I somehow ended up with 3 copies of the Folio Society's Howl's Moving Castle collection (poorly coordinated birthday presents...)
I would love to trade them with someone who wants them.
Will trade for particularly beautiful or unique children’s classics, in any language. Make me an offer!

Used the word AMANUENSIS w my dad the other day to describe one of my kids, who was stirring the fudge (for 35 minutes!), + my dad asked if I could spell it. "Of course not," I said, "but I can tell you I what book learned it from."
It was ON FORTUNE'S WHEEL by Cynthia Voigt (read 30 +/- yrs ago?)

Lovely article. I have never really understood why people like games - I just enjoy their enjoyment. But this explains it beautifully. ‘Games offer structure, shared goals and an alibi if conversation dwindles to silence.’

#MonoKubo was a young Japanese illustrator who created an imaginary world. Her illustrations depicted a life where gentle giant animals share a harmonious relationship with humans. She was greatly inspired by Studio Ghibli. She struggled with mental health issues and died in 2022 at age 27.

When men rage, they blow and shoot things up and start wars.
When women rage, we create.
We knit, do embroidery and cross stitch. We create new things ... while we figure out how to fix the broken things.

Forget “Wicked”: what I’m looking forward to is Volshebnik Izumrudnova Goroda - a new cinematic adaptation of the Russian Wizard of Oz!
I hope there will be some way to stream or view this in the West.

Sure, social media has its downsides, but I cannot say enough good things about being able to see everybody's pets without having to leave my house or speak to a human first, really just knocked that one out of the park

I think some people really cannot fathom that media can be well made and enjoyable and also be for children at the same time. You can like the same things kids like without needing to justify it. It's ok!

This is important. It's no big deal to me that Bluesky totally ripped off everything Twitter is because that place now sucks so bad. But we don't need a new word for a micro-post of a nature we all understand to be a thing. Like podcast started from iPod, tweet is now just a generic. This is a tweet
When I say tweet here I mean it like I would say Kleenex for any tissue or chapstick for any lip balm
