Thanks you! I'll try to get there.

Thanks! Sounds great. (Do you know if any of these places seat outdoors? It's a constant battle to try to stay Covid safe in the colder months -- restaurants sometimes will allow me to put one table outside. Sometimes not.)

I probably don't need pizza while I'm out here (as a native Brooklynite, I have Big Feelings About Pizza), but thanks for the rest of these. I'll check them out.

I'm surprised to see a hotel restaurant getting a nod. I'm used to hotel food being mediocre -- not the case here?

As a NYer, a former Village Voice writer who had my first Media Watch column in the much-missed feminist newspaper, Sojourner:

1) yes;

2) I really, REALLY want an old red Voice newspaper box. Been hunting for years. Not a repro--a real one that proudly weathered snow and rats on the street.

Ha! Reminds me of when I ran media trainings and told activists to imagine that NYT, WaPo, or local paper reported on their cause/work in ideal way -- then, write the headline & lede of that story.

1st group wrote fantasy text as if living in utopia.

I had to clarify: IRL, actual news coverage!

I mean, if cats of Bsky had ceased being cute I'd have major questions.

All hail fellow book nerds!

I'm ✈️ now, was planning to text you tonight! I'd love to see you again this trip. Maybe another seafood dinner? My weekends are spoken for w/my nieces, but I don't leave until Dec 8 so I'll have some weekdays free. (Haven't finalized much yet.)

Staying in a free empty house this time= longer visit.

2/2 PS: I finished writing & describing the visuals for the book in early 2024, or I'd have used that chryon in a panel in the framing or disinformation chapters (sneak peek 👇).

Back end process of graphic novels is lengthy, but stay tuned for pre-order links from @23rdstbooks.bsky.social!

Excellent!! Please feel free to tell her that I'm happy to brainstorm with her even before the graphic novel comes out if she needs support teaching media literacy.

LOVE to hear it! What grades does she teach? This is aimed at adults, w/strong potential for YA/young adult readers.

I'd love to get the book in high school classrooms. (Maaaaybe precocious younger teens?) That's why--even as a native NYer--I limited profanity except for a few impt media quotes.

I'll try to remember! But it's going to be a while before the link is available. (Never fear, I'll be plastering it everywhere once it's ready.)

I really hope it can be useful to as many people as possible. I truly believe we wouldn't be enduring fascism if we were a media literate nation.
