For all you Jim Woodring fans out there. A select few initiates will recognize this ancient cryptic symbol. Spotted in Tacoma near my hood.

As a child, I was obsessed with the book Faeries by Brian Froud & Alan Lee. My mom wouldn't buy the book for me (the book just came out & I was 6 years old). Every time we would visit the local bookstore, I'd run to grab the book & read it. I loved the leprechaun hats!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

In college, Laura Ingraham went to a Gay Students meeting. The next day, she published the names of everyone in attendance in the school newspaper, at a time when being outed was dangerous.

So, yeah, appointing a menace to gay people is a GREAT selection to lead our nation's [checks notes] arts.

From Conversations with Maurice, edited by Peter C. Kunze. This is a conversation between Dr. Seuss and Sendak in 1979. Still relevant in 2025.

Anyone in need of an editor for their upcoming project? Konner is highly recommended ✅
Today I was laid off from Dark Horse Comics. While devastating news, I'm so proud of what I helped make there and am grateful to have worked alongside such amazing coworkers and creators.

I'm not quitting comics yet, so if you or someone you know needs a savvy editor please reach out.

My why? Making books for children is a radical action, b/c becoming literate is a radical action, b/c self identifying as a reader is a radical action, b/c reading with the explicit goal of gaining self knowledge is a radical action. These are radical actions b/c they literally change the world.

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests.

We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason.

Thousands of books have been targeted for removal from school and public libraries. 

In fact, we've been tracking thousands of book bans here.

Yet, the U.S. Dept of Education released a statement calling book bans a hoax!

Book bans have not been a Biden-era hoax, and we have the receipts to prove it.
