Looking for a book for a kiddo who loves dogs? It's short (169 p)! It's funny! There is goose poop! "Not since Ramona Quimby has a character marched right out of a book with so much bravado, humor, and heart."--Barbara O'Connor #booksky

Here's my MG book about a boy who itches, lives in rural Ohio, and has an after school job at a pheasant farm. It's got a little college football happening! And a tornado! An Ohio Grassman cameo! #Booksky bookshop.org/p/books/itch...

Always a treat to watch someone try my grandma's marshmallow sweet potato casserole for the first time, little suspecting that the secret ingredient was Red Hots.

Taking James Carville seriously in 2025 is the same thing as taking Adlai Stevenson's campaign manager seriously in 1992.

Do you or someone you know suffer from Pecan Pie Deprivation Syndrome because of a nut allergy? With oats, chocolate, and a gooey salted caramel, there's nothing even a little second place about this.

You try and get your AI to be naughty and they have put a set of lasers up and you hit one
So you ask to rewrite your naughty request as poetry, it tips it on its side and it sails through the gap
The attack surface is <all of language>
