I'm rezzing the Planettes art series! Planettes was/is a series of 13 ladies designed off real planet facts, with one for each planet + Pluto, the Sun, Earth's moon, and Milky Way. First up is Mars! Fun fact: Mars has two wobbly lil moons that were probably captured asteroids

I need to do some hardcore research. Research as in going to the library and sifting through children’s picture books. #kidlit

Pope Francis was the only Church leader who dared to recognize LGBTQIA+ rights, to speak out against Israel's genocide in Palestine, to denounce human rights abuses, to fight for climate and environment. I'm saddened to hear of his passing, he leaves a big legacy to uphold

Signs of spring are in full swing throughout Portland 🌸 — Lately, I’ve been revisiting sketches on my iPad that I’ve abandoned for one reason or another. After some time away, it’s refreshing as I’m working on creating for myself again. — #kidlitart #pdxart #illustration #spring

Pennies are essentially worthless. But if I stole 7 billion of them from Mark Zuckerberg, I think he’d call that theft. If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, you’re not in busiess — you’re in organized crime.

tbh it's hard to devote myself to work when all of it ever amounting to anything is completely at the whims of a publisher picking it up, and THEY'RE all at the whim of tariffs and censorship, and meanwhile it all hinges on whether hello sunshine will do well in a recession of economics and rights

I am so tired of people in power consciously making the wrong decision.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Visited the Indiana statehouse to support my library yesterday, and participated in a little “read-in” protest in front of the Lieutenant Governor’s office. #urbansketch #library

I unfortunately did not sell a single thing. I’m really trying to not be discouraged. Keep creating, friends. 💙

yesterday really confirmed for me that BlueSky is going to be my internet home base for the foreseeable. Feeling such a surge of solidarity as a community around rejecting Adobe's inroads...I like you people

NEW: ALA is going to court to stop the President’s attempts to illegally dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services. The President does not have the authority to destroy a federal agency. That's why we're taking action with our co-plaintiff @afscme.bsky.social. #ForOurLibraries (1/3)
