I just got a public death threat from a few folks who noticed I am doing a library event to talk about my career and my books. They called me all the familiar names, then “I won’t be sad if someone shoots her in the face.” And a woman’s reply, “Right between the eyes.”

I am a children’s author.

One simple trick for GOP members of Congress who are—or claim to be—disgusted by the administration’s stance on Russia and Ukraine is to switch parties and become Democratic members of Congress.

What if, instead of talking to children the way adults talked to us in the past, we said to children the things we wished adults would have said to us?

I hope you're all doing okay. Don't forget to take a moment to breathe. Take in beauty with your in breath. Share beauty with your out breath. Make art. Hug someone wonderful. Sit in the sunshine. Drink water. Read a good book. Don't forget to have some lunch. Love yourself. Love the world.

Elon Musk's DOGE team of misfits have fired everybody at the Federal Aviation Administration ✈️ who is a probationary employee

Thinking they have got rid of all the new hires

It turns out many of these were experienced technicians, recently promoted and were on probation for their new senior role

Dear Senator
I am writing as a constituent, former FAA air traffic controller (26 years) and current Airline Transport rated commercial pilot. On Friday, hundreds of FAA technicians and engineers were terminated. These technicians and engineers maintain every piece of equipment that keeps flying safe, from the radars to the ILS, to ATC automation. They were identified as "probationary" and there is a reasonable speculation that Al was used to "find" probationary employees, assuming that meant that they were new hires. That is not an accurate assumption. A newly hired federal employee is probationary and may be subject to at will termination, but the term
"probationary" is also applied to promotions, to describe not that you are a probationary employee, but if the promotion or transfer is not successful, the employee would return to the pre-promotion position. That allows the government to retain needed expertise.
However, even that is not the case in these positions as workers were indeed succeeding in their new roles.

We’re all angry and worried and maybe some don’t feel like creating or no longer feel like it matters, but keep writing, painting, dancing, making music, making art. Not doing the things that bring you joy—not making art—doesn’t help. Do what you love harder than ever.
