Author, Librarian, & storyteller. READ MY DEBUT BOOK F*cked Up Fairy Tales from WW Norton! Watch the series that inspired it on my video socials! 540K on TikTok if that matters. Rhode Islander. Filipina, believe it or not! Headshot by Brittanny Taylor.
In today's "libraries are amazing" news: You want a creepy photo from the 1928 World Book Encyclopedia? Internet Archive! You want a 1921 St. Paul city ordinance? Hathi Trust! Oh, they didn't scan 1922 -- walk to the law library!
I'm running a giveaway for a copy of FAIRYLORE by Drs. Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman of The Carterhaugh School! Details in my video after my very stupid retelling of Tam Lin:
Do you think the Bond films rang up any other children's authors to be screenwriters after Roald Dahl. Richard Scarry considering the offer while drawing a bug driving a peanut

I love how you dig into this! I'm a huge fan of The Scarlet Pimpernel (which, if you don't know, is considered a precursor to Batman type stories), and have long stewed on a version that explores the rich vigilante type in a nuanced way, as on its surface it's not a very palatable story these days.
NBC News poll Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.
Truly a perfect news alert
I am sad that the next Shang-Chi movie won't be "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Brothers" (a natural sequel to the Legend of the Ten Rings), in which Shang-Chi teams up with ten superpowered brothers to overthrow a power-hungry despot, a la the old folktale Ten (or 5, or 7) Chinese Brothers.
This production is a DELIGHT!
Not saying anything revolutionary here, or maybe I am, but if you're in a position of being able to determine whether or not people work in the office or remote, during this obscene and unnecessary cost of living crisis, right now would be a time to cut in-office requirements. Gas is too much.
Jesus.
For what is a car but a receptacle for empty Dunkin Donuts bags?

Something you could do here is ALSO reach out to your state-level representatives if you live in one of the 13 states with a Freedom to Read Bill. Tell them what HR 7661 would mean for constituents in their state and the bill and tell them to pressure their federal colleagues to veto this bill.
Let me be crystal clear on something: were this law to be passed, every one of the 13 states with Freedom to Read laws would cease to have those laws to protect them anymore.
We have poured so much energy into those state laws–which matter, hear me–but they are not going to solve the big issue.

This is how I expect to be addressed moving forward.
I am Benedict Bridgerton, because I too only know one song on the piano that I break out at parties and then have to explain that I cannot play anything else.

People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws
In America, the government protects documented s*x abusers of children and then tells everyone the real abuser is books with trans kids in them. Flood your reps' phone lines against this unforgiveable nationwide book banning bill: tinyurl.com/yc2k45x2
We're all sending the same $100 among each other as the rich get unimaginably richer by the hour.

Update: my mother has informed me that English Mike is dead. 😭
My first crush was not a celebrity or a cartoon character, it was my parents' friend who was bald with a handlebar moustache who we called "English Mike." When I was four, I told my parents I was gonna marry him. I have no idea where he is now, so I'm marrying "American Dan."
STOP PRESSURING ME, MOM....uh... i mean...
Me cheek to cheek with my book F*cked Up Fairy Tales
Just me and my book making eyes at each other at the local BnN.
