Signed! I also started a voteable suggestion on their ideas page. I'd love it if people continued to vote for it! We're at 350 this evening.

I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have any connections to any Yankees, Knicks or 49ers players? Please DM if you do—trying to facilitate a kindness for a friend with a terminal illness. Please share/RT!

Happiest of book birthdays 🥳 to CHINESE MENU. I truly believe this is @pacylin’s masterwork (so far!). Every story behind a different American Chinese food dish is a revelation, I love her personal anecdotes throughout, and the art is absolutely gorgeous.

The book cover for Grace Lin’s book CHINESE MENU: the history, myths, and legends behind your favorite foods. It shows a young Chinese girl holding a bowl of soup and the ornate border consists of dragons and various Chinese food dishes.

I AM AN AMERICAN by @marthabee.bsky.social@gracelin.bsky.social, & Julia Kuo is such an important book to share. It tells the story of Wong Kim Ark, who challenged the Supreme Court for his right to be called an American citizen and won, securing birthright citizenship for all Americans.

It's so heartening to read about how much books I've helped bring to the world are loved! This essay about the Wild Robot series made me tear up. www.nytimes.com/2023/09/08/b...
