Here's your rainy holiday weekend reminder: the 5th anniversary of #KidLitArtPostcard is June 4th! I'm suggesting a theme for our illustrations: You, as a kid. Learn more about the event here: www.ginaperry.com/postcard #kidlit

This security guard died protecting children at the Islamic Center of San Diego. If you can help support his family, it would go a long way. www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

This makes me hopeful and happy.

I’m going to be at @roundaboutbookshop.bsky.social in Bend this Thursday at 6:30 to talk, draw, and sign books.

Behold the snake.

I’m enjoying the PITT quite a bit, however, I just want to see one scene where someone washes their hands with soap and water for once. Just once. That’s all I need. “Blood on my hands?” I’ll just rub it around with hand sanitizer,” isn’t a good look.

Bike Buses rule!

We are living in a timeline so dumb it's exhausting.

So fun to hang out with @danacorn.bsky.social !

show my students this all the time - and usually it's the first time any of them have even heard of a crossbar I and have never noticed it prior. But they usually remember :)

TOPIC: Do you have warm-up exercises you do before you work? Fast writing? Drawing from a prompt? Reading something? Do you have a startup routine (that involves anything other than eating pie, which is a given when possible)? #kidlitchat

one of the most powerful foundations for your art you can build is to take your own dang reference photos.

Breaking News: A New Jersey woman who took part in pro-Palestinian demonstrations at Columbia University in 2024 has been released from a federal detention center in Texas, where she had been held for more than a year. She has not been charged with a crime. nyti.ms/4sJs8In

I will be at Green Bean Books today at 2:00 PM. There will be cake!

I’ll be at Literary Arts tonight to read an excerpt from my Oregon Book Award-nominated graphic novel Speechless, along with 11 other OBA nominees starting at 6:00. literary-arts.org/event/2026-o...

Bay Area folks, please come see me and @oneofthejohns.bsky.social and @nidhiart.bsky.social battle it out at Rakestraw Books on March 3rd at 4:30, Books on B on March 5 at 4:00, and @lindentree.bsky.social on March 6 at 6:00 to find out who will be the winner of the coveted golden pencil.

Today is a great day to donate to the ALCU of Kansas! www.aclukansas.org

This is the way!

Woo hoo! This one is so much fun, can’t wait!!

wow seems like a thing that pretty much everyone in every workforce should be united against

I often have very little to say on this platform. But I’m glad it exists. I’m glad it worked. I’m not sure if we all took stock in that Bluesky worked as the alternative we were looking to build.

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

I am not a fan of sprayed book edges.

If you distort your face by puffing out your cheeks, furrowing your brow, and frowning, will that foil/confuse facial recognition tech?

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Trump claims “nobody will care” that he’s trying to steal billions from taxpayers because he’ll give it to charity 🤥 (he won’t) If Obama even dreamed this Republicans would’ve lost their damn minds

BREAKING: Democrat Taylor Rehmet flips GOP-held Texas state Senate seat in special election for district Trump handily won in 2024.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

Personally I think this is too much money for Donald trumps untrained heavily armed militia

It was an honor to be on The Children’s Book Podcast this week with host @matthewcwinner.bsky.social we talk about Speechless and kids comics. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

We have achieved a new frontier in MAGA fundraising: pay up or be deported

This is what a sea change looks like

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

People, unions, organizations, businesses, all of them, speak out about ICE, keep pushing, keep being annoying. We are fighting fascism, it's everywhere, and we need to stamp it out.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

“LET US OUT!” women & children scream for help inside a detention camp in TEXAS, where private prisons like core civic make billions of taxpayer dollars holding them while abusing, neglecting them, refusing them health care, feeding them dirty food & water, etc. In our name🇺🇸

Just found out this dude’s store is called Dreamhaven Books. dreamhavenbooks.com

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."

Today is the turning point. I don’t know where it leads, but it’s one way or another. Stay strong.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

The DHS funding bill is effectively dead in the Senate.

Beware propaganda demonizing all Democrats. Their goal is apathy and getting you to not vote. Republicans have control of all levels of the federal govt. Yes, some Dems suck. But if we had control of just one chamber that would make a huge difference.

Wow -- Fanone coughs "go fuck yourself" to Trey Nehls as Nehls blames Capitol Police leadership for January 6

I like blocking AI art accounts that try to follow me.
