I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.
and it's #kidlitartpostcard day! hoping the April showers lately will soon turn into flowers! I need sun! I'm based in Vancouver & rep'd by the wonderful @janinele.bsky.social 🪻would love to do more books but also book covers!! 💛 🌷 aprilmilne.com #kidlit #illustration #kidlitart

it is absolutely thrilling to watch nominations come in for the Le Guin Prize but there's one thing I want to say one more time: middle grade and YA novels are eligible for this prize! I would really love to see more nominations come from those categories
