Any “best Star Wars film” discussions that do not take the Ewok movies into account are immediately invalid.

Also, you know I love a client meet-up at Disneyland! I actually read the first draft of @madeleinegunhart.bsky.social's CULL ME, MAYBE sitting on the curb of Main Street waiting for last year's Christmas parade.
And now we have announced the deal! YAY!

Y'ALL. @madeleinegunhart.bsky.social has been with me for years and we've had so many near misses. Last year I told her "Maybe try a cozy fantasy?" and CULL ME, MAYBE was born.
So thrilled for Madeleine and can't wait for more people to read this fantastic book.
AND! This is my first ADULT deal!

Jordan is amazing for many reasons, including her continued flexibility and trust as I try new things. I never thought of myself as a fantasy writer before, but as soon as I started brainstorming CULL ME, MAYBE, I fell in love and everything seemed to click into place.

1. The Trump administration has just quietly updated the State Department website to indicate that it may invalidate transgender people's passports.
This comes a week after a SCOTUS ruling blocking lower rulings allowing trans people to update them.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I think the moment in THE GIVER when Jonas notices the apple change in a way he can’t yet describe or understand legitimately changed the wiring of my 11yo brain.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Architectural critic Herbert Muschamp once wrote, “Seattle’s new Central Library is a blazing chandelier to swing your dreams upon,“ which imo is an apt description of the magic of libraries in general. I’ll never forget the awe I felt exploring this building & its many treasures for the first time.

While they’re still screwing about with SNAP, it’s a good idea to donate to pet shelters, too.
If you dare show up with “poor people shouldn’t have pets”, I will tear such a new one it generates a black hole.

Families on SNAP worry about not just feeding themselves but also their pets
With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.

I'm very grateful to @jasonkoebler.bsky.social for letting me speak on the relationship between AI and book bans.
This is a great and thorough article, and I'm glad I got a chance to say a thing I say a lot but that-- without the context Jason provides-- makes me sound a little conspiracy minded.

This is an absolutely tragic gutting of one of the best politics desks in the country
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
