The source that informed me of this said the Border Patrol officer in question claimed the victims were trying to run him over in their car, which is why he shot.

I wish I'd thought sooner to explain to tradpub editors that illustrating a graphic novel is not like writing a prose novel or illustrating a picture book, a 250-page GN is actually like illustrating eight picture books.
art block has nothing on drawing a friend’s cats for christmas !!! felt so good to finish something for the first time in months :’) #illustration
bonkers muppet find at the vintage mall tonight, he’s HUGE 🐸 🐸 🐸
The final push and then I’ll be gone 🫡 tonight at 11:59pm my shop will shut down until maybe March or April, so get them muppet prints while you can! Share with your muppet loving friends and family! 💖💕✨
Sarah Cosico 🐸✨@sarahcosico.bsky.social · 9mo agoFinal thing of the day before I go back into hiding, reopening my shop for the final time this year! all these prints and more will be available (technically the shop is open rn but I’m not telling IG that 😉.) The shop will be open until Nov 30th and then I’ll close up on Dec 1st & start shipping. ❤️
I'm honestly surprised that with all this renewed interest in the Wizard of Oz that nobody's tried to do a thing with Ozma recently, but I guess studios just assume mainstream audiences are only familiar with things from the 1939 movie
The most consistent use case for generative ai is devaluing labor

sorry to suddenly appear out of the void & ramble on mental health but what it all comes back to for me is that i've been dealing with undiagnosed, unmedicated adhd for so long now, & i can't afford to really do anything about it, but it also means that i'm kind of incapable of making picture books/
constantly trying to remind myself that it'll be okay, i'm just in the part of kiki's delivery service where she can't fly, and someday soon i'll find the motivation to make things and enjoy it again
hii i haven't known how to really be on social media for a long time now, especially since i've been so incredibly burnt out creatively; i haven't been able to get myself to draw for several months & it's giving me so much anxiety actually lol!! 🥲 we love the endless loop of stress it's great
something exciting arrived early at work today!!! 😭🌈💕 i’m so happy with how this book came out, holding it in my hands is the coolest thing ever 💖💖💖 @dinoboy89.bsky.social ✏️!!

I truly hope Becky is released swiftly and is able to mobilize her loved ones and supporters to the cause of shutting down the Northwest Detention Center for good. She knows first hand now what we have heard from @laresistencianw.bsky.social for over 10 years - ICE Detention is deadly
R. E. Burke@reburked.bsky.social · last yr.A friend visited Becky Burke yesterday. Becky has frequent 30 second coughing fits that leave her diaphragm sore. It's terrible to be sick away from home, much less in a prison. She does have access to a doctor to make sure she isn't dying or anything and she can buy lozenges. 1/ #BringBeckyHome
