Since I have been reminded of it, allow me to share one of my very favorite threads of the past year:
Gorgeous! Happy new year!
Alice! Lovely! ❤️
Still editing. Getting closer to actually announcing something. Thank you for remaining interested!
That’s a relief!
Aw, thank you, James!
Dear Friends, I have an exhibition of my artwork opening at Zolla/Lieberman Gallery in Chicago this Friday, September 5th from 4:00 - 7:00 pm. It would be lovely to see you, please come!
Either heaven or the end of The Raiders of the Lost Ark...

It correlates pretty closely to advances. If they have invested in a large advance, they will usually give that book the big marketing push.
Dear Friends, I am doing a birthday fundraiser over on FB for Artists Book House's building fund. We have a $50,000 matching grant this year! It's a 1:1 match, so your donation will be doubled. Thank you! www.facebook.com/donate/18867...

Eddie and I are going to do a book event at Artists Book House soon. After that, not sure; the book is out of print so we are glad to have copies.
Audrey, Eddie, and Ken standing in an enormous warehouse in front of thousands of boxes of books. We are all smiling!
Last week @eddiecampbell.bsky.social and I went to Powell’s Books’ fantastic warehouse to pick up some copies of our Bizarre Romance. @kgerleve.bsky.social helped us (we were given 36 cases of books!) and we had a great visit. Thank you, Brad Jonas and @powellsbookschi.bsky.social !
❤️❤️❤️
It’s a beautiful place that feels very secluded.
I looked at it twice the last time it was for sale (for a good deal less money). It’s lovely.
A long line of cops in front of the Tesla dealership on 902 N. Rush Street in Chicago, after they made protesters move across the the street. Eventually there were at least 100 CPD officers protecting the dealership which had maybe 2-4 customers tops, from what I could tell. When I arrived at about 2:00 PM, there were about as many cops as protesters. Then people from the Women's Day march joined us and there were hundreds of protesters.
Today I saw a high level of anger at the massive number of cops that are protecting a Tesla dealership in Chicago. Lots of chants demanding to know why they are protecting Nazis. No one is letting CPD off the hook. This is what cops do - enable and participate in fascism. #Teslatakedown.
I wrote about the very violent, very public detention of a woman for interrupting a speaker at the Kootenai County Republican’s town hall on Saturday. In Idaho, the lines between Republican politics and political violence are thinner than they are in some places; this is a terrifying escalation.
Artists Book House wishes Edward Gorey a happy 100th birthday! Many of us here at ABH draw great inspiration from the weird, wonderful work of Edward Gorey, born here in Chicago on Feb. 22, 1925.
Trump is shutting down at midnight tonight the federal website for ordering free COVID tests (four per order).
I just ordered four—can’t be easier.
Last call.

I just ordered mine.
Who’s running this country: Donald Trump or Elon Musk? Since day one, Elon has created chaos and confusion and put our livelihoods at risk. And he is accountable to no one but himself. The Constitution only allows for one president at a time. Call Your Senators and tell them it’s time Donald Trump fire Elon Musk
The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk.
Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️

Since the Washington Post didn't want you to see the anti-Musk ad with your newspaper, please check out this website and share it around

Serendipity! Saw the current New Yorker cover with vintage Rea Irvin and wistfully thought he should be appreciated more. Opened mag and saw Seth's 4-page appreciation! A traveling 21 year old Irvin of San Francisco popped up in my book The Goat Getters, drawing sports page cartoons in Hawaii.
once again, use 5calls.org — so quick and easy
post from @h_lee_justine on threads: AOC was just on live giving us advice of what to do and she had very specific instructions depending on if your reps were Dem or repub. I'll share them but first things first you know l've been begging you to call your reps. AOC highlighted that is the BEST THING to do right now and that they really do listen when they get non stop calls. So please pledge to me that you're gonna make some calls tomorrow to both LOCAL AND DC OFFICES of your reps. Tell me below. Now if your...
...rep is Democrat, she wants you to ask them to obstruct ALL CABINET PICKS until Elon is no longer committing illegal acts in the fed gov. It's the one power Dems have right now. Zero appointments, full obstruction until Elon is OUT! Ask for that Tom. Use the 5 calls app or website to make it easy. Again, LOCAL AND DC Now if your rep is Republican, you're going to tell them that you will start looking for and campaigning for a challenger in their district this week if they don't act to...
...protect our data, the value of the US dollar, and integrity in our fed gov. She said she knows this seems like it won't do anything but to trust her, these people care. And they're hoping you get so complacent you're silent and they don't have to worry about re election. If you have any kind of platform with a following, tell them you'll use that to campaign against them. If you're a part of a large community group, even just a community garden, tell them you'll tell everyone locally...
..what they are or aren't doing to protect us from the coup by Elon Musk. You know people in your community. You have a voice. Tell them specifically how you'll use it. It matters guys. Everyone is scared right now. Apply pressure and tell everyone you know to
thread with @aoc.bsky.social’s advice for this moment, and it involves calling your reps.
not sure how? use 5calls.org (they have an app too).
Wikipedia is sticking with reality. Everybody else seems to be rolling over with their legs in the air like dead bugs.
