Hello
#kidlitartpostcard
! I'm Santi Casares, a writer and illustrator in search of representation or exciting projects! This month's postcard is inspired by all the leaves that have fallen around here, and the excitement of being a kid.

Unsure about how to vote on the NYC ballot proposals? I wrote up my big thread about how I voted and why in a blog post! Packed with links to all the different voter guides and sources I delved into! Whether you vote the way I do or not, I hope this helps you decide!

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

, Ghostly Encounters. I wanted to wink at Día de los Muertos, and that's why the ghost has a marigold in its ghostly grasp. Thank you to

I cannot believe that we are STILL having this stupid debate about the word "Latino" and all its derivative forms. On another platform, a dude was all, "I'm a Chicano, not a Latino!" Bro, you are primarily a Chicano, just like Bad Bunny is primarily a Boricua. AND ... you're both Latinos. 1/

I posted over a year ago on why it’s better trying to rebuild here and the rift between this platform and the others has only become more pronounced. I know I’m preaching to he choir, but more publishers/editors etc. should make the effort.
