Just learned that my kids' picture book is a winner in the 2025 Children's Book Council Awards (No 1 in the Grade 3 - 5 category). Thank you, @FreeSpiritBooks, Harry Briggs, Christine Zuchora-Walske, and @publicityTCM ... and all the kids who voted.

@catshealdeprsn Researching a new novel and ran across this--Gilded Age socialite Kate Strong turned up at the Vanderbilt costume ball in 1883 wearing a taxidermied cat on her head. No idea if it was her cat. #CatsOfTwitter

Saw this on the news last night. The "Herds" is public art and climate action project to raise awareness of climate change and animal habitats. Eerily beautiful. youtube.com/watch?v=ErOQjt…

Writer @nikostratis never liked the name she was born with. She never quite figured out why, but trying to piece it together not only helped her embrace a new identity but also build a new life. thewalrus.ca/the-ballad-of-…

@RhubbaComedy @DrPopCultureUSA Yup, it is.

@DrPopCultureUSA Tricia Nixon in the middle there?

Thank you so much. Message for aspiring writers--before sending it to @FreeSpiritBooks, I tried a few agents, one of whom said, "I wouldn't know where to send this or what to say about it." Cutest karma ever.

@Selfseeker1980 He’s building a hagiography. He thinks we think this is the 21st century version of Jesus and tax collectors. This is tax collectors Barron and Brand making bank off hanging with Jesus.

@RBrattenWeiss The entire problem with "ancient" love mythology is thinking it's healthy for two individuals to be absorbed into each other. Children are a manifestation of this for straight people, but even those critters are not their parents.
