;') Got a busy day before and after work so no time to color this... But I owe a lot to KH being a formative game with story, music and visuals for my preteen self. Did I make an army of KH-themed OCs and mutliverses? Yes, I did, and I'd do it again, haha 🎨

Every single study that gives cash to homeless folks dramatically reduces homelessness and is staggeringly less costly than incarceration and institutionalization.
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Also: writing is a skill not a magic power. It’s furniture building, not communing with the muses. Settle down and just do the work, enjoy it, and stop trying to pretend it’s some deep magical power. It’s a craft. A fun challenging one! But a craft. Relax.

As a 90s kid, I was a hUGe Pokemon fan and honestly, still am for the most part. X) My earliest OCs and little comics *were* based on little Pokemon AUs, so gotta tip my hat to Red/Blue and the KidsWB dub for spawning a thousand drawings as a kid 🎨 #kidlit #kidlitart

A programming suggestion for my fellow school librarians. Every winter break I offer book bundles for students and educators. They fill out a form then I pull 3 related books, gift wrap them, and deliver them to each person. It's hella popular and great for collection development.

Comics writers and artists — please request your favorite colorists and letterers when working on a new project with a publisher. Can’t hurt to ask. (And if you don’t really care who letters/colors your work…that’s disappointing on a lot of levels.)

if you're one person making a comic by yourself, don't treat yourself like you should function on the same level as comics that have multiple people working on them. your backgrounds can be squiggles and colors.
allow yourself room to be abstract with details and give yourself some grace

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend
