You owe it to yourself to develop your own interpretation of a text, & there's no shortcut to doing that but sitting & going through all of its words & absorbing them.

Trump has always craved admiration and respect from those who he saw as smarter than him.
Manhattan wouldn’t give it to him, so he went to Silicon Valley.

Deactivated my TT account. X is long gone. Deleted FB messenger. Cut FB most access to my data—might delete. Ig and Threads have daily timers for very limited daily use. Muted certain words and names. Switching to Bluesky and texts if anything. I’m aiming to go offline this year and be present.

We do not need to cede him any more power than he will have tomorrow. He won the popular vote by 1.5%. He did not crack 50% of the overall vote. His win does not mark a sea change in public opinion. He, his policies, and his cronies will be unpopular. Rest up. Take care of yourself. Then...

Okay, made a starter pack of people working in children’s and young adult literature (though possibly I missed the starter pack wave already)! Almost certainly missed some people, so let me know if you’d like to be added or, of course, removed #yalit #kidlit #mglit
