We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Three ites are goofing around. The one in the middle (flat top) stands grumpy, while the two on the ends (flat bottoms) are doing handstands to look like the middle one, smiling/teasing.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

There was so much more I wanted to say and explore in the book. Like I’m still figuring things out about myself and current social anxieties. I’m happy to hear the book resonated with you. And hope you’re doing well.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

Six days ago, the Trump administration strong-armed ABC and Disney into suspending Jimmy Kimmel.

Thousands of Americans spoke out to protest this blatant attack on free speech, and now Kimmel will return to television tomorrow.

Never doubt the power of collective action.

Authors & publishers posting abt illustrated books or using an illustrator's work to promote a book, pls credit ILLUSTRATOR.

Not only are you helping boost artist but it shows people that you or your publisher hired a HUMAN artist.

Wow! So true. Love Mizuki as the counter to the toxic workaholic trope of the mangaka. Get sleep. Enjoy your life. You’ll live longer.

Kenny Lauderdale @kennylauderdale.bsky.social · Jan 13

Tezuka & Ishinomori both died at 60. Mizuki (the creator of GeGeGe no Kitarō) died at 93. I think about this a lot.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

Hey #kidlit illustrators!

We’re beginning to think through a mythology-themed beginning-reader series. I'm looking for someone w/ a commercial/punchy, character-forward style who can breath life into ancient lore.

Please respond w/ samples + folio link.
Please no emails/DMs.
