loved "Millions of Cats," so am pleased to see that The Whitney is celebrating Wanda Gag's life and work in a current exhibition.

'Millions of Cats,' oldest American picture book still in print, and...
The Whitney is currently running the exhibition Wanda Gág's World to showcase the work of the famed Manhattan artist, author and illustrator, who died in 1946 at the age of 53.

I want to adopt Sir George (spent my formative years on a farm in the Midwest, so it's nostalgic), but the current HOA won't allow it. However, there's a neighbor complaining about roosters crowing (though there are none!) which means I'm tempted to cock-a-doodle-do every now and then. Is that OK? 😜

I tucked an Emily Dickinson quote into a PB MS. It will either turn out to be an oh-so-clever or a kill-your-darlings choice. The jury is still out... although it did result in a request for more work from an agent. So we'll see... #kidlitchat
TOPIC: It's National Poetry Month. What are some of your favorite novels in verse? Rhyming picture books? Poetic writing? Do you use any poetry references/resources as you work? Please share! #kidlitchat

My art selfie painted after seeing a post on IG by Davide Ortu Illustration to celebrate our existence against the rise of AI & remind us that art is the manifestation of the human soul & we are irreplaceable. #IAmAHumanArtist
