To scare away the PTA, a single mom claims to be a witch. When displays of roadkill and pentagrams appear at school, she’s the main suspect. To clear her name, she works with the asst principal to find the culprit, but they struggle to keep their eyes (and hands) off each other. #roundtablementor #R

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

I told a college student he needed to avoid using second-person pronouns in his essay. He looked around the room, then at me. “Uhh, I’m a dude.”

somewhere in the US there’s a white lady avoiding trans fat because she thinks that’s fat they put in the food to make people trans.

For querying writers: I did a critiques today for an SCBWI conf & got questions about what kind of books you can cite as comps, & I think it’s worth distinguishing between *pitching* comps and *selling* comps. A brief 🧵:

Someone else's success in the publishing industry doesn't diminish your own chance of success. Boost fellow writers and illustrators. Try very hard not to compare yourself to others (I struggle with this, too). Focus on finding your own joy at your own pace. #Uplift

Found object art featuring two crumpled chocolate bar wrappers. Each wrapper has been placed on a white piece of paper, with black ink lines added to create two dancing figures. Mood is one of joy. Art by Debbie Ridpath Ohi.

Lots of brilliant takeaways about the election results from folks way smarter than me, but I can’t help but feel relief and joy at the idea that maybe most people don’t suck, after all

Queries would be great!

I’d love to see something on comps, first paragraphs, classifying/defining sub-genres, or pitches.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

She hides her true desires to survive.
He hides his alien form behind human skin.
Beneath Vegas lights, their union burns through the lies,
forcing them to choose whether to keep hiding or be seen for everything they are.
