@AGEllison @keithellison Does this mean my practically doubled energy bill will drop back toward the normal range? Or is it actually going to go up even more?

Maybe you don't have a favorite picture book, but I bet a specific title popped into your head just now. What was it?

Meilin’s mom swoops in with her misguided shelter or protection

Me: this woman has had multiple miscarriages and this amazing girl is the miracle baby she thought she’d never have

Meilin asserts independence

Me: oof. This is going to hurt

Also me: you go, girl #TurningRed

$35k a year
They aren’t even getting $35k a year for a job that requires a college degree

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

NEW: Minneapolis Public Schools educators tell us they’re forced to work 2-3 jobs to make ends meet, and some of their coworkers are homeless.

@MFT59 teachers & educators are striking to demand at least $35K/year.

It’s their first strike in nearly 50 years.

[Jay @realsmigielski]

@neilhimself Minneapolis teachers are digging in for second week, fighting for better classroom conditions and a living wage for their schools' support professionals.

Would you RT their strike fund? @MFT59 @MFT59ESP

@marblepressbook Hey, quick FYI. You’ve got some typos in your flyer

[Bluebird Books @BooksAtBluebird]

We’ve been in a sales slump all thru March 🙁 Sooo friendly reminder that it’s better to buy books with us than thru Amazon bc:
•we’re a small, indie, woman-owned shop
•we pool profits from online purchases with other indies across the US
•we donate 10% of profits each month

It’s sad and frustrating to see so many editors stepping away. And this is just today! Who knows how many more will leave for new adventures tomorrow.

[Robyn Arend @RobynArend]

One day, all these young, talented, and knowledgeable editors are going to find each other and open their own brand new badass publishing house

Some personal news, as they say: today is my last day at Orbit Books! It’s been a thrill and an honor like no other to work with so many ridiculously talented authors during my time here, but I can’t wait to share where I’m headed next when I can 🌚 watch this space!
