Thank you Dr. Goodall. RIP.

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

Kirk's murder is being weaponized to corral us into a smaller and smaller arena of speech, and it is our job to refuse to be confined, to keep speaking out, to keep making irreverent jokes, supporting progressive voices, chastising the high-profile cowards, and talking among ourselves.

We all deserve to have a happy and safe home where we are loved and respected by family and friends. So many today lack this, or it is being wrenched from them. My heart and thoughts today while working on this sketch for an upcoming book.

Proof of a new book on the horizon. A little scene from Just One Oak by @maria_gianferrari_author illustrations by me 👋 #justoneoak #beachlanebooks #simonandschuster

Good news for fellow authors disheartened by your books being illegally used to train AI; "If your book was used by Meta, you’re automatically included in the Kadrey v. Meta class action in Northern California..." And @authorsguild.bsky.social has some practical steps you can take.

I had a lot of fun painting this recent picture book spread of acorn woodpeckers. Such a cool species!

It’s important for folks in their 40s/50s/60s to realize that some of us should get a measles booster. I did a few years ago

A reminder for these times.

This is excellent.

#caturday palette cleanser with Toshiro.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years. Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

🇺🇦

Trump is expected to declare English the nation's official language. America is an Italian word. California, Colorado, Nevada, Montana, and Florida are Spanish, and a bunch of other states have Indigenous names.

Measles outbreaks are preventable. Do not normalize measles outbreaks! Measles outbreaks are preventable. Do not normalize measles outbreaks! Measles outbreaks are preventable. Do not normalize measles outbreaks!
