ahhh this is all so good! read the entire piece!

The reason I want students to have to struggle with difficult texts is because I want them to have the capacity to make meaning in and of the world on their own.

Received an early copy of my new book, in fancy packaging.

The author is pictured here in front of his collection of drying gourds.

A photograph psted by the Iris Centre for Poetry Studies showing the page on which Alvy Carrager's poem Library is printed, from Carrager's collection What Remains the Same (Gallery Books). The book sits open on a wooden table, and a gold pen rests above it.

....And this gives me an excuse to post one of my favourite poems about the importance of books: "Library" by Alvy Carragher. She's a Dublin-based Irish poet, but her poem perfectly describes my troubled, library-loving young mother in New Jersey/Pennsylvania too.

Brave, beautifully-written essay by my dear friend and incredible writer @sarahjanecody.bsky.social in @electricliterature.com!

A table with a black banner for Authors Against Book Bans, with copies of many books on top. Many of the books contain bookmarks listing where they have been banned, including my own books Everything I Never Told You (banned in FL, IA, and VA) and Little Fires Everywhere (banned in VA)

At the Mass Statehouse with @aabbri.bsky.social, talking to reps about MA's proposed Freedom to Read bill.

If you went into a phone booth and used it, the thing haunting the phone booth would be freed, and the phone in the booth would start to ring. If you picked it up and spoke into it, it would use your voice to swap places with you, and you’d walk out of the phone booth into its world instead of ours.

This reminds me a little bit of the urban legends my cousins told me when I was a little kid. Ghosts of students who haunted their old desks, one about a payphone card that would spontaneously appear in corner stores that was all red and the number you dialed was like 4444 or something like that.

Part of a page of a medieval manuscript that had a hole cut into it. Underneath it is a restoration of a large decorated B, which would have been in this place, and which was restored by Eliza. The letter emulates the medieval style of script, but the image inside it is in a late 18th century style, showing a verdant tree standing against a green bucolic landscape.

In the 1790s a London woman named Eliza Denyer developed a modest reputation as a restorer of medieval manuscripts. She was forgotten by scholars and, in one case, her restorations were deliberately replaced by a man’s. I recovered her story & tracked all her known work here: tinyurl.com/2ktztx2e

Fascinating & very cool find. Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue recorded by an African American orchestra only four years after its premiere.
Leroy Smith's orchestra included trumpets, a sax, a trombone & drums, but also a French horn, a bassoon & a violin. Plus dig how the banjo pushes everything along.

Marsupials previously thought extinct for millennia discovered in New Guinea The chances of finding one mammal species thought to be lost was ‘almost zero’ and finding two is ‘unprecedented’, biologist Tim Flannery says

"Two charismatic marsupial species that had been thought extinct for 6,000 years are alive in rainforest in remote West Papua."

Oh yeah this is super cool as both the pygmy long-fingered possum and ring-tailed glider were previously only known from fossils 🤯🧪🐀

Very excited and honored!

In "Visit to the Plastic Surgeon" by Remedios Varo, a mystical figure is depicted approaching an arched doorway of a surreal surgical clinic, emphasizing themes of transformation and identity. Varo's incorporation of fantastical and dreamlike elements reflects her influence from Surrealism and evokes a sense of metaphysical exploration.
