Happy #transdayofvisibility

Hi, I’m Dana. I’m the first out trans person to be a syndicated cartoonist. Your kids think I’m cool.

I stay visible because I have that luxury. In particular, I want trans kids who are struggling to look at me and see that you can grow up and be yourself and be happy.

How to tell a raven from a crow. An older guide I made with Dr Kaeli Swift. And yes that's an aileron roll, not a barrel roll, but only us nerds know that :)
A chart called "how to tell a raven from a crow". An illustration shows that the common raven has long, fancy throat feathers, but the American crow has smooth throat feathers. The raven has a wedge-shaped tail and the crow has a fan-shaped tail. The raven croaks, saying "crroak crroak", but the crow caws, saying "caw caw caw". The raven regularly barrel rolls, and is shown doing a fun roll in the sky, with the sound effect whooooosh. The crow less regularly barrel rolls, and it's shown flying awkwardly and saying "Am I doing it now??" while another crow replies "ummm almost".

Let’s let everyone just like what they like and be who they are.

Pink isn’t less. That’s the point of rainbows, man.

With sparkles,

Every book any kid borrows from our library is a nutritious dinner book!

Every single book any kid checks out is a simultaneously a dessert book!

Every book is a complete meal for anybody who wants to devour it.

No more library book shaming toxicity.

A thing I made awhile back. Yellow background, purple text down the middle, decorated with clip arty cc-free images of stack of books, phone with headphones and words audio book, a comic/picturebook looking item, an iPad screen… My text says: Not every book, or genre, or form is for everybody. But everybody should not have to conform to somebody else's reading preferences. Reading is reading is listening is reading is viewing is reading... Another thing I made awhile back. Yellow background with purple text—no images. Says: Real Talk Rant: If you are a librarian, teacher, parent, random adult-anyone attempting to get kids to read more-and you still somehow think that graphic novels aren't "real" or "appropriate" reading... well, you are IRRELEVANT. You are wrong, and the kids you're telling this nonsense to know you're wrong-thus, they will never believe any other thing you tell them about reading. So, step aside. Move along. I've got a stack of GNs ready to booktalk!! Another thing I made to speak against book shaming. Plain white background, cc-free images of one drawn generic book standing up, one lying on its side, which I’ve superimposed a big question mark over, then layered black text with white outlining over it all… Says: Patron recommendations: It's about matching the reader's likes and interests to some books and leaving out your judgment of those books @ExLibrisMrHunt One last thing that I made about a book is a book is a book—they’re all for everybody. Green, half faded stamp letter caps text on a black background says, I ALWAYS TELL THE OLDER STUDENTS IN THE SCHOOL THAT THEY CAN'T BE TOO OLD FOR PICTURE BOOKS BECAUSE I'M A GROWN ADULT AND I STILL LOVE THE STORIES & ARTWORK IN PICTURE BOOKS; PLUS, I EVEN GET PAID TO FIND THEM, BUY THEM, AND READ THEM! - @EXLIBRISMRHUNT

At a Cake concert John McCrea got one half of the audience singing the line “Sheep Go to Heaven” and the other half singing the next line, “Goats go to hell.” He kept egging the sides on until he got to “You hate them! They’re the enemy!” and everyone realized what he was doing. It’s too easy.

Deep into a re-read of the Mignolaverse which is providing a therapeutic distraction from *all this*. (Thanks @humblebundle.bsky.social !) A lot of us feeling like HB lately…

fixed it
a screenshot of the following excerpt from an Op Ed: "There's a bakery in downtown Houston that makes beef pho kolaches. Pho is Vietnamese soup; kolaches are Czech pastries. The combination is more American than bald eagles. The United States is obviously failing to regulate immigration. Over the past four years, … Holy crap let's go!" The snippet "The United States is obviously failing to regulate immigration. Over the past four years, …" is marked in red and has a strikethrough, indicating removal. The sentence "Holy crap let's go!" is marked in green, indicating addition.
