HELP US HELP KIDS: In Oct 2020, our children's nonprofit, the Little Readers Big Change Initiative, hosted a free 6-week workshop series for little writers.

It featured NYT best selling authors @authord_DDB and @tiffanymjewell and many other diverse creators/leaders/educators

Someone donated an entire library’s worth of books on Celtic pattern design and I don’t think I’ve ever geeked out so hard in a Value Village.

As an aside, prepping seasonal designs in advance really knots my brain. Like I’m ready to put up a Christmas tree but I have to finish making pipe cleaner spiders with my kids first.

@notionport I once messaged another Jillian H on Facebook (she’s in Ireland). She told me she woke up to the message so confused, thinking she’d drunkenly messaged herself 😂

@JohnTory @cityoftoronto I understand that park 'amenities' are closed - but are the parks themselves closed? I find the language around this very vague. We aren't using parks, tbc - but I'd like to know what the rule is.

Carson Ellis illustrated a book celebrating the slow return of light after Dec. 21 — the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.

"It really is just kind of light triumphing over darkness," she says. "...light is always a cause to celebrate." https://t.co/apW2BshSVj
