Not much new artwork this month, but here's an older sketch for the first day of autumn. 🍂🐇

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

BREAKING: SCOTUS Lets Trump Fire FTC Commissioner 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/michaelp...

Breaking: Jimmy Kimmel to return Tuesday.

I should point out that I'M BORED also went on to be a @jrlibraryguild.bsky.social selection & @nytimes.com Notable Children's Book, despite that first review. Strongly recommend authors & illus work to develop a thick skin; it's the only way to stay sane in the book publishing industry.

To book creators: Don't get discouraged by poor reviews. 1st review I rec'd for 1st #KidLit book I illustrated, written by the brilliant @michaelianblack.bsky.social, ended with "Ironically, boring." It still sells well & I'm still getting royalty checks 13 yrs later. debbieohi.com/im-picture-b...

⚡️🇮🇹BREAKING: Italy is holding a powerful 24-hour national strike demanding an end to Italian arms sales to Israel, sanctions, to ending the genocide and justice for Palestine. Footage from the top of Termini station in Rome.

The British government has updated its maps, now using the name Palestine alongside the West Bank.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

The fact that he laid so much of the foundation with his “war on terror,” Patriot Act excesses, Guantanamo Bay etc. means he has even more responsibility for speaking up and saying, enough! And if he is good with what’s happening then we need to hear that too. 2/

I would like Never Trump Republicans to demand that George W. Bush appear and speak up for democracy in this country. Why do ppl always ask Obama to do things and “where is Kamala”? Where is the 43rd President of the United States while democracy crashes & burns. This is the party he led. 1/

The publishing process doesn't get easier, and even if you have multiple books under your belt, you're still going to feel like an impostor. But at some point, you'll be in the middle of dealing with an annoying process challenge or working at a plot issue,

THERE NEEDS TO BE A FULL SCALE, INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION INTO WHAT HAPPENED TO TREY REED IMMEDIATELY!

Welp.

Oh, well this is fucking awful

If you found that Jimmy Kimmel getting pulled due to FCC coercion was a heinous attack on free speech (& it sure as hell is!) wait till you hear about the 10,000 books that have been banned in schools & libraries! If you're an author, join the fight @authorsabb.bsky.social We're stronger together!

Israeli forces kill at least 43 people across Gaza since dawn as death toll from man-made famine rises to 441.

I'm so glad you're okay! 🧊 📸 Curtis Evans, USMC intelligence during Reagan. bsky.app/profile/bebo...

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

I will have even more on this growing crisis tomorrow. In the meantime, you can support Democracy Docket’s pro-democracy mission by becoming a member today. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

The last 24 hours have made clear that independent and pro-democracy media is more important than ever. I founded Democracy Docket in the crucible of 2020 to be just that. It will never bow down. It will never give in. It will never compromise. Sign up now to support its work! hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

BREAKING: CDC's ACIP just voted 8-3 to change vaccine recomendation and stop recommending MMRV to children as their first dose.

Thank you for sharing this 🧵 @wardjenkins.bsky.social , and I’m sending you 🕊️.

I cannot stress this enough: do not use email for organizing. Set strict retention so emails delete after a short period of time. Assume every Big Tech company will rat you out to the gestapo without lifting a finger to protect your rights theintercept.com/2025/09/16/g...

Suggestion: A strike of musicians, writers, hosts, actors, lighting, electricians--everyone, shutting down all TV studios, until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. This is the kind of action we need, instead of sitting around just waiting to be gutted.

This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.

The Free Speech President has now pulled two of the three major late night hosts off the air through threats and intimidation because of their jokes. Obviously I’m behind Jimmy Kimmel 100% in the face of this fascist garbage. Speech against this admin isn’t just being chilled, they’re freezing it.

BREAKING: First Colbert. Now Kimmel. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

this is quite genuinely insane, and I want to believe the backlash to this will be severe

Omg did not realize until watching @chrislhayes.bsky.social that ICE had a warrant for four Latino men when they came onsite to the GA plant. So basically they saw a lot of other nonwhite people and just decided to detain them all?? What’s the reasonable suspicion

And by “a lot” I mean like, *500* people

to recap, the Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison, is about to control the following: -Paramount Skydance (CBS, Nickleodeon, Comedy Central, MTV, BET + Paramount and Skydance studios) -Warner Discovery (HBO, CNN, TBS and TNT, WB studios + various other TV networks) -TikTok

Karina Villa protecting her constituents by literally running ICE off the streets in West Chicago and yelling to residents to stay inside their homes.

* ORACLE, SILVER LAKE, ANDREESSEN TO CONTROL TIKOK IN US: WSJ $ORCL

So TikTok will become another Trump aligned social media outlet.

Stocking up the Little Free Libraries in your town is a great way to make sure they circulate AND a fun way to explore your neighborhood! Find some near you here:

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

If you are close to anyone who died of pancreatic cancer, as many of us are, this is astonishingly great news. Let us hope it is true, and let us hope that the work is allowed to continue in the current situation.

Robert Redford, the big-screen idol turned Oscar-winning director, Sundance Film Festival founder and environmental activist, died on Tuesday. He was 89. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/m...

A mainstream outlet finally does more than repeat the official BS statement from ICE about the shooting of Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez. This man's death should be a national scandal. Grateful for indy journalists who questioned the official narrative that corporate outlets mindlessly echoed last week.

Tonight, DOJ dropped still another assault case. This time it's a woman who allegedly spit on a deputy U.S. marshal, and, when asked whether she had done that, replied “I sure the [expletive] did. And I’d spit again, you [expletive].” DOJ has charged her with a misdemeanor in local court instead.

A Black student from Grenada, Trey Reed, was found dead hanging from a tree AG Delta State University in Mississippi. Authorities say "no foul play suspected" but that seems highly doubtful. www.wapt.com/article/delt...

BREAKING: The DC Circuit has *rejected* Trump's bid to fire Lisa Cook from the Fed board, allowing her to participate in tomorrow's interest-rate setting meeting. Trump's last hope is a quick stay from SCOTUS. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Democratic elected officials, here's some unsolicited advice. People are looking for leadership. Right now. This moment. Someone, anyone, take the konch and forcefully respond to JD Vance and Stephen Miller's promise to declare war against America. Speak up now. Press conference today.

Have you ever seen a Melibe nudibranch swimming?
