I'm a #history nerd, #vegetarian, avid #reader, and the #author of #MiddleGrade books for young people (The Mad Wolf’s Daughter, The Hunt for the Mad Wolf’s Daughter, and Secret of the Shadow Beasts). I love #libraries, #History, #ChildrensLiterature, #MiddleGradeFantasy, gaming with my son, #Scotland, #castles, and tea.

Michael MagrasI recently learned that Bernie Sanders, whom I have long admired, has endorsed Maine's former Senate President Troy Jackson for governor in next year's gubernatorial election. *This* Troy Jackson, the one who sided with Republicans in 2023 to kill a bill that would have banned bump stocks? Maybe rethink that one, Bernie. #Politics #Maine #Guns #Safety #US #USpol https://www.pressherald.com/2023/06/16/maine-senate-rejects-house-backed-bill-to-ban-bump-stocks-other-gun-modifications/

Karen Strickholm📢📢📢 This nonprofit media group - The Conversation - is very much worth a follow. It's terrific!
They feed curated news. They aim for unbiased, and select "the best of journalism." They both develop stories and republish (with permission).
#TheConversation publishes under Open Commons guidelines/license. The AP feeds their stuff out, high praise indeed.
How did I not know about this?! Interesting new media model, too. Glimpse of the future?
