Rewatching season 1 of #andor and just realized that the morse code-like signal Kleya uses on her radio in season 2 is the same pattern from Ferrix as they warned one another with their pots-and-pans ruckus. Amazing.
realizing that this is as good as story will ever get for me. And that, in the end, it's just a story. These are not real heroes fighting facism. These are not people I actually care about. It's fiction. It's as if I can finally let go of the hope of story saving me and face reality itself.
Thank you for putting into words everything I am feeling after that series. For me, it helped explain why I've held on to my interest in Star Wars even after all the crap they've produced since Empire. At the same time, as a storyteller myself, I felt at once fulfilled and disillusioned, as if (1)

Not only did they bring back Nemik's manifesto in the finale of #Andor. They brought it back to show something bigger than just a rallying cry for the rebellion. They brought it back to show the power of truth and the fear that instills in tyranny. What a show.
I was hoping they'd bring back Nemik's manifesto. But never could I have imagined how well they'd use it. So Gilroy to nail that delivery.
Who do these people think they are?
Oh this is so nice to hear Julie. Please say hello to your students and thank them for the honor!
Thank you for your service. Makes me proud to live in MA.
Just a friendly reminder: THIS IS NOT OKAY.
Yes, it's watercolour and ink - exactly!
curious to know more about your research.

Wow! The Last Zookeeper has been longlisted for the 2025 Carnegie Medal for Illustration. As they say across the pond, I am HONOURED!

Here's the takeaway.
This was the article I had been waiting to read. Thank you.
I have never been an activist, for better or worse. But I've often been the canary in the coal mine at office places that soon went under and right now I'm not breathing. It's time to get something going BIG. #marchonwashington #resist
I keep waiting to hear from a larger public figure about leading this, rather than the activist left. it needs to be from the mainstream.
Million person impeachment march on Washington needs to get going and start forming

Has anyone heard of plans for a large-scale demonstration in Washington? Where do people see the momentum right now?
Aww! This is so wonderful to hear. Also, this is my first reply on blue sky! Still debating whether I should put time into things here or just drop social media all together and just focus on family and books.
That’s their strategy. Ignore the noise if you can.
Congratulations to the winners and non-winners and all of those people who still believe in books.
