Every now and then when I say something that contradicts the idea of America in my newsletter I lose a few folks. Kind of like a filter. Bye bye.

honestly hate that every time there's an industry bad actor, lists of "works by marginalized authors to support instead" start circulating like it's a moral obligation to be done out of guilt, & it's crickets every other day of the year. my art is not to be taken in as a reactionary measure

Born on this day in 1883, San Francisco native Rube Goldberg made his mark creating comics of complex devices for simple tasks. In 1995, the U.S. Post Office released a stamp featuring his 1931 cartoon 'Professor Butts and the Self-Operating Napkin.'

If you make any kind of art and call yourself a "content creator" I will go angry mom on your ass so fast. "Content" is corporate pabulum. You make art. Call yourself an artist, hold your head up high, and don't help bean-counters and empty suits to degrade you. They'll do that on their own.

When someone tells u that a book you've written or illustrated has helped a child or families get thru a difficult time. Got damn, there is no better feeling. Awards are nice but when a family or child praises it, that-is an amen, a "right on" if you will. #kidlit #writing #publishing #evictions

Random thought: The prob w/ news reporting on sideshows/ crime constantly is that often Black/Brown folks words, stories, bodies don't exist in media conscious unless it involves a crime. What about the uplifting, beautiful, hard work people are doing daily? ....Who's narrative are they promoting?
