So thank you, @NPRmelissablock, for all your work (kids music and of course far beyond that) over the years. I'm very grateful for you reaching out many years ago and wish you all the best in whatever comes next. (4/4)

And of course, on a personal level, Melissa reaching out to this weird blogger with a niche website and asking if I wanted to talk about kids music on the radio led to a host of opportunities I'm unlikely to have had otherwise. (Plus, those conversations were *fun!) (3/x)

I mean, the primary credit goes to the musicians themselves, of course, but NPR providing airtime to musicians serving a family audience, even in bite-sized chunks, impacted lives of dozens of musicians and thousands (tens of thousands? hundreds of thousands?) of families (2/x)

I don't want to overstate things, but Melissa's interest in kids music, which led to significant coverage on NPR, was one of the most important factors that boosted the visibility of the genre in the mid-aughts and beyond. (1/x)

Curious: what's the current etiquette on wearing a band's t-shirt to a band's concert? I feel like it used to be frowned on but it's now OK?

Obligatory "this game is NUTS" tweet. (Because, yeah, this game is NUTS.)

(Best Children's Music Album, obvs.)

Congratulations to this year's Grammy nominees! @alphabetrockers - The Movement @diviroxx - Ready Set Go! @MusicianJustin - Space Cadet @Lucky_Diaz - Los Fabulosos @WendyandDB - Into the Little Blue House

What I'm saying is, if you want to keep in touch with me, email is still a pretty good way. And maybe when there's another decent place to chat together, I'll join that. In the meantime, I'll be like <spoiler alert>Edward Norton at the end of Fight Club. (7/7)

So I don't know if there will ever be another social media account for Zooglobble. (Even if the site snaps out of its hibernation, which is not totally out of the realm of possibility, even if it takes a couple years.) (6/x)

Facebook and Instagram have their own issues. Mastodon is just a little too weird and I don't think it will be the Twitter replacement in the end. I'm too old for TikTok. (5/x)

For the moment I intend to keep this account just to prevent someone else from claiming the name, though that flatters myself far too much. (4/x)

...and given that the site has been, if not frozen like Han Solo in "The Empire Strikes Back" at least lightly updated, I don't think the site will be at all affected by a Twitter collapse (3/x)

Obviously, I write very little at my website at this point, and my tweets have generally been "personal" in nature and not kids music-related, so departing Twitter is more of an impact to me rather than the site... (2/x)

Hey, everyone. Even if Twitter survives through the weekend -- and even that seems like an iffy proposition -- I think its reach, usefulness, and just plain niceness will never be what it once was. (And that was never particularly high, even as a person w/ privilege) (1/_)

I'd have to think long and hard about which song from this album might fit on a kids music playlist, but to those parents who have followed me from the beginning, this album is likely right up your alley.

Hello, friends. This past year, I've been working on the project I've been waiting my life to make. It is for kids, yes. But it's also for adults who need reminding there is still strangeness left on Earth. Here's a taste of its sound. #TerrestrialsPodcast https://t.co/Inn40l7od5

This announcement made. my. day. A great lineup -- most stoked for @Jbrekkie @lucydacus and @ilovelucius but it's solid from top to bottom. Thanks @psykosteve and others for putting together, this is going to be great.

@MrJeffGiles (Deleted earlier tweet which attributed it to @jefito -- who also is capable of writing as well as his name doppelganger. does here)

Most people's life will not follow a course that generates a remembrance on Vanity Fair's website, and that's totally OK, but if you've lived your life with the generosity @MrJeffGiles wonderfully recalls of Morgan here, then you've lived a good life.
