3 months from now you’re going to be seeing one of those DEA massive drugs haul photos except it’s hundreds of bales of uncut Kerrygold
Tariffs: Pound of Irish butter in US could exceed $11
A standard 454g packet of Kerrygold could end up costing $11.45 (€10.42) on American supermarket shelves because of planned 20% tariffs, reports Agriculture Correspondent Aengus Cox.

🚨 Your House representative is now back home through February 23.

That’s where we come in.

With Trump and Elon Musk pulling off a billionaire coup in real time, this congressional recess is about turning up the heat like never before. Let’s get to work: indivisi.org/muskorus

Help me #kidlit fam - I’m talking to a 4th grade class about #humanrights and would love to bring them a book.

I read a book on the #Holocaust in 6th grade in the 1990s. It had a pink border on the cover and it changed my life. I went into this field because of that book.

No surprise @debbieohi.com is the best thing on #bleusky! So thankful she’s helping set up the space for writers. If you haven’t checked out her feeds (or books!) would highly recommend!

Tired of the baby treatment, 5th grader Nina battles her overprotective mom for more independence. She must prove she's grown up enough for more freedom before her mom volunteers to chaperone the 5th grade overnight trip—cementing her status as the class baby forever #2025Pit #MG #GN

Re-reading #TheArtistsWay for the 4th time. Are there any other devotees out there? The morning pages are what stick with me after I read the book, but hoping to hone some other habits this time #5amwritersclub

Just completed revisions to my latest #MG #graphicnovel. While I focus solely on writing (rather than illustration), I'm hoping to find other writers interested in exchanging critiques. I had a critique group for my YA writing but haven't found similar connections in the middle grade community.
