Wandered around Olveras street today and saw some excellent bootlegs

Went to the Heritage Auction Guillermo Del Toro reception tonight and seeing this Windsor McCay Gertie the dinosaur original blew my mind. I couldn’t imagine just having this in my house??!!

Dying to see Little Amélie

Hey artists -- I'm working on a lesson for my students about resumes and cover letters. Do you still have a "pretty" resume, or do you just default to text-only since most resume submissions are digital and need to get through an AI filter?

Hey this is really terrible and if you have a Michigan representative, please consider calling. This will directly affect my students at CCS and is horrible for culture in general.

Michigan ppl “The Michigan State House of Representatives recently passed a 2026 budget bill that completely eliminates all state funding for arts and culture.”

Passing by a McDonalds with a flag at half mast and sincerely hoping it’s to honor 9/11 victims

Dressing aspirationally in fall clothing even though it’s supposed to be 80 degrees today, the classic SoCal autumnal experience.

My daughter's daycare sends regular photo updates throughout the day, which I love, but occasionally they send me a photo of her passed TF out in a dark room and it's always so jarring I can't help but laugh!

Idk what’s in the air right now, but so many of my friends are going through big, life-altering tough times. This energy needs to chill out

GenAI is not inevitable and not everybody is using it, those are lies. It isn’t just creatives who hate it, my partner works in tech industry and so do many of our friends and they all hate AI too!

In retrospect it may not have been a good idea to get my flu vaccine on the tail end of recovering from Covid 🫠. Feeling absolutely slammed today

I wish Burbank would open up a place with cafe vibes that serves both coffee *and* beer. Sometimes I want to chill with a beer and draw, but going to a bar solo as a lady is intimidating to me. The closest is the Whole Foods patio, but I hate giving money to Jeff Bezos.

Bless you Google Slides for finally getting some better templates!!

I will now be approaching my Blue Sky posts as my brain approaches my dreams: vaguely surreal but easy enough to tie to reality if you really think about it

Too many friends have said goodbye to senior pets in the past couple of months. 😭. I know I am lucky to still have my 14-year-old boxer mix, but I’m not ready to say goodbye

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

This is a tiny gripe in the grand scheme of all of the horrible things happening right now, but I'm incredibly annoyed that avoiding processed foods & trying to make/eat as much as possible from scratch is now a considered far right thing. I care about these things & have for forever & I'm a lefty!

Mango is still looking for a home! Please signal boost! Her original owner has now very unfortunately passed away.

Childcare is cool because you get to pay half of your income for your child to stay home half the time anyway and also for everyone in your house to get sick (SOS 🥲)

Any LA or Bay Area locals interested in adopting a 10 y/o low maintenance kitty named Mango? She belonged to my friend's mom, who tragically suffered from a major stroke and fall and can no longer care for her. Both my friend and I have a full house of pets and can't take her, though wish we could

Anytime someone promotes AI, it reminds of the time in Animorphs where Ax the Andalite roasts humans for thinking computers were more ‘advanced’ than books when you can just turn the page instead of waiting for a website to load…

My daughter has started saying “MAMAMAMAMAMAMA” and while I think she’s just making noises and it probably doesn’t mean *me*, it still makes my lizard brain melt into a puddle of happy goo every time she does it. 🥹

Sometimes when I feel bummed about the news I imagine a far-in-the-future 4th grade textbook highlighting phrases like “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” and some future kid being annoyed at having to memorize so many stupid terms.

I’m out with a friend at a concert and tonight my husband vacillated between texting me photos/updates about our 6-month-old daughter and asking me if I would be willing to go in halfsies on a Nintendo Switch 2. Millenial parenting

I did the thing where I made a batch of cookie dough and froze individual-cookie-sized balls so that I can bake just 1 in the toaster oven fresh whenever I want, and what that has resulted in is me sneaking off to the freezer to eat a bite of a cookie dough ball every 15 minutes.

This was right over my house cool cool cool cool

The US and toxic masculinity are hopelessly intertwined, I fear.

There is a plumber coming to fix my sink today and his name is literally Mario.

The manager for the Downey Animal Care Center, urges people who are in a position to adopt to stop by to visit dogs like Canela, a five-year-old Belgian Malinois. A total of 18 animals have been turned in due to the deportations. By @janettev.bsky.social 🐕 lataco.com/ice-raids-pe...

My mom never talks politics with me, so it was an enormous surprise when I tried to FaceTime her randomly today and she couldn’t talk because she and my dad were on their way to a big lefty political rally 💪

There was a moment recently when my baby monitor was buffering and skipped a bunch of frames, so my daughter truly looked like an exorcist baby and I felt like I was living in Paranormal Activity.

My family has become regulars at a couple of Burbank local spots, and I have to say, it’s really the best. We get fist bumps when we sit down. Occasional free drinks. I love having real community.

“California is so far using forty per cent less natural gas to generate electricity than it did in 2023, which is the single most hopeful statistic I’ve seen in four decades of writing about the climate crisis.” www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...

This shirt is one of my all time best thrift store finds, and whenever I wear it I feel like I’m a Scott Pilgrim character (or someone else cooler than me)

I just got a targeted ad for a protein bar that’s just called “David” and I now think we’ve all just gone too far as a society.

I absolutely do not need another bag but I couldn’t leave Target without this!

The urge to disappear into the woods and just be a weird middle aged witchy lady grows stronger every day

90s music will always perfectly symbolize deep personal happiness regardless of the message of the lyrics. The vibes are unmatched.

Until I had a baby in January and was actively counting months I never realized than January —> June is only 5 months, not 6. Now you also know.

#juneteenth2025 may be over but don't let that stop you from supporting black creators! If you wanna support a black queer indie showrunner ( who's also a mom) and her crew, check out the trailer for my Indie Animation Pilot animatic coming soon! Watch on YouTube ! #indieanimation

Stepping into motherhood is inherently a huge identity shift. I was already a whole person for 36+ years before I became a mother. As I begin to contemplate/plan my return to work, I realize what so many mothers before me have gone through—

Briefly mistook an old foil wrapped pat of butter in my fridge for an Andes mint and was incredibly disappointed upon learning the truth.

Ok but like… I’m a millennial parent with a child who is likely younger or the same age as these gen z kid’s-kids, and I read to her daily?? This article seems anecdotal at best.

One of my coolest bragging rights is that one of my childhood friends is on the Goodyear blimp crew and is in this NYT article this morning. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/b... Here’s also a screenshot of our most iconic text exchange.

All of this is very funny and delicious lol

I had a minor celebrity sighting today, mostly recognized because of their dog. This is not the first time I have confirmed a celebrity sighting because of their dog, which probably says a lot about me.

As someone born & raised in CA, I grew up knowing that the majority of entertainment workers here are WORKING CLASS families. If you love animation, contact your local reps and help #KeepCaliforniaRolling ✊https://actionnetwork.org/letters/keep-california-rolling-reel-jobs-need-real-action-now

Please. We want to keep making the cartoons you and your kids love.
