Kirk's murder is being weaponized to corral us into a smaller and smaller arena of speech, and it is our job to refuse to be confined, to keep speaking out, to keep making irreverent jokes, supporting progressive voices, chastising the high-profile cowards, and talking among ourselves.
We all deserve to have a happy and safe home where we are loved and respected by family and friends. So many today lack this, or it is being wrenched from them. My heart and thoughts today while working on this sketch for an upcoming book.

Good news for fellow authors disheartened by your books being illegally used to train AI;
"If your book was used by Meta, you’re automatically included in the Kadrey v. Meta class action in Northern California..."
And @authorsguild.bsky.social has some practical steps you can take.

I had a lot of fun painting this recent picture book spread of acorn woodpeckers. Such a cool species!
