Its main character is a trans girl whose relationship with the world influences the plot in really interesting ways. And not for nothing, but one of the characters reminded me of a little guy I drew 19 years ago. My son just described him as “creepy.” If you agree, I hope you won’t let my drawing dissuade you from reading the book. Thank you.
You should read it! It being THE INK WITCH by @stephcherrywell.com
Oh my goodness I sure did like this book. Have you read it? Well if you haven’t please get your life right. It is funny and inventive and had at least two passages that made me pause and press my palm to my chest as if to hold my heart in.

Fun middle-grade novel recommendations that are hard sci-fi or involve astrophysics in some way?
Talk about mud flaps
I'd forgotten Seth Meyers was on that show
84 years sounds like a long time. And I know in some ways it is. But it's also not that long. I still have living relatives who were in the camps and who were old enough to remember it. This isn't abstract or ancient history. It's part of the living memory I grew up with.
Turtles? Especially in the comics?
ooh
Barista: That'll be $3.89. And what's a good name for the coffee? Me: Ooh—how about Brewster Cuppajoe? Caption: Every day I have to stop myself from doing this.
Ari Drennen @AriDrennen Follow The high trust neighborhoods that MAGA yearns for exist all over America, and they're all like D+40 nxthompson A @nxthompson •22h An extraordinary paragraph. buff.ly/uH5ykhX The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesivebecause of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.
This is so spot on
honestly tired of trying to convince people that trump's immigration policy is not really about violent undocumented immigrants or even just undocumented immigrants, but immigrants in general and even non-white people more broadly.
What's the best wrong answer? Wrong answers only.

Yeah, half the time I think I love a costume, it turns out I just love the artist drawing it.
Beautiful.
If I were drawing her, I'd bring this look back:
Whoa!
Hey, all right! Thank you, Shaunessy.
Oh, thanks—so if someone tried dialing an American area code and number with a borrowed phone in Saskatchewan, it would just work?
Thanks, Charlene. In my wip, an American kid basically has no idea where he's woken up. He borrows a phone and calls home with the customary area code and number, but it doesn't work because he didn't start it with a 1, and that's when he finds out he's in Canada.
Does that sound plausible?
Canadian friends: if I borrowed your phone and tried to call an American number, would I have to dial the country code first?
One.
I have one school visit scheduled for the 2025-26 school year.
Before the book banning movement and the politics of hate metastasized, I visited 40, 50, and 60 schools each year.
This regime of monstrous evildoers is actively trying to erase LGBTQ+ stories, identities, and humans.
Resist
For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again
I like it when he calls people "mister."
Liam himself is five goddamned years old and should be at home with an adult he trusts right now no matter who his parents are. It would not matter if they were literal criminal masterminds, Liam Ramos is a baby and babies do not belong in prison.
Just before Christmas, I got a puppy. Her name is Minerva, and we call her *Minnie. I'm still learning how to understand her. Me: Do you need to go outside? Do you need to go outside, little baby? Do you need to do a poo? Do you need to do a widdle piddle? Minnie: Arf! *I just call her "little baby" most of the time. I'm also realizing I can't turn off the baby talk now. Nobody tells you about that.
I got so lucky with my first puppy. Her wonderful foster parents had her completely house-trained by the time we adopted her, so taking her outside for potty time has been pretty easy. I've got the puppy poopy routine pretty much down, now. Me, putting on my coat: Let's see... I got the little poopy bags, puppy treats for bribes, jacket, scarf, phone… I think that's everything… Oh yes! And my passport.
I had been carrying around my passport for a while, but I knew it didn't matter. This is wrong. Nobody is required to carry around their papers. I became a US citizen when I was seven. Since I was born in a refugee camp, I was stateless. The US is the only nation where I've ever held citizenship. It's the only passport I've ever had, and it still felt important. Protective. I would hold it in my pocket like a talisman, like it might ward off ghosts or something. But I realized I was holding onto it basically out of superstition. ICE will pick up anybody. I know that. So I tucked my passport away. And I largely avoid leaving my house.
I live a few blocks just South of George Floyd Square. I was in the neighborhood for that, too. And all the neighbors came together to protect each other. We're already organized. We'll do our best to get through this. Me, to my dog: I hope I can take you for a walk someday soon. Won't that be nice, little baby?
