"Writing Sly Foxes was a delight because it allowed me to ask allllll the questions about them: I wrote about the science of foxes, but also about the folklore, the ways humans and foxes interact . . ." @danaalisonlevy.bsky.social mrschureads.blogspot.com/2026/08/sly-...

Oh I’m so excited to read this one

Another review for you: This one a YA adventure. Queer buccaneers on a magical adventure, and since one of the comps was Our Flag Means Death, how could I not give it a try? This voyage into the unknown on a ship full of outsiders is a perfect metaphor for found family.

A New View of the Moon Earth sets over the Moon’s curved limb in this photo captured by the Artemis II crew during their journey around the far side of the Moon. flic.kr/p/2s6971B #Artemis 🧪🔭

I realize I'm so unspeakably moved by the @nasaartemis.bsky.social mission not because of the cutting edge tech or groundbreaking science, cool as it is, but by the unmistakeable humanity of it all. 1/?

Earthset from Artemis II. I am overcome.

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

I haven't been here in a zillion years but I suspect that I can find my community of other people staring nonstop at the @nasaartemis.bsky.social live feed and quietly weeping. Yes? Where are you all??

Friends! I know I have been terrible about updating here, but for #boston area #kidlit pals, please stop by THIS SUNDAY at the Newton Children's Book Fest! I will be so glad to see you! (Also I will post photos of my cats soon)

TOMORROW!!!!! If you are in Cambridge tomorrow evening join us!

Those of us who've been raising the alarm about book bans know we've been in a dire censorship crisis for several years now. We fight back by collectively standing up for the freedom of speech. Join organizations that are already doing the work. Use the power of boycotts. Be loud. Be strong.

For the morning crowd! My next #nonfiction #kidlit #stem book will be out next year, and it’s all about FOXES. Sometimes this job is the best.

Dr. Susan Monarez: “I could have stayed silent, agreed to the demands, and no one would have known. What the public would have seen were scientists dismissed without cause and vaccine protections quietly eroded…I would have lost the one thing that cannot be replaced: My integrity.”

Yeah now is not the time, folks. Come on.

LEAVE. THE GHOST SHIPS. ALONE. www.popsci.com/science/ghos...

The problem with knowing I'll feel better if I reduce sugar is that I also know I'll feel better if I eat a bag of dark chocolate sea salt caramels. The duality of humankind is really messing with me rn

Given the state of things I think this is an entirely reasonable way to spend the night. Or the foreseeable future.

I cannot begin to talk about what’s happening all around us so instead I will say that I just finished @cynleitichsmith.bsky.social and fam’s LEGENDARY FRYBREAD DRIVE-IN and it was a joy. Good medicine indeed. #kidlit

Deeply proud to be a masshole

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu: “Silence in the face of oppression is not an option. The U.S. Attorney General asked for a response by today. So here it is…Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures.”

When we fight, we win. The vast majority of ALL Americans disagree with book banning. So grateful to be a part of @authorsabb.bsky.social (and esp @massaabb.bsky.social) so that we can fight for everyone's right to read freely!

“It’s a complete knockout. There’s not a single issue that the court did not side with the plaintiffs on.” www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/08/13/j...

I can’t speak to the efficacy of the strategy but it’s pretty damn funny. (Unless you start thinking about the level of discourse our felon in chief is actually spouting unironically. Then it’s just another reason to start hyperventilating)

Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social · last yr.

This is A+ trolling

So much frantic energy. So much effort. So many millions and millions of dollars. All to take away rights and cause harm. It’s almost like — and I’m just spitballing here — it was never about the price of groceries.

How we doing, Bluesky fam? Are my #kidlit pals writing? Are folks still making art? Gotta admit that everything feels So. Damn. Heavy. these days, but I’m finding pockets of joy (and maybe attempting a murder-y new WIP) and hey! We have sungold tomatoes and local corn and full moons. Onward.

Stonewall Book Award-winning author @alexgino.bsky.social speaks about why they support Massachusetts' Freedom to Read legislation: because books gave them "language to describe who I was, and knowledge that there were other people like me." #MassFreedomToRead

On Tuesdays we wear black and fight for the freedom to read!!! Glad to be repping @massaabb.bsky.social and #MassFreedomToRead on Beacon Hill this week!

Massachusetts Authors Against Book Bans@massaabb.bsky.social · last yr.

Yesterday members of Massachusetts Authors Against Book Bans delivered testimony at the State House in Boston in support of An Act Regarding Free Expression. Thanks to everyone who came, including members of our #MassFreedomToRead coalition!

Today a crew from @massaabb.bsky.social will be in Boston at the Statehouse, in support of bills H.3594 and S.2328, both titled An Act Regarding Free Expression. This is about the freedom to create, read, and share freely. We cannot do everything, but must try to do SOMETHING.

this should be an essay in the new yorker like asap, tbh

Christian Christensen@chrchristensen.bsky.social · last yr.

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

DREAM TEAM!! Follow these accounts, sign up at the link in my last post, and jump in with us! Let's do this!
