I did one of these recently. It was like, Your Spy Name is your mother’s maiden name plus the street you grew up on but why would Williams Elm be a good spy name? Anyway in other news all my accounts have been hacked

NEW FASTEST TIME! By quite a large margin, actually. I solved today’s #Gisnep in 00:39. 🎉 No. 707 | July 15, 2026 gisnep.com

I like this new game by @hankgreen.bsky.social, and today’s the first day I feel like I really played it well

I love this book! After reading it this spring, I would always reply to students who tell me it was their birthday, "you and 22 million others..."

Happy Independence Day

Probably shouldn't repost about something I haven’t read but come on—look at this book, look at these people

I just backed That One Matt Bors Comic on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/gle...

Hello editor friends (and foes)! Just putting this out there but I'm available for covers for a bit while I'm prepping for my next project.

Part of being an AI user in creative works is convincing yourself that everyone ELSE uses it too, because otherwise you have to confront the reality that you're a faker and a fraud

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

Hey illustrators—if you do art workshops with kids, what's worked for you? Ideally, what might work via ZOOM?

I expect my followers on Bluesky are smart, attractive people who would never fall for a book scam email, but I got a new variety today I thought I'd call out—a scammer actually claiming to be an editor at Chronicle (incidentally, one of my publishers). The link goes to Chronicle and everything.

Need a suggestion for something I’m writing: if you had to name a town that was, like, the Pittsburgh of England, what would it be?

Dang—I shared what I'm now hearing was a fake photo of Trump looking more asleep in a meeting than he usually looks in meetings. Undid my repost.

New newsletter post, mostly about Lorenzo Music? It kind of got away from me pictureday.beehiiv.com/p/here-comes...

I love this book so much. Funny, smart, loving and clever, it's basically everything I could want in a middle grade novel. @stephcherrywell.com

Saddened to learn of the passing of the great #GaryKelley —a huge inspiration for me. We own two of his pieces—this is one, called “The Three Mikes”. His shapes, textures, compositions, and mood are always lingering in the back of my artist brain. Warm thoughts to his family, friends, and fans. #

I really liked this.

Amazing illustration of an astronaut inside a Gemini spacecraft by M. Sasek. #wardsmorguefile

There's that moment in so much fiction when the villain tells the hero that empathy makes them weak and it's why they'll lose, and apparently 40 percent of our country sees that and thinks, "You know, Syndrome makes some good points there."

THE INK WITCH by @stephcherrywell.com!

Fun middle-grade novel recommendations that are hard sci-fi or involve astrophysics in some way?

84 years sounds like a long time. And I know in some ways it is. But it's also not that long. I still have living relatives who were in the camps and who were old enough to remember it. This isn't abstract or ancient history. It's part of the living memory I grew up with.

This is so spot on

honestly tired of trying to convince people that trump's immigration policy is not really about violent undocumented immigrants or even just undocumented immigrants, but immigrants in general and even non-white people more broadly.

What's the best wrong answer? Wrong answers only.

Canadian friends: if I borrowed your phone and tried to call an American number, would I have to dial the country code first?

One. I have one school visit scheduled for the 2025-26 school year. Before the book banning movement and the politics of hate metastasized, I visited 40, 50, and 60 schools each year. This regime of monstrous evildoers is actively trying to erase LGBTQ+ stories, identities, and humans. Resist

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

Catherine O’Hara SCTV thread youtu.be/990OaFr8EYw?...

Liam himself is five goddamned years old and should be at home with an adult he trusts right now no matter who his parents are. It would not matter if they were literal criminal masterminds, Liam Ramos is a baby and babies do not belong in prison.
