It's #kidlitartpostcard day! I'm an illustrator who loves texture and light and a good mail day, looking for new projects with picture books through middle grade chapter books (and more)! Check out my portfolio at www.kriseasler.com or get in touch with my fantastic agent @jenrofe.bsky.social 💌

I have determined that everything right now is All Too Much and it needs to be Considerably Less, so if reality could just dial it down a fucking iota or two, I think we'd all like that

One of the things that has especially bothered me about the ICE raids is that often folks are taken with no way to contact their loved ones to let them know what happened. One of the most helpful things you can do as a legal upstander is get this info - but these abductions are chaotic at best.

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.

Vigils were held across the state to remember Alex Pretti after he was fatally shot by a federal agent Saturday in Minneapolis. Many also gathered to protest increased federal immigration enforcement happening in Minnesota. For our latest coverage visit www.mprnews.org/live-updates.

I think what's worse is that it goes well-beyond (and in a way, also falls short) of a military occupation -- this isn't occupation, it's a hot war featuring a secret police militia nightmare roving and roaming and terrorizing the populace. This is brownshirts shit. ICE is a sanctioned terror gang.

THIS

I just think it's wild that the armed professionals who wander our streets are allowed to act in fear, but the untrained normal citizens are supposed to know exactly what to do under terrifying circumstances or die

Folktale Week day 7: Dawn @folktaleweek.bsky.social #folktaleweek #folktaleweekdawn #folktaleweek2025 #kidlitart

Folktale Week day 6: Storm. The charm cast, they pulled the storm of sound and sorrow in. (My body chose the worst week to get sick! I'm behind, but determined to see it through. One more to go...) #folktaleweek #folktaleweekstorm #folktaleweek2025

Folktale Week day 5: Charm. Struggling to be heard above the chaos, the charm is cast. @folktaleweek.bsky.social #folktaleweek #folktaleweekcharm #folktaleweek2025 #kidlitart

What's going on in Alabama and Tennessee around transgender books in the library is genuinely disgusting. Trans stories belong in libraries. Full stop. Trans people have and will always exist. And if you think this ends with trans stories pal there's a very famous poem I'd like you to read.

Folktale Week day 4: Book Cacophonous echoes still ringing, they opened the book. (Sick yesterday, so skipped day 3!) @folktaleweek.bsky.social #folktaleweek #folktaleweekbook #folktaleweek2025 #kidlitart

Folktale Week day 2: Echo A banshee-like spirit of those lost on the mountain, doomed to hear nothing but tho echo of their own cries. @folktaleweek.bsky.social #folktaleweek #folktaleweekecho #folktaleweek2025 #kidlitart

I'm participating in #folktaleweek2025. Prompt 1: NIGHT To see this in triptych form, check it out over on IG. The challenge this week was to: 1. Make a triptych. 2. Use a flat folk-inspired style. 3. Tell a story. 4. Same color palette all week. #folktaleweek #kidlit #kidlitart

I’ve never really a “bucket list” person, but seeing the northern lights was consistently the only thing that came to mind when someone asked me. After tonight, I can now confidently say it’s worth a bucket list status. I could never get tired of seeing this.
