Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.
One of my favorite artists has died... David Hockney.
This is my homage to his work... such pure, simple lines that bring so much complexity with them.

RIP Jane Yolen and thanks for all the stories! locusmag.com/2026/06/jane...
I’m so sad to hear about the passing of Jane Yolen, she was such an inspiration 🩷
I had the pleasure of illustrating one of her books and better yet met her once at the Mass Book awards, where I totally embarrassed myself fangirling all over her.

It's a story that bears re-reading, for just this reason.
She was--and her memory will continue to be--an inspiration to everyone involved in any way in children's literature. RIP (and BIC), Jane Yolen. #childrensbooks #kidlit

At the age I first read this book I'd never heard the expression "short shrift" before or indeed the word "shrift" at all, so I was completely oblivious to this joke.

Striding across the square was the shortest policeman Milo had ever seen. He was scarcely two feet tall and almost twice as wide.

The Phantom Tollbooth Quotes
Remembering Charles Kingsley, English clergyman & one of the first to support Charles Darwin's book. He was an author known for his keen descriptive writing. I read this at a young age & recall not understanding it very much, although the title and adventure were for kids. #childrensbooks #kidlit
