Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate!

My ink and watercolor illustration inspired by the story of Chicken Licken, who thought the sky was falling. This scene shows Chicken Licken telling all the other fowl; Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, Turkey Lurkey, Ducky Lucky and Goose Loosey that the sky is falling and they must tell the king. © Diana Ting Delosh

For those who celebrate Eat-Everything-You-Can Day, otherwise known as Thanksgiving, I hope you enjoy the day.

I plan on spending some time away from news & SM and appreciate what I have. I am thankful for so much and must remember those things as the world around us churns with chaos.

Kidlit community, nothing fills me with self-doubt and disappointment more than these annual best of the year lists.

If you’re feeling blue, remember it’s subjective, and this year I’m seeing very few of my faves (the ones I didn’t work on) recognized.

Let’s all raise a glass to the unlisted!

Do you like zombies + science? I wrote a book about that! It's perfect for anyone who's ever wondered what it takes to mind-control a cockroach, reprogram a spider's web-spinning, or make a cricket jump into water to drown 🧪

And it's 40% off at @hopkinspress.bsky.social, now through 12/7 (HHOL25)!

I liked this post a week ago, but every time it resurfaces in my timeline I wish I could like it 100 more times

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.
