A new Super PAC, "Chicago Progressive Partnership," just jumped into #IL09, opposing Kat Abughazaleh. Filings show they’re using the same vendors as AIPAC.

A broader takeaway I think is nobody should be allowed to be so rich that being told no, or being held accountable, represents such a moral injury to that person's psyche that they feel like their only recourse is to burn the world down.

As mentioned somewhere else I find Cafes inspiring. Something about being in a different setting and having people around sparks my imagination. #kidlitart

Takes a deep breath. Shaun Tan, Dave McKean, Tom Gauld, Jon Klassen, Matthew Forsythe… to name a few! #kidlitart

This is so true! It’s great being inspired by people that do things we cannot do ourselves or art so different to our style. For example I love reading/watching horror, but it’s not something I like to do! #kidlitart

I agree that banging our heads is not productive, but sometimes it’s necessary to be stubborn and plow through. Perfection is not needed, as we can always improve what we’ve already laid down. #kidlitart

I also agree with the cafe-inspired breakthroughs! Being surrounded by people helps me sometimes. #kidlitart

Do something else. Then return to the art piece of text. Sometimes a few hours later, other times a few weeks later! 😬 #kidlitart

The sound of running water is almost magical. #kidlitart
