I never know what day #kidlitartpostcard is so let's pretend I nailed it and it's today even though it's not. I'm a picture book and kids' comic illustrator in both trad pub and #selfpublishing realms. The image posted is a concept piece for a friend's #middlegrade #graphicnovel script.

If i wasn't already trying a glp-1 I'd totally try this trial.

Fwiw it is helping me feel a lot better.

#longcovid folks give it a look to see if it might be a good fit! Especially if you're team "weight gain" like me 😜
We've just launched the first large, site-less (home, direct to participant) randomized trial for treatment of #LongCovid, testing tirzepatide (a GLP-1 drug) vs placebo. Please help spread the word

A family member in Portland Oregon died unexpectedly and left behind a 2 year old husky who is currently on a 5 day hold in a shelter while I try to figure out a way to get her to me here in Portland Maine so that I can adopt her...without it costing All the Money.

Anyone have any ideas?

My SIL asked me "how we're doing" in #WarRavagedPortland while I was working on this new #spoonie #comic #journal. This video captured the vibe I want people to see. Meanwhile we're teaching our kids to value truth and community

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Hey, @jay.bsky.team.

As a disabled person, it's disheartening to see one of the foundational pushers of alt text, a Black STEM voice, a queer advocate, and a huge voice for the disabled community gone over a poor taste joke.

Having Link here is good for so many people.

Please reconsider?

COVID Isn’t a Cold. It’s Cigarettes All Over Again.

5 years into this experiment: we let COVID rip and pretended it was fine. Damage piled up—unlike smoking’s slow toll, we’re seeing it in real time. Every infection leaves a mark; even “mild.” The bill comes due. We chose denial

#novavax is at Costco in NE Portland if anyone is seeking it. You don't need to be a member to make an appointment w the pharmacy and they take insurance except Kaiser. You do have to sign a self-attest that you need it but they just said "check this box, k great".

So I may be without a ticket for NYCC on Friday. If anyone has any leads for one, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll just need to meet up with people outside the show.

Today I worked a Scholatic book fair and the most drama was someone who couldn't find a journal shaped like a llama until the librarian located another in a box. The horrors i tell you 😅

Telehealth is an essential accommodation for people with disabilities.

Going to an appointment can set back our baseline for days, not to mention the risk of getting COVID or another hospital acquired infection.

Great post below on how you can advocate to ensure Medicare doesn’t cut Telehealth
There's a Medicare telehealth cliff at the end of this month that will impact other health insurance plans beyond just Medicare.

This post ⤵️ will walk you through how to effectively advocate for telehealth in ways that actually influence the outcome...
