I’ve seen denser crowds on a Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.

RFK's most recent offensive ableist statements felt like a call to action. He said an autistic child will never write a poem, among other things. Well, I wrote this one for him last night.

Happy #transdayofvisibility! It's a good day to speak out to protect and uplift trans kids (and grown ups, too)! These people deserve so much love and support, and we can all do our part to cultivate a future that is more inclusive and welcoming for them. 🧵 1/3

Testing the Flashes app with this drawing my daughter did to teach me “how to draw a horse better.” Horses have always been a struggle for me, so this horse lives at my desk now.

Two more of baby. Baby is unbothered by bedtime, but my baby hates it.

My 2yo adores a hyper-realistic baby doll that I’ve had since I was a baby. It always creeped me out a little, but she has bonded with “baby,” and now I kind of love baby, too. Some facts about baby:
1) Baby is always naked.
2) The proper way to carry Baby is upside down.
3) Baby is durable.

Happy that the fudge worked out! Honestly things have been hard since the inauguration. My family is directly affected by recent EOs, and it hangs like a cloud over us. Nice to focus on something else today. HCD always makes me thoughtful, especially this year. Thanks for following along, folks! 🖤

I can’t stand the sound of noisy swallowing… unless it’s my kids chugging water. #hourlycomicday #hourlycomicday2025 #hourlycomicsday

If you see this, quote your own night/dark art.

Made a whole book of night art! Cosmic Wonder: Halley’s Comet and Humankind looks at the history of Halley’s Comet and its visits to Earth. Pretty much all set at night. 🌙

The kids’ comics, for those who are curious. HCD through the eyes of a 6 and a 2 year old.

Feeling angry on behalf of this historical figure a lot these days.
