So touched that @debbieohi.com did this for me! So touched that my team celebrated me in this way. SO THRILLED to work with the best people in the business doing something that we all love so dearly. Can wait to see what happens on my 40th!

Honoured to draw my Simon & Schuster Children's editor @jpchanda.bsky.social for a surprise gift from JP's co-workers to help celebrate his 20th year working at S&S! See I'M BORED (by @michaelianblack.bsky.social & me) in the top row. 🩷

Continue to feel lucky to be working with Justin. #KidLit

I need folks to understand how hard it is for me as an Islanders fan to root for the Oilers.

Wow. The @nytimes.com finding brand new ways to show they’ve lost all journalistic integrity. GFOH.

but what are we DOING about it??? Does this story disappear in two days unlike the countless years of Benghazi and her emails?? Without a Fox News drumming away this stuff just rolls off their backs.

Yesterday I finally made it to the Peloton NY studios to take a live ride. It was my 4000th. Got to meet the incredible Hannah Frankson and all the great folks at Peloton. A pretty great day. #Blueskyhealthclub
