How...HOW does this happen? It seems like just a few years ago schools were teaching it, students were learning it, and now? Nothing, or close to it. Why have reading and actual handwriting gone out of vogue? Is it really all on social media? #BookSky #Blacksky www.nytimes.com/2026/08/17/u...

Love this interview with @vashtiharrison.bsky.social and Traci N. Todd in PW. So much of this conversation is relatable— smothered pork chops, Aaron Douglas paintings, and Afrofuturism.

Artwork can't elevate text that isn't already great, was the message the great Maurice Sendak conveyed to Brian when he looked at some of his work early in Brian's career. The lesson: input and feedback from people you respect is worth learning from. #scbwiSummer26 #BookSky
