Writing a Memoir. 🖍️

Quay Lewd from the legendary The Tubes! A page from my memoir in progress BABY HOLD ON TO ME. In 1976 my mom Bee Oliver produced one of their shows that was a total scandal! She was thrilled!

One of my favorite cartoonists @glynnisfawkes.bsky.social has this little gem in Narrative Magazine: narri.tv/4nDpfHd

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

I don’t come to social media sites that often anymore, but I gotta tell you this place is so much better than threads any day.

Pitching a new film to Hollywood. SPEED meets Joan Didion in a world where you have to tell yourself stories in order to live... literally. (M. Night Shyamalan to direct?)

Three GOP Senators actually did vote 'No,' despite having their careers threatened. Which is why, if you have a GOP Representative, you should call and badger them to vote NO in the House. They know this bill is unpopular. Poke as many holes in it as you can! Unleash Hell!

Pigeons? Art? Libraries?? This book was such a delight! Bravo Katie Fricas! Out from @dandq.bsky.social

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

OMG We’re funded????? Thank you all who donated and shared!!! We have closed the campaign! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Without due process there is no law.

Nothing that SCOTUS did today prevents any state, anywhere, from doing exactly this. Respond to SCOTUS upholding discrimination by antitrans states by making your own state as protective of trans people as possible.

I see you Tennessee. 🏳️‍⚧️🩷🩵🤍

The bravery of this woman cannot be overstated. The cruelty of the current admin is the point. It undermines and demeans us all. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

Pencilling in the page of my brother’s birth—on his birthday! Happy Birthday to my little brother Blake born 49 years ago today!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Happy Pride. Take a few minutes to listen to some queer voices of the past. Because queer, trans, LGBTQ+ people have always existed and will always exist. No matter what certain lawmakers in DC try to do.

This morning we drove to Bozeman Pride for @zoandbehold.bsky.social to speak, then went down to Yellowstone and saw incredible sights. Then, on the drive back to Missoula at 1AM, the heavens erupted. Naked eye visible aurora. The northern lights told us Happy Pride :)

I have work in a show called CONTEMPORARY NARRATIVES at @fortpointarts.bsky.social along with cartooning greats @kurtankeny.bsky.social @karlstevensart.bsky.social @natalienorris.bsky.social and @keilerjean.bsky.social ! Show is up until July! I love you, Boston ❤️

Very grateful to be a part of this show at @fortpointarts.bsky.social along with @summerpierre.bsky.social @karlstevensart.bsky.social @natalienorris.bsky.social and @keilerjean.bsky.social! Show is up until July, come by and see it!

true also of cartoonists. I think about this when I see my friends in performing arts do their thing. You get this immediate visceral feedback, I get email complaining about typos.

Just finished reading PREPARING TO BITE by my friend KEILER ROBERTS. It is hilarious and original, and despite the dog on the cover, cats approve. Out from @dandq.bsky.social (of course!). bookshop.org/p/books/prep...

I have TWO events next week: a book launch and the opening reception for a show I'm in. Come see me, I'd love to see you: www.patreon.com/posts/events...

My friend Graham Parsons, a tenured professor at West Point, writes powerfully about his decision to resign in response to the academy’s capitulation to the Trump administration: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/o...

Finished this rainy morning: “The Knitting Circle” 22”x30”, ink & colored pencil ❤️💛🩵💙

CARTOONISTS RIGHTS urges all editorial and political cartoonists-wherever you are-to take part in this vital survey. Speak out about censorship, abuse, and threats. Your experience is crucial-help expose the risks and shape the upcoming report. globalfreedomofexpression.columbia.edu/updates/2025...

Today, that author—Graham Parsons—published a @nytimes.com oped announcing his resignation from West Point, which he said "abandoned its core principles" in a matter of days. After consulting with him, @lawfaremedia.org decided to publish his initial submission below.

So proud!!!

A “culture war,” you say?

The “culture war” frame is a weasly way to avoid saying that this segregationist administration is institutionalizing white male supremacy in the nation’s military academies. “white supremacist purge strikes West Point” is more accurate. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/u...

Another in depth article about Trump's culture war on West Point. My husband Graham was the only one willing to go on record. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/u...

This is extremely worrisome. The Trump regime wants its military ignorant, incurious, and compliant. That doesn’t bode well at all

My husband Graham has been teaching philosophy at West Point for 13 years. He just resigned: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/o...

Since November I've been making large drawings in ink and colored pencil. Each of them is 22"x30". I've made a gallery where you can see the best of them so far: summer-pierre.com/work/large-w...

Working on a series of large drawings 22”x30”. I love the places these are taking me. 🐟

I'm proud to announce Eddy Dyer's debut 1999 album Explosion Alone is now available on vinyl for the first time. Remastered 25th anniversary edition is available at thatpromisingseadog.bandcamp.com I love this record. @eddydyer.bsky.social Photos: Kevin Mertens Art: @summerpierre.bsky.social

In the final months of the election, Republicans spent $215 Million on network TV ads, plus god knows how much on cable, streaming, mailers, etc. Attacking our community was without a doubt their #1 ad priority. Today, the American people get the opportunity to rebuke that hate.

Hey, man: reminder from @summerpierre.bsky.social

6am in the Hudson Valley! I was there when the doors opened and it still took an hour! Let’s do this! 💙💙💙

I just donated. Every time I see one of these I know any one of us cartoonists are just a few years, an accident, or a divorce away from financial disaster. Give if you can.

Everyone is so loud this morning.

Everybody doing okay?
