Thank you! I unfortunately don’t do many re-follows these days, especially private accounts.

It truly is. So many people are fighting for you, but I realize it must feel like not even close to enough, so much of the time.

Same! 💖

Oh gods, this part, yes. 🤯😱😫

Oooh, I like how the scene holds my focus on the three gleeful kids (Felix’s extra-smug grin makes him stand out as the Group Leader/Head Troublemaker)…and then, slowly, I notice the big shadow in the background. This would make a great movie poster!

LOL! His expression is adorably unamused.

Hope everyone had a safe and delightful evening, whether you were greeting or trick or treating!

Yes, but by the numbers game, the farther this spreads, the more morally-NON-corrupted people will look at this and join the next protest or contribute to their local immigration help orgs.

THIS is why I actively defend freedom, even when all hope seems lost. When I’m overwhelmed with despair. This motto — “No evil can be done in secret anymore” — is what recharges me.

We have smartphones. We have the internet. We CAN prevent the dea+th of democracy.

Of events like the Vilnius TV tower protest on January 13, 1991. Fourteen civilians were k!lled by Soviet troops, who were still trying to control our national media. This was AFTER Lithuania declared independence.

They escaped because a student warned them they were on The List. As teachers, they were considered a threat.

I grew up deeply immersed in the VERY RECENT history of Siberian prison camps. Of our language & literature being suppressed.

No evil can be done in secret anymore.

Let me explain:

I have this personal motto to keep me aggressively hopeful enough to keep fighting.

My great-grandparents grew up behind the Iron Curtain. They just barely escaped being sent to Siberia.

Share this far & wide. Even if that’s all you’re able to do—my aggressively hopeful motto is “No evil can be done in secret anymore.” It’s a reassurance AND a call-to-action.

I was SO delighted to see you were covering Moo Hoo! I’d read it myself recently, at one of my local library branches, and it validated my own lifelong tendency (as an Autistic person) toward overwhelming emotions. Like Milton & Wanda, I’ve also found awesome people who honor me as I am. 💖🌈🦋

Why Did These Authors Have Their School Visit Canceled? They Were Talking About Their Book About Book Bans. Country Club Elementary School in California's Bay Area canceled an author visit moments before it began. Why? It covered book bans.

If you and your children are not ready for a particular book, that is okay. It is not okay to limit the access to books, stories, and experiences for other families. Every book is not for everyone, but every book is for someone.

A little Weirdness for your Wednesday. #getweird #whimsigoth

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Awww! 🥰

I think it looks awesome! Both artsy AND realistic.

Oh my god, yes!!! It does look like the Bowie faces! 🤩

Awwww I mean Oooooooh!!!

I love the 3D effect in the sign! It’s like he’s popping out for a sec to congratulate himself for the Inktober achievement! Or doing a self-photob0mb. 😄

Mad props for disliking a character and still doing her justice! I can totally hear this sketch belting out “Girls of Rock and Roll!” 🤟🤩

Ooooh! I really like this! The grey lines definitely work—I get a clear sense of an invisible energy build-up. Erik’s expression also really sells it!

Woah! That’s definitely a compelling story right there! Her expression and the claw marks speak some intense volumes! 👀
