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.

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.

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.

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.
maris.bsky.social Maris Kreizman @maris.bsky.social Β· 14d
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?!
