A Substack thread!! Time to post your Substacks everyone - so we can share and follow and procrastinate things we're supposed to be doing. 😎 #kidlit #kidlitart

I almost witnessed an epic struggle today, but the fly was smart and didn't stay long. #invert 🕷️

I like this thread better than the films.
