@CartoonsHateHer I grew up only allowed to watch PBS and later, when it stopped being a premium channel,
Disney…it was okay but I felt left out when my friends would talk about other shows! We have no iPad or anything for our 4yo and she doesn’t care but we do watch some TV and it’s…fine??

@PhantomThiefRey @emilykmay She definitely was!

@theashleyray YEP. Plus Island of the Blue Dolphins, The Endless Steppe, Number the Stars, In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson...all of those plus Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry were books my class read in fifth grade. It was a good year. Obviously impactful as I remember them all!

For @WIRED, I spoke with Macmillan and PRH staff about AI at the rest of the Big Five.

I also spoke with bestselling authors who've gone to "war" with publishers over AI use and are now demanding disclosures and threatening to leave their publishers altogether.

@SummerDreamZZZ ROB.

@1followernodad @SketchesbyBoze @wren_and_paper 100% agree

[Rachel Stout @rachelestout]

@SketchesbyBoze We were gifted an Alice book that has all the different Alice illustrations throughout and my almost-4yo loves it. Asks me to read it to her all the time, remembers lines weeks later. And, look, shes 3, I’m sure she’s only really getting small pieces of it, but she still loves it

[Rachel Stout @rachelestout]

@SorryMomDotGov Oh she was fully correct

@LionelKitchy The Woods also

@offbeatorbit You’re right and every time you need to discuss this here, I love/hate to read all the threads of people saying you are wrong (they are wrong)

[Rachel Stout @rachelestout]

@offbeatorbit As someone who worked at the Williamsburg American Apparel for *several* years in the 00s and 2010s…very much yes

[Rachel Stout @rachelestout]

@BrandyLJensen Can swap step 2 for “bring today’s crossword puzzle” and the plan works just as well

[Rachel Stout @rachelestout]

@JillFilipovic Also, honestly, unless you get married young, you've just had your name too long to change it now. I always assumed I'd change mine but then I got officially married at age 36, and man, that's just too late to change identities.

First they came for the em dash and I did not speak out. Then they came for the Oxford comma…

@RefilweSeboko Babies born at newly 35 and almost 38 and both comparatively easy pregnancies, very healthy full term babies, spontaneous delivery, fairly easy recovery (my mom also had me at 36 and my brother at 39, so I wasn’t so worried!)

@offbeatorbit Trader Joe’s capers are superior for this VERY reason
