Finished reading: The Invisible Parade by Leigh Bardugo and John Picacio 📚
I’m very obsessed with this Día de Muertos picture book with an Own Voices illustrator. So much of the storytelling is in the images and it’s a gorgeous collaboration. Highly recommend for reading around Día de Muertos or anytime. 💀
I just renewed my family’s membership to the Friends of the Durham Library. Have you joined your library’s Friends organization? It’s a straightforward way to support an institution that’s losing a lot of structural support right now. 📚

This is an absolutely bananas book. A great ride.
🔖 Read Why I’m One And Done (And Not Feeling Guilty About It) by Stephanie Fallon (The Good Trade).
My experience is so similar to Fallon’s. Before having M, I thought maybe 2 kids. But he’s very high touch and when people ask, I always say, “I don’t have enough Kimberly for a second kid.”
Been watching the Disney original movies in the Zombies series and these are thinly veiled metaphors for prejudice against different groups.
Original Zombies: racism (zombies basically stand in for Black people).
Zombies 2: prejudice against Indigenous people, settler colonialism (werewolves stand in for Indigenous people)
Zombies 3: prejudice against immigrants (aliens stand in for immigrants)
I’m curious to see what they do in Zombies 4, which we’ll watch tomorrow.
