I just realized> If this was the opening scene in a story - well yah that's a setup- comedy, thriller, or something else catastrophic. Guess after all my revisions with Pb and my Gns, I am finally finding story inspirations - anywhere 🤔🫣.

I open the door for the repairman, and he greets me thusly: “Can I use your toilet, mate, I need to take a mad pee?”

VIRTUAL CHAT, ANYONE? OK/SCBWI folks! (and anyone else who might like to participate). We're going to get together AGAIN and chat about the how-tos of BlueSky. DM me for the link! #kidlitcommunity #scbwi #okarscbwi

I checked twitter yesterday, I did a clean up of fake (x ) followers there were 10-12, I just blocked 10 fake followers 4 days ago. That's not the engagement I was expecting with kidlit in my own twit bio. Wonder if everyone with the bazillion followers has 1/3 of the 'X in bio' kind. 😱

I have 56.4K followers on twitter still. I have a locked account, but decided to share a recent essay there. 1 reply. 17 likes.

What a great opportunity #kidlit spread the word .

I’m gonna be doing this with #SCBWI OK/AK (but it’s open to anyone interested)! I hope it’ll help #KidLit folks who are new to BlueSky (or haven’t joined yet) more acquainted with the platform, how it works & how features like Feeds can be helpful for our community.

Interesting read about principles, integrity - two things that 'knock on the door' when something doesn't feel okay. Sharing things like this help other people also figure out their 'what if' situation.

The Luddites were correct. Technology is fine, but it needs to be used in service to humanity, not a few assholes at the top who think they should own the universe.

All for fun

art is neat

#kidlit #comics since I can draw GN pages now, I finally indulge in reading manga and comics/gn again. Ok mostly manga - delved into some classics- dragonball,I did not like; naruto-yes;Ultraman- which I always liked in movies. Discovered👇-really like it but can't figure out where dad's story is.

While I enjoy the "If you see this, post a ____" threads and the fun participation I see and the fun challenge in finding or creating something to follow along, I do wonder (with my overly anxiety-ridden brain) if we are feeding into the AI beast and helping to train them. #noai #kidlitart #art

#kidlit 2020 article from author Carole Kim about advances for kidlit. I looked it up for practical reasons and often surprised when critmates don't look things up. I may be wrong for wanting to be more informed. makealivinginkidlit.com/how-much-mon...

#kidlit #nonfiction due Aug 30.2024. 👇 Where do children’s books fit in this universe where digital information both connects and entraps us? Or a more extreme?, how do we define, use, and understand nonfiction books for children and young adults in this era? Teresa? @teresarobeson.bsky.social

IBBY's Bookbird: A Journal of International Children's Literature is seeking contributions for special issue on #nonfiction in #kidlit. Call open until August 30, 2024. Submission details here: www.ibby.org/bookbird/

#kidlit AI some stuff- then job is pooft.. read 👇 watch your contracts #kidlitart

A job I was looking forward to just fell through because I requested a very basic “please don’t feed my work into the AI garbage chute pls” clause in the contract That was apparently against company policy and non-negotiable If anyone needs a book cover I have an opening in my schedule

#kidlit yay @debbieohi.com @boringstorybook.com

How funny. I was on a Zoom meeting with some SCBWI HQ peeps and they hadn’t realized the growth and #kidlit audience participation Bluesky has had until I spoke up. They are going to be discussing having official presence here!
