A reminder that we're here⬇️ more than on twitter these days
PSA: if you tried blue sky before and found it a bit quiet, it's become *a lot* more busy recently, might be worth trying again. Would love to see more publishers/book publicists/readers/writers/illustrators active there. Find us under the same handle.
During the Renaissance, people in Venice would vote by dropping little balls into an urn. The Italian word for “little ball” is ‘ballotta.’ Now any kind of secret voting, by ball, piece of paper, or voting machine, is called a ‘ballot.’

Flooding in Valencia, Spain, Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024
Es conmovedor ver por segundo día consecutivo al pueblo de Valencia volcándose con los más afectados. Ayer en Alfafar era impresionante
Hoy día festivo en España y el pueblo de Valencia se ha volcado con los damnificados del temporal. Es conmovedor la riada de personas. Han tomado su pala o su escoba y se ha tirado a la calle. Llevamos andando casi una hora y no paramos de ver voluntarios. Espectacular!
