You know this means a lot to me if I came back to this evil space but it's for a good cause! This auction is raising funds to support immigrant communities and those most impacted by ICE. There's a ton of other really cool stuff to bid on! 32auctions.com/organizations…

Last week I went up to Vermont to learn how to make comics at the Center for Cartoon Studies. I had never made a comic before and was a bit nervous.
We immediately jumped right in and I made my first comic in 2 hours. Over the week I discovered my own style, bringing my watercolors into the traditional comic format.
I made more art in 5 days than I have in 2 months. It was so creatively challenging in the best possible way!
I’m super grateful to my amazing teachers @glynnisfawkes and @JoKnowles! @cartoonstudies

51 new book objections filed in @oneclayschools this month by one man. He filed more than 450 book objections during the 23/24 SY, and (while it’s not clear exactly how many appeals the district has accepted) he has promised to appeal every decision to retain.
Came back to Twitter so I could see what all my old political pals were saying about today’s news. Not disappointed. 💯

This censorship era in Florida completes its third year in July.
There hasn’t been a quiet week since we started tracking statewide censorship attempts in January of 2022.
It takes them very little effort to strike, but requires 5x as much to respond. As you said, it’s so sad.
Just yesterday a 6th grader asked me what it felt like to have one of my books banned. First, I feel like I must have done something wrong. Then, I feel angry because I know I didn't. Then, I just feel really, really sad.
