If I could be allowed a mild tech geekout?
I was so honored to do a Scholastic Story Voice event this morning and share mine and @charlenedraws.bsky.social's "Things That Go Bump In The Day" with classrooms around the US. It was great fun! 🧵

The little person who was always wildly excited for the Scholastic order forms to show up in her classroom is doing laps on the ceiling right now. #kidlit #kidlitauthor @charlenedraws.bsky.social

This 8 year old FB memory came up this morning. Annoyed that Cheeto in Chief has been a figure in my children's lives for so long.

Also, loved seeing the Frederick Book Arts space for the first time! I love printmaking and getting to see all the old (and still functional!) presses and typesettings was fascinating!

Had a great evening working for @curiousiguana.com— listening to @almakatsu.bsky.social and @jamieflanagan.com talk about horror, the differences between screen and novel writing and what they’re most enjoying in entertainment right now!

I don’t know about other bookstores, but our “solvable crime” books like ‘Murdle’ go flying out the door so fast, amateur sleuths are BOUND to want to test their dedication skills against this gorgeous mystery by @maureenjohnsonbooks.com and @jaycooper.bsky.social!

In the last two years, HBO has axed TONS of successful shows that were much more popular that “And Just Like That” because they were queer or POC led with 0 melodramatic outcry in mainstream media, so forgive me if for the extreme side eye at “murdered.” 🙄

I've always been proud of this event in my hometown. It's brought academics, scientists, statespersons, authors and artists to enrich and educate the community. Inviting a "certified research medium" is an ungodly insult to every one of the people who have spoken at this event before. #frederickmd
