I never know what day #kidlitartpostcard is so let's pretend I nailed it and it's today even though it's not. I'm a picture book and kids' comic illustrator in both trad pub and #selfpublishing realms. The image posted is a concept piece for a friend's #middlegrade #graphicnovel script.

A determined white anthropomorphic bunny holds tight to a rope made of sheets tied together as they climb out the window, beyond which we see two moons and a fae tree. Their room is lit by candlelight and their brass bed is unmade, with a stack of books and under it. There is a wooden chest overflowing with clothing. A callout box says "Sarah E Steinberg, represented by Allison Remcheck at Stimola for traditional publishing... available for self-published picture books and comic illustration, inking, coloring, and other collaboration at sarahesteinberg.com"

Is Portland Burning?

No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

My SIL asked me "how we're doing" in #WarRavagedPortland while I was working on this new #spoonie #comic #journal. This video captured the vibe I want people to see. Meanwhile we're teaching our kids to value truth and community

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

Hey, @jay.bsky.team.

As a disabled person, it's disheartening to see one of the foundational pushers of alt text, a Black STEM voice, a queer advocate, and a huge voice for the disabled community gone over a poor taste joke.

Having Link here is good for so many people.

Please reconsider?

Seeing the dude in the frog suit get pepper sprayed was 🤬. Also the 80 year old couple who were shot in the head and tackled.

Scare-ah E. Steinboo @sarahesteinberg.bsky.social · 2d

I mean yeah it's been happening but if they don't want to believe it they just go "oh you're cherry picking your filming blah blah" so. Not that i think giving up works though, we'll keep it going.

Congratulations and... Ooh I'm so glad I saw this because I haven't read Embers yet!

Scare-ah E. Steinboo @sarahesteinberg.bsky.social · 6d

It's an averaging tool. I'm a good writer and it's never going to give me something better than average. No thanks.

COVID Isn’t a Cold. It’s Cigarettes All Over Again.

5 years into this experiment: we let COVID rip and pretended it was fine. Damage piled up—unlike smoking’s slow toll, we’re seeing it in real time. Every infection leaves a mark; even “mild.” The bill comes due. We chose denial

archive.md/Jyi7k

A vintage 1946 Camel cigarette advertisement shows a smiling older white man in a doctor’s coat holding a cigarette. The slogan claims “More Doctors Smoke Camels Than Any Other Cigarette.” Above the ad, bold yellow text reads “COVID Isn’t a Cold. It’s Cigarettes All Over Again,” drawing a parallel between COVID risks and the tobacco industry’s history of downplaying harm.

Ps they had samples of pumpkin spice donuts and pumpkin spice bread right next to the vax tent (in between the self check and the floral fridge) so i got a lil treat after 😁

#novavax is at Costco in NE Portland if anyone is seeking it. You don't need to be a member to make an appointment w the pharmacy and they take insurance except Kaiser. You do have to sign a self-attest that you need it but they just said "check this box, k great".
