@JeffBezos Oops there goes my Amazon Prime account. Restrictions on free speech and press is the antithesis of being an American. At the risk of stating the obvious, it’s not an Opinion page if only some opinions are welcome. Way to become a bootlicker.

I came back to X just to say how awful @googlecalendar is for removing heritage and history months/holidays from their calendar (never mind Gulf of America). Will be switching services immediately. Way to lick the boots, Google. Disgraceful #boycottgoogle

I'm so glad it was helpful! Alliteration, especially, can be tricky because it's used so often - like puns. But as you saw in the presentation, it can really work when it's done well!

Happy Birthday to Dame #JulieAndrews! 89 years young today and the inspiration for my #picturebook, SONG AFTER SONG: The Musical Life of Julie Andrews. Learn how she went from humble beginnings to becoming one of the world's most beloved performers.

@margaritapoet I recently finished WILD DREAMERS and was in awe of how you could write something so meaningful and complex only in verse. Honestly it might be THE most difficult thing to write.
