Continuing the child's film education today with "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem"

Tonight we're continuing the child's film education with The Chipmunk Adventure (1987) This masterpiece isn't streaming anywhere and the Seattle Public Library doesn't have a copy, so Internet Archive to the rescue! archive.org/details/the-...

Yesterday was National Comic Book Day? I missed it. You can still buy my comic books: ko-fi.com/colleen14603...

This entire administration is the cartoon panel of the guy saying "But I don't WANT to cure cancer. I want to turn people into dinosaurs!"

I will NEVER ever discount the harms the medical profession is responsible for. but can't escape my notice that doctors losing credibility, respect, and trust just HAPPENED to coincide with 45% of docs being poc and 38% being women--a 97% increase since 2004--despite both groups earning less

I inked five pages today, I would like a prize.

Spouse and I were just talking last night about how the Disney boycott worked so fast, but all the other things we're trying to boycott (Target, Starbucks, Microsoft) didn't seem to be accomplishing anything. Well guess what finally worked a little bit maybe!

This is my favorite thing I've drawn today

Kid: this is boring. Me: what!? My child thinks Fat Bear Week is boring? Where have I gone wrong? Spouse: yeah, I'm kinda bored too. Me:

Two of this fall's most anticipated releases drop today!!! HELLO SUNSHINE, @keezyyoung.bsky.social queer horror graphic novel; and @gingerhaze.bsky.social 's SCARLET MORNING, the first in a two-part fantastical pirate adventure! Find them and more shop.outsidercomics.com/collections/...

This is my fault.

A single $3 million donation would fund the Cartoon Art Museum indefinitely, pass it on

A little good news-

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach. To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat. And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

New shop where you can buy my new book! ko-fi.com/colleen14603...

also seeing lots of "the real target should be sinclair and nexstar" and like yes you should target them but disney, the company famous for its lawyers, immediately folded to them last week. imagine how public perception would be different if they hadnt?

As Erin notes, it's clear that opponents of equality are trying to co-opt appropriations bills to codify anti-LGBTQ+ policies in law. These bills don't have a path forward before a potential Oct 1st shutdown. Less clear: What may happen around continuing resolutions to keep the government open. 🧵

A surprise happy book birthday to me! Iron Scars Book 2 is back from the printers. And is only finished because of the like, 3 strangers who messaged me saying either they loved the first book or their kid did, and wanted to know when I was going to finish it. Thank you!

Happy Book Birthday @keezyyoung.bsky.social ! My ebook preorder for Hello Sunshine came in promptly at midnight. It is a beautiful, scary story. Perfect for spooky season. Also the ebook version is doing something dynamic with the word bubbles that's really upping the creepy factor.

My hope is that the more this administration does dangerously stupid stuff like blame Tylenol for autism, the more their transphobic stuff will be associated in the public mind with being a wrong, dangerous loon.

I feel like a crazy conspiracy theorist saying this, but they're telling people Tylenol causes autism because it's one of the only things you can take while pregnant and they want us to suffer. But also I feel in my bones that it's true!

Hey, these are good books: www.kickstarter.com/projects/lon...

Spouse: Sooo...we might have to cancel Disney+ Kid: aw, but I love it! Spouse: yeah, but the president is being bad again. Me: if we cancel Disney+, can we afford the Goat Simulator 3 DLC? Spouse: Oh yeah, one month of that costs more than the DLC. Kid: Yay! Let's cancel it!

Streaming killed secret songs. And little skits on albums. But mostly BRING BACK THE SECRET SONGS!

Outsider has signed copies of my books! Help Wing out with her move!

Picked a good page of thumbnails to start penciling today

I hate that this is the solution, but if you want trick-or-treaters...(sigh) you gotta get on Nextdoor. It sucks as a parent walking around and knocking on doors (doors that have a porch light on!!) and no one answers. Nextdoor is awful, but they make a trick-or-treat map. nextdoor.com/treat_map

it's pretty incredible that this inept AICP panel is so inept they can't even properly be antivax arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

This is my favorite thing I drew today

lots of people saying that ACIP voted against the MMRV vaccine which is not really what happened 1) they voted to not recommend MMRV and instead to get MMR and V separately 2) they voted to keep the MMRV under coverage for the Vaccines for Children program 3) they seem confused by their own votes

Drawin' butts while the world burns

We don’t gotta ever hand it to Karl Rove but this vividly illustrates how far the right has fallen into fascism that KARL ROVE is trying to be the voice of reason.

Spouse: do you think this will finally be the thing that gets the normies to wake up and realize we're living under fascism? Me:

Well when you put it that way it all sounds kind of tragically absurd

Quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky

Can confirm this was fun. I'm gonna get crushed by a rock!

I'm back from SPX and exhausted! Here's a comic about it- www.patreon.com/posts/138964...

SPX is done! Next up, the Bigfoot Kid's Book Fest in Redmond www.bigfootkidsbookfestival.com

This is weird. This is SO WEIRD. Vice presidents don't do this! www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

It's @smallpressexpo.bsky.social day two! The show floor doesn't open until noon, but you can read Cursed online now for free: www.patreon.com/posts/134709...

I love SPX but it is the thing where I will be seeing more people than I see all year in one weekend and some of them are the most charming, funny, talented people I've ever met so pls give me some grace if I am weird and overwhelmed lol

One. Hour. Left! @smallpressexpo.bsky.social

Reading Liz Plank's newest article that touches on grooming of young men, and trying to recall if any big YA fictions actually tries to show how that works or how to recognise it and the only one I can come up with is ... well, RWBY [Link to article below]

We've reached the point at SPX where, even if I don't sell anything else all weekend, I think I'll still be able to fit everything in my suitcase home 😮‍💨

this is why i think the algorithm is to blame for so much of our split vision reality right now. a simple idea -- "show people only what they want to see, to maximize their time on our platform" -- has ripped a canyon in our culture.

Ready for @smallpressexpo.bsky.social 2025! Come see me at B12a

While this is good advice, no one I know has been able to find Covid shots/boosters for kids under 12. CVS and QFC both told me they don't plan on getting them.
