Tip for anyone looking to browse the #kidlitartpostcard hashtag today - the Flashes app lets you view the posted images in chronological order, allowing you to isolate today’s postcards. Instagram does not, mixing in previous months and years. More info: briankirbystudio.com/flashes-for-...

They filmed one of those Christmas romance movies where I live, and I really wish they had power washed this grindstone before they filmed. 😆 #kidlitchat

I have been made aware that people grew up with different words to Jingle Bells Batman Smells and I am trying to come to terms with it. 1/3
