I started a blog substack.com/@svtworks , did some reflecting and there was much to be grateful for that led me to my kidlit journey and connected me with creatives (and of course books).
Also the blogging is an exercise to tell quick stories and have fun doodling. It's a catchall -after coffee.

Bluesky has actually been remarkably successful as an app within a relatively short time frame. Expecting it to have the same metrics as some of the biggest apps in the world is stupid. What really matters is having content that people care about, especially if it travels outside the platform itself

Today we honor Dr. King by remembering that his legacy wasn’t comfort or quiet it was courage, sacrifice, and resistance in the face of injustice. He knew progress is never handed down; it’s pushed forward by ordinary people who refuse to accept inequality as normal.

One tough thing for people who get abducted by ICE is that they have no charges against them, so nobody from the agency is attached to their detainment. They just get held up, roughed up, and robbed of their valuables for no reason until ICE figures that out, and then they get dumped outside.

Bluskiers - What's a good graphic novel adaptation of Macbeth? My step-kid is learning about it and I would love to give them something that could engage them a bit more than just the text.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

The amount of restraint the people of Minneapolis have shown is INCREDIBLE. Fucking INCREDIBLE. We don't need our leaders lecturing us like children.
ICE is kidnapping and beating and MURDERING us and we're out here with fucking whistles and phones and an occasional snowball.

wooof having watched that presser just now, "don't take the bait" is a real shit thing to tell people who are, by all knowledge and information and evidence, acting in defense of themselves and their neighbors and their communities
