Eastern Australian humpback whale population now well above pre-whaling levels, report finds - ABC News 🦑🧪🌎
These whales were hunted to 150 individuals. Now there's 50,000 of them
Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is now greater than before whaling.

I have never cared about a Taylor Swift album and I'm not starting now, no matter how panned it might be.

Persistence trumps talent. So does glass-eating.

(Though I think the true secret sauce is glass-eating AND listening to feedback. I'll never be as big as Todd, but I do have nine - soon to be 10 - trad-pubbed picture books that benefitted from both.)

If Chicago wanted to make those Texas soldiers feel at home, they'd wait for a blizzard, then turn off all the power and go to Cancun for the weekend.

THE LIBRARIANS @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social is a *must-see.*

Thanks to @ifla.org Met Lib for the private screening at Toronto Reference Library.

Terrifying, deeply moving. I know several of the librarians & recognized books by many #KidLit #YALit friends. 😢

Panel discussion taking place in a conference room with four speakers seated on stage in front of an audience. A large screen beside them displays a slide that reads, “America’s war on books is more than a war on words. THE LIBRARIANS. Directed by Kim A. Snyder.” The slide also shows several film festival logos.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?
