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.

If you see a painted sign at the side of the road that says 15 miles to the

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

Listen Back: Adam Rex shares ARE YOU SCARED, DARTH VADER?, which is nominated for our state book award. Adam also shares PLUTO GETS THE CALL, which is illustrated by Laurie Keller. www.matthewcwinner.com/post/listen-... #kidlit #podcast @adamrex.bsky.social

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?

"Comics really are the best!" - Gene Luen Yang accepts for Lunar New Year Love Story. #SDCC #Eisners

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.

if you're mad at a trans person for saying they won't vote for Gavin Newsom too damn bad! this is our lives! it's not a purity test when it's our lives. of course we're a one issue voter, it's our lives you could just not nominate Newsom! but everyone knows the risk of that now, you have no excuse

Some video games are weird.

I love sketching this jerk.

Great article of particular interest to illustrators (and JAWS fans) today on Ironic Sans: ironicsans.ghost.io/how-the-jaws...

In honor of Brian Wilson's passing, here are the four categories of Beach Boys songs: 1. surfing is great, you should try it 2. I have a good vehicle 3. I reach beyond myself into the ineffable, and that's where I find you, my love 4. sloop john b

I am proud of this sketch.

somewhere in the great beyond there’s a bar full of people who just yelled NORM!

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who falsely divide all the world's people into two facile categories for rhetorical purposes, and those who don't.

Made a guy.

Would you like to work with Wendy McClure and me? We are hiring an editorial assistant! We need a picture book aficionado who is eager to learn all about publishing.

Today I learned that "Oh No" song in all the videos my kid watches is actually a Shangri-Las song from 1964. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5Yx...

Feel like the president is tweeting this ketchup label at me

A friend asked for advice and I didn't know what to tell her. Do you all know a good guide to sex and life skills for teenage boys? Something they'd actually read.

Here's a timely poll—What's your understanding of the end of SUPERMAN (1978): A) He flies around Earth so fast it reverses the planet's rotation, which in turn reverses time B) He flies around Earth so fast he goes back in time, which is represented visually by the change in Earth's rotation

Proud to report my latest is an amazon Best Book for May! Better read it now, in May, before it goes bad, I guess? Like a mango. Why not get it from the library or bookshop.org instead of amazon? bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

It's GUMLUCK WEEK! Haven’t you heard? You haven't? That's weird. Anyway, I'm reposting all my quixotic attempts to get people to buy these books. Here's a link! bookshop.org/beta-search?...

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! Today I went to my favorite store in Tucson, Littlest Bookshop.

THE STORY OF GUMLUCK AND THE HEROES can be ordered now! I think this is the best one yet. bookshop.org/p/books/the-...
