Just six more days until Miss Camper is released!! Here’s a preview of Sue’s summer fashion creations. After my debut book, I learned the importance of having character model sheets ready, as they’re incredibly useful for maintaining continuity! #kidlit #graphicnovels

The countdown has officially started! With only a week left until Miss Camper hits bookstore shelves, I'm sharing exclusive behind-the-scenes content across social media.

Don’t forget to preorder your copy or ask your local bookstore to set one aside for you.

Throughout my life, I've struggled with self-image & understanding femininity. However, recently I've found comfort in connecting with divine feminine energy, like the Aztec goddess Xochiquétzal & Mayan goddess Ixchel. Working with them feels empowering & has reshaped my perception of femininity.

Since moving to Austin, I’ve been drawn to Nopales, a symbol of resilience and bittersweet transformation. Even in tough times, we’re allowed to dream. Don’t lose hope ❤️‍🩹

Once again, it is time to remind people who are using Duolingo to learn new languages to switch to alternatives that have qualified human teachers.

Hi I used to work at Starbucks customer service: if you call or email about this, they are absolutely tracking those numbers, and a sufficient amount of public pushback does make them rethink shit sometimes, so now would be an EXCELLENT time to let them know they’re being ableist shitheads

I've been enrolled in a public art training program at the Dougherty Arts Center, which has been helping me in come up with ideas for murals I want to create. I could imagine this one by a wall covered with plants, with its eyes glowing in the dark 🌿👀🌿

It's hard to explain to people outside this fight that Texas is currently trying to ban kids from using public libraries... but they are; it's passed out of committee, and it's going to a floor vote.

🚨If you know ANYONE in Texas it's time for them to call their reps and demand NO ON HB3225🚨
Bad. Despite the voucher debate, the Tx State Affairs committee met and voted FOR HB3225. This bill would require public libraries to have age restrictions and cordone off parts of the library as inaccessible to teens. @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social @penamerica.bsky.social @everylibrary.bsky.social

When Clive Barker was working on the MUMMY remake for Universal in the early '90s, he had a trans character in the script, and when the studio vetoed it, he basically said "I really can't stress how much I don't need to fucking make THE MUMMY" and left.
