One of the Minnesotans who stood up was Gust Johnson, a Vietnam war vet and nurse

He went to scene after Alex Pretti was killed

Agents repeatedly sprayed him in face

They tackled him (knocking out hearing aid and cutting arm)

They shackled him.

They held him ten hours.

They kept his phone.

Someday, this is going to be over. When it is we will have so much work to do trying to heal what's been shattered, and to mourn how much has been lost. And after we've grappled with how to do both, we are going to go after the centrists who got us here.

#libraryloot The librarian called me a #poweruser. LOL I was there on a Sunday evening and the place was brimming with activity. A sweet boy serenaded himself as I picked out books in the graphic novel aisle. Families hang out, socialize, and read, of course. What a wonderful #readingtime #readers

BONE + BLOSSOM

This is inspired by Alice & Mary from North Woods by Daniel Mason. That book absolutely enraptured me. Daniel Mason is incandescent in his darkness and eccentric in wit. It’s a treasure. I hope you’ll read it.

A girl in a pink dress clutches a bag to her chest, while being led through a spooky forest by two small elves in forest-themed armour. Menacing black birds stare from the top of the trees.

Happy #kidlitpostcard day! I'm a Canadian illustrator in Toronto, and I love bright colours, fun characters, and adventure! Looking for work in Middle Grade and picture books. I'm also interested in comics for early readers!

Day 5 - Depth

From the soft waves of the coast to the crushing pressure of the darkness at the bottom, the ocean bring life and death, mystery and calmness
