@charlenedraws.bsky.socialSlots are still available! I normally charge for readings, so this is a great opportunity for schools
@charlenedraws.bsky.socialI like to follow folks who post regularly & about interesting stuff. I’m not so keen on following anyone who spends most of their time being angry or critical (however valid).
@charlenedraws.bsky.socialI feel like I wanna connect more with #comics people who either make kids comics or (generally) sfw comics.
Where are you all hiding??? 😆
@charlenedraws.bsky.socialHa it would be interesting to see what the difference is for that feed here vs my other account!
@charlenedraws.bsky.socialI do curate my following and feeds. The thing is this account is supposed to be for my main work and the associated communities interested in that. To some degree it works, but I want to extend it beyond that. I also suspect my usual audience is spending less time on socials in general.
@charlenedraws.bsky.socialIt will say again though - if anyone is doing a nice big lawsuit for IMAGES in datasets, lemme know coz I have copyrights for a bunch of picture books. And I’m sure the art for some of those are in some dataset, somewhere 😤🤬

@amlibraryassoc.bsky.socialReposted by @charlenedraws.bsky.socialALA stands with library workers, readers, and communities working to keep books available. Our work helps ensure everyone can seek information and make their own reading choices. Your gift makes that work possible.
Helps us protect the freedom to read at ala.org/protect.
@charlenedraws.bsky.socialI truly need to follow more people here who post more often... my Following feed sometimes feels like I only follow 5 people, and every 3rd post is from the one person who is chronically online 😬
@charlenedraws.bsky.socialWorking through finals! Working on comic! Playing with new apps! Something! Car! (That's all my brain has words for right now lol)

@amandamorrowart.bsky.socialReposted by @charlenedraws.bsky.socialWhen Oliver opened his lunch he was surprised to find his lost pack of gummy worms from Halloween in his sandwich with some friends..... who must've been hungry too. Needless to say Oliver lost his appetite…🪱🥪
@charlenedraws.bsky.socialI’ll see if I can do the info session at least!

@hunderdown.bsky.socialReposted by @charlenedraws.bsky.socialI'm excited, if a bit late, to announce my workshop, "Publishing Trends, Market Shifts, and Opportunities," coming up October 27 and 29 via Boyds Mills. $59. There will be handouts and a recording.
Details and registration here: boydsmills.org/workshop/pub...
@michellewitte.bsky.socialReposted by @charlenedraws.bsky.socialToday over on Threads many writers had a freakout because rumors were going around that publishing is imploding (it's not; Threads just loves drama). But I posted info on a bunch of publishing newsletters that provide actual info for people who want to stay informed, so I'll share those here.
@charlenedraws.bsky.socialI'll DM you
@charlenedraws.bsky.socialI would like to apply for this project but I am very intimidated by the budget (the person or team awarded the project has to manage the funds).
Anyone want to partner with me… 👀
