Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day!

I’m an author-illustrator whose favorite season is Fall and who loves a good pun. 😉 You can see more of my work at diandramae.com. (I do not have representation.)

From what I can parse about seeing videos of people opening cans and findings beets instead of green beans, Del Monte has a lot of panicked/frustrated home cooks to answer to. 🫢

My sister @briespangler.bsky.social has a new etsy shop! She's a professional illustrator and is doing pet designs

Also she's been staying with us and for unknown reasons she added two dog shirts to the store, no idea why, these dogs certainly don't look familiar to me

Many years ago, I was feeling stressed by the state of the world and I started a Holiday Fairies thing where people sent me their wishlists and I publicized them to try to get everyone gifts for the holidays.

@shelflove.bsky.social skillfully took it over and made it An Actual Thing!

Like SRSLY!

It is so, so good, y’all.
Reminder to add TOKYO GODFATHERS to your Christmas movie watchlist this season! Grateful to have given (English, dubbed) voice to the trans anime icon, our beloved Hana, in this Satoshi Kon holiday classic from @gkids.com! Watch it for free on Tubi or rent it on AppleTV!

Mixed things up this year, and made Sally’s Crumble Pie. 10/10, it’s been requested again for next year. 😋

Thanksgiving is problematic. Giving thanks is not. As someone who wants to remember the attempted genocide of indigenous people but also likes a reminder to practice gratitude, I like to use Indigenous People's Month to support (and be grateful for) indigenous creators. A partial list! /1

As you we head into gift-getting season, Black Friday right around the corner, please try to shop small where you can. It literally means the world to small business owners when you do so.

I know a lot of folks hate on the 2016 Ghostbusters movie, but my family loves it. Kate McKinnon as Holtzmann is worth the watch alone.

🎁 For this holiday season, consider gifting COLOR TASTE TEXTURE! It’s a great primer for people of all ages with little to no experience cooking. If you have some neurodivergent friends and family, or parents of littles, they might love this! It’s not just a cookbook, it’s a new approach to food. 🎁
I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.
Color Taste Texture by Matthew Broberg-Moffitt: 9780593538593 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
An accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques.....

There are certain appointments that become routine once you hit a certain age, but I'll never get over how surreal it is to be chatting about Thanksgiving dishes with a Radiology Tech, as almost 20 pounds of pressure is applied in various angles to my chest. 😅👍

There’s an account on TT (Not B Dylan Hollis) where the trained chef husband, makes these classic & sometimes obscure Midwestern recipes found in church cookbooks, you know the ones with the spiral binding?
They sound so wacky, tomato soup bars or apple juice pie, but they turn out well.

Literally the *flames on the side of my face* gif when I first watched it. 😤
We shouldn't be fighting about American pies, we need to unite against the common enemy: Paul Hollywood in the American Pies episode of GBBO.

It's from one of the early seasons and one of the great pleasures is seeing other Americans experience it and become enraged.
