Oh man—I’m about to do a day of school presentations on the morning Dick Cheney died. The kids are gonna be so bummed

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

TONIGHT, #Tucson! Fest Week continues — see you at Stacks Book Club with the great @adamrex.bsky.social! stacksbookclub.com/events/37980... #diademuertos #dayofthedead #diadelosmuertos #FestWeek #TheInvisibleParade

Idea: XANADUDE It would be exactly what it sounds like

Greater Tucson area: I'll be at Stacks Book Club on Wednesday the 29th at 6pm to talk with John Picacio about his beautiful book, THE INVISIBLE PARADE. Come if you love art or the Dia de los Muertos or just to say hi. stacksbookclub.com/events/37980...

Come see us, greater Tucson metropolitan area!

Psst! I am opening up to unagented children's book submissions *just for the month of October*! This is an exciting experiment. The email to send submissions to is [email protected]. You can find out about what I'm looking for at www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/me...

What could be worse than screaming at a Capitol police officer?

"This one guy showed a good portfolio, then told us 'I can also do that Drew Struzan style.' Second guy, better portfolio, and 'I can do a great Drew Struzan.' Well, we didn't know who you were, but we figured we better call you..." (Tale Drew told, roughly remembered.) RIP Drew.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

ICE drag girl out of car & body slam her to ground—then pin her face down & kneel on her neck. "I'm 15!" she cries out. "I'm not resisting!" Agents have now asked multiple area housing associations to unlock main doors—so they can go door to door. Hoffman Estates, Illinois

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

I’m wondering the subject of illustrators. If you search for me, books I illustrated—but did not write—come up. I don’t think I deserve settlement money from those titles. But as a rights holder, do I need to file a claim alongside the author just to make sure this atm pays out as it’s supposed to?

Today we read School’s First Day of School written by @adamrex.bsky.social with pictures by Christian Robinson. It was a great intro to a collective research project about our school’s history including who has been on this land before us—now with a side quest to learn about Frederick Douglass.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics. The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

My farthest is about 2200 meters. Man, now I want to go play Doomscroll.

In the last 24 hours more than 10,000 people have played the web game I announced on Tuesday. Here’s the story behind why and how I made it: ironicsans.ghost.io/doomscrollin...

What if someone sent you three chickens? What if they actually sent you 30 chickens, because they did it ten days in a row? Anyway, this is a book about the guy they wrote that song about. bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

OK.

More than 300k Black women being pushed out of the labor market while white men gained 365k more jobs is what we mean when we refer to racism as systemic.

I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators. Trans folk, please add your links to this thread for books or crafts or whatever you do!

It’s a little weird to demand people vote for a candidate as a necessary lesser evil three years before you even know if they’re going to be the candidate

After snapping this I booped the lizard on the nose and went about the rest of my day.

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

There can’t be any gun restrictions because we have to protect against federal government tyranny, and if kids get shot we just have to live with it. Also the President can send troops to cities because the federal government can do whatever it wants. These two ideas are consistent and reasonable.

Proud to share that my forthcoming book, THE 13TH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, has been selected by a jury to appear in the Society of Illustrators' Original Art show! That's an annual exhibition of the best kid's book art, or so they say.

Magic card illustrators get these Artist Proofs—regular card on the front, white on the back—and sometimes we draw or paint on the white side for fans. This is such a painting, and it could be yours! 100% of proceeds benefit Trans Lifeline and the Trevor Project. event.auctria.com/bd2d4cc2-fc1...

Everyone's screaming about how the left doesn't compromise and I keep saying I will vote for this guy. I am a communist who will vote for a billionaire. Centrists, tell me about even one instance when you have compromised like anything close to this. Or at all.

My wife's students don't believe there was ever a man named Galileo Galilei because it sounds like Italian Brain Rot slang.

Butternut house - planning a home expansion! I think this wood mouse is growing herself a little workshop. Wasn't totally happy with some bits so I tweaked things here and there and *now* it's finished! Prints: www.inprnt.com/gallery/vmad... #art #illustration

Go ahead, tell me how this drawing could possibly be any better. (don't actually do that. Just enjoy the drawing)

Catching up on my Margo Maloo, and hot damn, does Drew Weing draw some of the best backgrounds! Cartoony but also in razor sharp perspective and with perfect little details. The plants in the foreground are not just fudged. Love it.

Zebraham Lincoln. Is that anything?

Hello! I will be running a writing workshop for ages 6 and up tomorrow in Tucson at the Nanini Library at 10:30 am. It's too hot to do anything else! Come see me! Okay. pima.bibliocommons.com/events/6823e...

The "I decide what I say" argument...I don't know if this is a reductive, but: If a person says they go by Michael, you *can* reply, "That's great, Mike." You know how movies often have characters like that? You notice how it's screenwriter shorthand to show that's the worst character in the movie?

I think that...might have been my favorite Superman movie? Can that be right?

this is getting next to no media attention and it’s horrifying. transphobes weren’t going to stop at bathrooms, no hormones for minors, they are going to keep pushing until it’s entirely illegal and no one is standing up for us other than trans people

Been thinking a lot about the administration's kettle logic recently, and this Onion headline gets it all in one headline.
