🔥 OBAMA: “The thing is, Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons — because I put a deal in place he pulled out of… and the war he started is why the price of everything is UP… how much time do you think Hegseth spends looking at himself in the mirror? These are not serious people.”
PDX folks, I'll be giving a free talk about how to make a graphic novel! I'll also be sharing some info about CCS and their workshops, certificate and MFA programs.
Free and open to the public! (Please note masks are required at the IPRC). Hope to see you there!
Brazil just abolished the six-day workweek.
Lula had pledged to take the country's workweek down to 40 hours of work with no reduction in pay, and now this new norm has passed in the form of a constitutional amendment.
I’m gonna be at Kidsbooks in Vancouver, BC today from 3-4:30 for a drop-in signing. Happy early Thanksgiving, Canada. Hope to see you there. 2557 W Broadway.
I’m going to be at the Bigfoot Festival today in Redmond, WA with tons of great kid lit authors. If you’re near Seattle/Bellvue you have to check it out. www.bigfootkidsbookfestival.com
Mr. Wolf's Class (@mrwolfcomics.bsky.social) is a frequent reread here! It's a kind, funny, and very thoughtfully grounded slice-of-life series about a group of fourth-graders. I have a soft spot for ensemble stories and this one is SO special.
Also, the nature spreads are killer. 🍂

Again I am begging all LEGIT people running cons, signings, talks, events, etc. to stop using Ai to write your emails.
What's happening is ALL THE SCAMMERS/CONMEN are ALSO using it, and so your emails are basically indistinguishable from them. They give off slop vibes EVEN IF YOU ARE LEGIT.
I had a dream last night that Ridley Scott wanted me to work on his new movie, and I was torn because I think he makes awful movies now and I don’t want anything to do with them, but I have a fondness for his early movies and how incredible they were. What a dilemma. lol.
Hello, Canada 🇨🇦 Come to Kidsbooks on West Broadway in Vancouver, BC. Sunday, October 11 for a 3:00-4:30 PM drop-in signing. I’ll be signing the new Mr. Wolf’s Class book, and whatever else you’ve got. Please help spread the word. 📚😎💚⭐️
I know everything feels terrible and doomy but I've been working on surveillance issues for most of my adult life and I have never seen so much energy, momentum, and concrete VICTORIES happening as what we are seeing right now on Flock cameras and facial recognition in venues.
Keep. Going.
Today, Saturday, August 8, 2026 at the Clackamas Town Center Barnes and Noble (Building a Culture of Reading in Your Classroom Event) 11-4 PM (I will do a reading with other authors at 11 AM and then later I will be on a panel with other guests 2PM, and will sign books after each event.
#Bookaday I added @mrwolfcomics.bsky.social's The New Student: A Graphic Novel (Mr. Wolf's Class #6) to my 2026 Books I Love presentation: www.johnschu.com/2026-books-i...
Had a great time at @mrwolfcomics.bsky.social's book launch at @powells.bsky.social! Loved hearing about how the new book came about and watching the live drawing. Congrats on the release... and I may have to steal the zine idea for my own book launch.

Find it wherever books are sold. But all the cool kids support their local independent bookstores.
Holy crap.
Level 3 (GO NOW!) zone now includes urban Spokane, south of Francis to Wellesley. Level 2 (GET SET!) zone now extends east of Division.
Not to be alarmist, but at this rate, it’s not inconceivable that the Old Trails Fire merges with the Fairview Fire.
📚⭐️One week until my new book comes out!
The New Student is the sixth Mr. Wolf’s Class graphic novel for kids.

Fuck the reflecting pool. This has not gotten nearly enough coverage or generated the proper outrage. People thrown in prison for 30-50 years for the "crime" ofmaking zines and belonging to a book club!!
This is straight-up totalitarian atrocity. Political prisoners thrown in a gulag to rot.
Persepolis was read all over the world—a true international phenomenon. Assigned in every class subject under the sun. During the Obama years, West Point cadets were assigned the book.
There's never been anything like it; never anyone like her.
What an awful world that couldn't hold her longer.
Here's your rainy holiday weekend reminder: the 5th anniversary of #KidLitArtPostcard is June 4th! I'm suggesting a theme for our illustrations: You, as a kid. Learn more about the event here: www.ginaperry.com/postcard#kidlit

The Stillaguamish Tribe in Washington state has been buying land in its traditional territory and removing levees. The goal is to turn farmland into wetlands with the hopes of restoring Chinook salmon. n.pr/4tciGx0
I’m enjoying the PITT quite a bit, however, I just want to see one scene where someone washes their hands with soap and water for once. Just once. That’s all I need. “Blood on my hands?” I’ll just rub it around with hand sanitizer,” isn’t a good look.
