The Missouri AG threatened Daniel Boone Regional Library in Columbia with total defunding and investigations if they read books with LGBTQ+ themes to kids in a Pride story hour. They did so anyway. Our latest story from s. Baum of one library's defiance against an oppressive Republican regime.

Good morning Bluesky. My partner and I had our coffee in the woods and now I’m in drawing. It’s a beautiful day. We seem to be getting a cooler summer here.
Jimothy has made it to Roku city. Repeat: Jimothy spotted in Roku city.
If I had a flock of ducks at my command, I’d say “cmon, ducks” and we would all march out of here

sometimes! I also like putting their little-kid drawings in the background
do y’all add little baby pictures of your characters into the backgrounds in your comics / illustrations? #kidlitart #comics
Good night, lovely people and lovely dogs. I hope that you have a fun day tomorrow.
I would rather have you cut and paste pictures out of magazines like you were 5 years old than generate AI slop for me to look at. #Art #DigitalArt
