Folks write letters to me asking all kinds of questions, but Jack's question on my favorite ice cream flavor might be the best one yet.

Here’s what I told him: https://t.co/GGlLFK1Q6S

President Trump today at the White House said to me: “Be nice. Don't be threatening.”

I’m not the first human being, woman, black person or journalist to be told that while doing a job.

My take: Be steady. Stay focused. Remember your purpose. And, always press forward.

Got my Diamanda Galás poster on TV. Score 1 for the goths.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

To everyone in NYC but ESPECIALLY healthy people & people under 40 (bc from what I’m observing that’s who needs to hear this again):

PLEASE stop crowding bars, restaurants, and public spaces right now. Eat your meals at home.

If you are healthy, you could be spreading COVID.

@laurenthehough "You mean I have to stay in and read books? Oh no, how terrible" 🙄

[Justin Brannan @JustinBrannan]

We've gotta have some uniformity here.

We can't talk about social distancing but keep schools and libraries open.

We can't talk about social distancing but think crowded bars and restaurants are OK.

It's time to make the call. #ShutItDown

This #LibraryShelfieDay let's give a shout out to the Lynchburg Public Library. Founded in 1966 at the height of the Civil Rights movement after much petitioning, it became the first non-segregated library in Lynchburg.

Librarians: sometimes they're just fucking heroes...

@nyrr I'm soooo hungry! 😩😩

[Megan Ilnitzki @megilnit]

This has been an extremely busy yet productive week and I’m feeling so inspired and immensely grateful for all the talented authors and illustrators I have the privilege of working with. The next few years are going to be filled with some truly amazing books! 📚💕
