Trump and RFK Jr. say today's kids are "the sickest generation in American history." Is that just a feeling? Here are some facts:
About 46% of children born in the U.S. in 1800 did not live to see their 5th birthday. In 1900, the figure was 24%. Now it's under 1%.

And what I want Black creators to remember, and Palestinian creators to remember, and trans creators to remember, is that you were chosen because they finally looked. And when they looked at your work, they saw what they had been missing.

YES, PLEASE, especially if it also uplifted ERASURE by Percival Everett.
i'll make a comic about "white guilt". it's about how white ppl are so racist that they think we can't tell when they're just patronizing us and don't actually care about or understand our art. they think their word is law and they are natural arbiters of taste (which they stole from Black ppl).

I testified against HB900 in the last session, as did an eighth-grader. If you fall anywhere between "published author" and "middle schooler," love the freedom to read, and can make it to to the Capitol in Austin this Thursday to testify, I hope you will.
