A group of children serenade President Barack Obama and Mayor Zohran Mamdani with "Soda Pop" from the movie KPop Demon Hunters

That's so lovely!

Costco stresses me out! Actually all grocery shopping in person kind of does 😬 it's just too many things to look at and trying to navigate around people and feeling like I should hurry or the cold things will go bad

So um, I can do a tax deduction if I use the machine to make mini Abominable Snow Dancer pasta, right?

So many books!!!

100% thought this was an Onion article at first

Extremely disappointing and makes ZERO sense. Also, Allbirds were one of the shoes that actually fit my weirdo duck feet, and now I'm gonna have to find a new brand 😑

A little-known law that lets the government sidestep the Constitution and spy on US citizens is set to expire, and we’re worried some Democrats could join the GOP to reauthorize this civil liberties disaster.

Stevie Wilson DIY Young Artists Residency — Interrupting Criminalization

I secured some funding last year to revive the Stevie Wilson DIY Young Artists Residency. I’m excited to announce that applications are open today until May 11 for young artists (ages 16-24) directly impacted by criminalization, policing, or punishment.

Ffffffff, I ran out of chores to procrastinate with and lunch took way too little time. Now I have to work on color roughs 😔🥺😭

Washing for feedback on two projects, so I'm gonna try to get ahead by doing color roughs.

A rainbow assortment of Jelly Belly jelly beans in puzzle form, completed.

I have finished the jelly bean puzzle.

I've read this book multiple times. It's so helpful.

"Inside the outside" sounds like a Stranger Things thing 😂

Her shadow is a sinewy, creepy version of her with evil snake hair, and there is a wiggly red/black text treatment of the word MONSTROUS in the background.

I really enjoy inks for sketching, but trying to take it to final is a whole nother thing #KidLitArt

I'd like to try making a book in traditional ink someday, but ... Yeahhhhh that's gonna be a process #KidLitArt

Genius #KidLitArt

My favorite part of the illustration process is the sketch phase 😁😁😁 if someone else could do all my colors, I'd be happy #KidLitArt
