Amazing speech by @hcrichardson.bsky.social on the 250 year anniversary of Paul Revere’s ride and all of the other people who were a part of it. She writes about how little things can add up to impact history.

“Welcome to Wonderland,” the theme for scbwi Illinois Spring meeting.

Here’s a tweaked version of my submission to the masthead contest for the meeting.

Looking forward to a great meeting!

In honor of tonight’s time change.

Now, Fall’s Time retreats.
Crouches in early darkness.
Please leave Time alone.
