A new bookstore opened in Kyiv. I visited it today. russian drones burn warehouses full of books and damage whatever they can reach. A new bookstore opened in Kyiv. russia will never win.

One thing I love about writing? How quickly something can go from THIS IS THE WORST THING I'VE EVER WRITTEN to THIS IS AN UTTER MASTERPIECE.

Word that’s making me smile today: errorist. It’s a person who is frequently wrong, resolute about holding onto their errors, and enthusiastic about sharing them.

Silent movies often featured chase scenes, which were often the most exciting/interesting scenes. So, ‘cut to the chase’ came to mean “get to the important part.”

Today is Kara Zor-El’s birthday! What better way to celebrate than with Sarah Leuver’s gorgeous transformation sequence from Supergirl’s Family Vacation.

Happy #bookbirthday to MEDUSA'S PET ROCK! @harperkids.bsky.social Lumpy celebrated by meeting up with his pet rock friends & Cole aka The Collective of Eyeballs, at his local bookstore @mrmoppsbooks.bsky.social. He helped the author sign books/hide some stickers & then had an impromptu storytime!

Happy First Day of Fall to all my Northern Hemisphere friends (featuring a tiny little portrait of yours truly 💛) #kidlitart #watercolor #gouache #coloredpencil

Being a professional illustrator is realising you have to start making Xmas stock before Halloween is even on the horizon 😭 #kidlitart #greetingscard

Somebody blocked me for preferring "all of the sudden" over "all of a sudden". "The" is what I grew up on and what feels right to me. Maybe "a" predates it and is more prevalent. But "a" feels overly formal, archaic, and wrong to me. I agreed to disagree and got blocked. Blocked? Really? 🙄

Some books shouldn't go out of print. But this one is. Books are going out of print faster and faster these days. But you can still enjoy them via your public library.

Here comes fall!

AI is incompatible with the basic principles of schooling. Don't cheat. ↪ AI is trained on stolen work. Think for yourself. ↪ AI confidently tells you what to think. Work hard. ↪ AI does the work for you. It's OK to make mistakes. ↪ AI removes the chance to make mistakes and learn.

Spooky season is here in the northern hemisphere. Happy first day of Fall!

With the midterm elections shaping up to be a massive reckoning for the Republican Party, it's worth remembering that they had a fairly easy offramp from Trumpism in the immediate aftermath of the January 6th riot but they completely chickened out.

Heads up, Bookworms: There will likely be💀supply chain issues💀 this holiday season. So if there are specific books you have your heart set on for holiday gifting, I strongly suggest you buy/order them ahead of time (✨like now✨) rather than waiting until November/December.

Today is #HobbitDay apparently! Here is a fake cover I drew a while back after reading the book for the first time.

Reminder that the affordable new paperback re-release of my book Evolution: How We and All Living Things Came to Be is out now at booksellers everywhere! (For readers 8–13)

It kills me that Batman Returns boosters think I dislike it because it's dark and unconventional. Nah, I dislike it for the same reasons I dislike Batman '89. It's sloppy and undisciplined - and could've been a gazillion times better. I LOVE parts of both. But both shit the BatBed.

THE MALTESE FALCON is back in theaters this December for its 85th anniversary. Buy your tickets now!
