I started a blog substack.com/@svtworks , did some reflecting and there was much to be grateful for that led me to my kidlit journey and connected me with creatives (and of course books).
Also the blogging is an exercise to tell quick stories and have fun doodling. It's a catchall -after coffee.

Abolish ICE.
Defund all these fascists.
As masked federal agents target street vendors on Canal Street, THE CITY watched one street vendor being detained.

As the operation carried on, agents were confronted with a spontaneous crowd of protesters.

Is there anyone in the uk kidlit community who would be up for helping me organise a fundraiser/auction for #KeepEyesOnSudan? I can't organise my way out of a paper bag but I can shout about things and persuade authors and illustrators to donate stuff #UKKidlit #KidLitUK

Thread. This is horrifying. I hadn't even *thought* about unscrupulous professors using AI to generate text books and *teaching students incorrect/false material* which said students will then *go out into the world believing and ACTING on*. In a medical or care field, this is truly terrifying. 😳
This woman is in a nursing program & the entire textbook for her anatomy class is wrong because it was written by a professor who used chatgpt to generate the images & possibly the text. She complained to the prof, then the universityβ€” they’ve done NOTHING about it.

Just FYI for anyone unaware, a bunch of official US gov accts showed up on bsky and they're all spewing MAGA propaganda. I checked and blocked all of these. You should, too!

Block fascists. There's no reasoning or arguing with them, you might as well debate with spoiled leftovers. Don't let them bait you. Block fast, block often, block fascists. Let their accounts mummify.

In honor of Joe Sinnott's birthday, I'd like to share this classic story by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, Jack Kirby, and Joe Sinnott.

Sixty-three years ago, Doctor Don Blake found the hammer of Thor, and fought "The Stone Men From Saturn!"

I think what disappoints me about Banned Books Week is that it's a campaign of bottled awareness that disappears the other 51 weeks of the year. We are supposed to react with shock and dismay when we learn books are banned. What we need are anger and refusal.
Just a reminder that Banned Books Week isn’t about selling more copies of 1984. It’s about keeping authors and teachers and librarians safe and making sure all of us have the freedom to read widely. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

An illustrator alerted me to the attached email. Someone is impersonating me! Offering #kidlit illustrators fake deals!

This is not me! The deal-structure/schedule is insane. The deadline is quite friendly?! 10 picture books in 3 years?!

Please let me know if you receive an email like this!
