The US Womens Hockey Team showed far more principle and commitment to our American values and decency than the Mens Hockey Team. Brava to the women who stood tall in courage and strength and compassion.

Actually, I think they should keep going. Superbowl Ballet.
Love this! The Boston Balletβs response to the Pacific Northwestβs #Superbowl challenge.
Really enjoyed @sarahsbrannen.bsky.socialβs presentation of her delightful new picture book Lolly on the Ice at the @silverunicornbooks.bsky.social. Kids love the Zamboni, pictured on book covers beneath the jacket.
Was going to CVS and Whole Foods for a few things, when thankfully an acquaintance reminded me about the #GeneralStrike. And so I turned around. This guy used to be an independent voter, but no longer.
Snowfall map for now. Updates as needed this evening/Saturday etc.
An Update soon and with greater frequency would be much appreciated

Happy Birthday Alice Paul.

Lola Lafon's book When You Listen to This Song was inspired by the night she spent alone in the Anne Frank House. It includes her meditations on Anne Frank's life and diary from a writer's point of view, and on her own family history.

Day #29: 31 Days, 31 Lists - 2025 Nonfiction Books for Older Readers. Forget the picture books. Older nonfiction, that nebulous but ultimately satisfying genre, is where the action is. This list today just proves it. #31Days31Lists #kidlit ππ afuse8production.slj.com/2025/12/29/3...
Itβs not just Gaza.
Netanyahuβs extremist government is supporting the violent annexation of Palestinian land in the West Bank. This is illegal and immoral, and decades of American silence have enabled it.
NO MORE MILITARY AID FOR NETANYAHU.
Happy Solstice!

I like being surprised when Iβm doing historical research for a YA or kids book. So when I looked into the identity of the author of an article published in the New York Times in 1936, I was thrilled to discover he was probably a Soviet mole.

Iβm listening to the audiobook and will be sad to reach the end. What a gas!

Oh Canada! Please annex us until 2028.
A fine piece. It includes a wonderful tribute from Maurice Sendak.
In the best social media sort of way! I mentioned loving Vergheseβs novel The Covenant of water on Facebook and a friend raved about Cutting for Stone. And it was even better.
