Hi, I’m Annie Cardi, a YA author from the Greater Boston area. I have two young kids and a dog, and I also have a full-time day job. I like the bridge in “No Diggity” when they go “Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo…” and want to throw my hands up in the air every time I hear it.

Hi, I'm John Moe, a writer and podcast maker in Saint Paul. I am married with three mostly grown kids and two nice dogs. I like in "Misunderstood" when Tweedy throws in extra syllables on "Take the guitar player for a ride". Would you like to introduce yourself with a small song moment you like?

One day, this publisher's name will be a distant memory that no longer brings me intense frustration. That day is not today. If you're an Albert Whitman author who has a book in the Anthropic case, you should go check your email in case they're trying to claim 100% of the $$ for your books too.

My neighbor's friend: [to the car parked in my neighbor's driveway] "Hey, who's from Pennsylvania?" My neighbor: "Oh, I'm hosting two professional women's hockey players. They're here for two months while they're training." My neighbor continues to be a wealth of surprises and coolness.

My dad says having me as a kid was more intense than being in law school (complimentary) because I’d Socratic method him over Cheerios. Now having a 3yo feels like being in the most intense method-based acting class because she expects me to be in character for imaginative play at any time of day.

Elsa’s father: “Elsa, what have you done?!” Me: “Get fucked!” I don’t actually shout this every time my 3yo watches Frozen but I always want to. That guy sucks.

ALA is heartbroken at the passing of country music legend and literacy champion Dolly Parton. Her Imagination Library initiative, inspired by her father's inability to read or write, has put millions of books into children's hands and was considered by her to be among her greatest achievements.

Reasons why I prefer to go grocery shopping myself instead of outsourcing to an app: - I know exactly which tomatoes I want - yeah I will get the croissants - I get to see a grandpa and a baby in the cart, him letting her hold and apple and gently examine it.

Went into the office yesterday and was going from the T to the commuter rail. On the other side of the stairs, there was a woman who was helping her toddler walk down the stairs while also carrying the stroller. Immediately another guy said "I got you" and helped carry the stroller down.
