How profoundly sad. The kids deprived of reading Calvin and Hobbes are the kids who need them the most. My brother put it best: "We know we’re fucked when they come for your cartoon stuffed tigers." Let's go sit in the grass and crack open "The Days are Just Packed." pen.org/magic-tree-h...

This is a reference to the iconic, Pulitzer-winning image of a Vietnam War protester. He later moved to SF, renamed himself Hibiscus and formed a drag troupe called the Cockettes. Happy Pride!

This is bonkers. The Senate is trying to sell off 3.3 MILLION acres of public land to raise money. This land is your land, as the song says. If you want to keep it that way, call your Senator and raise Holy hell. www.newsweek.com/map-federal-...

For 3 days, I hung out near the Pacific coast hoping for clouds to break for some sunset photography. Unfortunately, they never did, so I decided to just get above them. Watch as clouds flow off the Pacific Ocean, over the Gavilan Range, and into the San Benito Valley at sunset.

People are describing I Think I'm in Love with an Alien as "a warm hug" and "a book that feels very gentle". It's not the same book that I've written before, but I do love this one. I hope you take it to your heart too. I don't usually talk about stuff like this, but...

While I applaud Democrats attempting to do something, they should not do this unless they're willing to walk right past off-brand Steve Bannon. Standing there helplessly, asking to enter, then getting turned away by a guy in a Hawaiian shirt is not a flex. You look impotent to voters.

It's worth noting that if you're cash strapped and have KU, you can read I Think You're in Love with an Alien. There's also a Kindle giveaway on GoodReads. www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho... While telling y'all about these two things may hurt my chance of making a list, I'd rather help readers. ❣️

"First responders" needs to be abolished from style guides because its purpose is to smuggle cops into a category that includes EMTs and firefighters. The phrase is deliberate copaganda that allows abusers to borrow an aura of respectability from other groups.

In Portland, OR, at a No Kings protest, thousands are slowly marching on the road that abuts the waterfront park, following a rally. There’s a marching band. I pass someone who comments: “this is beginning to take on Macy’s parade proportions.” Keep up with @portlandmercury.com for more.

City councilors met with PPB Cheif Day today to discuss policies to keep police from cooperating w/feds, if they’re sent to PDX protests in the future. Councilor Avalos: “We are operating under a fascist regime. It’s my responsibility to propose new laws and policies to protect our constituents.”
