If everyone on here could stop being so much younger than me, that'd be really nice. Mentioning events that happened when I was in grad school and casually saying you were in elementary school is absolutely unnecessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I'm also bringing mushroom brooches and snails with me to SPX! This weekend in Maryland!

A photo of a wearable sculpture brooch in the shape of a shelf mushroom that grows on trees. It is white and it's top is painted with stripes of brown that are darker towards the center and lighter at the edge. There are three levels of mushroom, all connected to each other by the stem. They are on a background of moss and surrounded by snail sculpture brooches.

My debut scifi/action/adventure for kids, MARTY MILAGROS DOOMS THE EARTH, is coming 9/29 to bookstores near you! It's about a kid who can't seem to stay out of trouble, accidently ending up in a mess that's out of this world. #OGN #graphicnovel #comics #kids #scifi #action #adventure #preorder

Front cover of the book, featuring Marty, a 12yo boy, peeking out from a doorway while an ominous shadow looms. Inset in the shadow are many of the characters from the book, all looking a bit scared.

I'd argue it's worse than a blank page, in the same way that garment pieces cut slightly off the grain are worse than not having cut yet. When a thing is wrong, it will suck your energy into making it Less Wrong, which is often not the same as making it right.

Teachers and schools need to know that we are not required to give up our kids. We do not have to open our doors to ICE or the police. Morally, obviously, but also legally. We are our students' legal guardians when they are in our care and we should be making the right call for students' safety.
