I'm Tristen Grant. A Canadian picture book illustrator & webcomic creator. Inspired by my own experience with a learning disability, I make art that helps kids feel seen & valued. I also compose ambient music + share open-source tools that support my process.

Next time I remind people to get off Substack, add this to the list of reasons.

Oh, wow, the scale of King's current grift is even larger than I'd realized. He didn't just subscribe me against my will to one Substack newsletter. He's running seven different newsletters/podcasts and he subscribed me to all of them.
What an asshole.

yeah, well, Microsoft's decision to donate money to Trump's ballroom project is all the "comment" anyone needs here

Nicole Carpenter @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social · 2d

I asked Microsoft PR about this—specially the DHS using Halo IP to recruit for ICE—and the company declined to comment.

Imagine needing an Ai to tell you what to eat.

YouTuber: "I use ChatGPT for everything. For deciding what to eat, writing my school assignments to coming up with video ideas."

Great, now we know you have zero ideas and thoughts of your own.

Some people replace the word "season" with "szn" or the word "please" with "plz." Not all sighted users will know what those spellings are supposed to mean, and many screen reader users won't, either. Many screen readers will read "szn" as S-Z-N and "plz" as P-L-Z.

Without special education teachers/staff I have no idea who I'd be today. These people are often over-looked but they are INCREDIBILITY important.

Elizabeth Warren @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social · 7d

Trump is illegally firing federal workers—including special education staff at the Department of Education.

He’s taking away opportunities for our kids to succeed in the classroom.

That’s a form of cruelty no leader should impose on the people he supposedly represents.

Whistles! Let’s organize to give everyone whistles and teach the ICE alert codes!

Whistles are helping Chicago resist. Let’s learn from their experience

Poster for Whistles as ICE alert tool.
Text says:
WHISTLES!
instant alert system
Simple, effective, faster than social media
Together we keep our community safe

HOW WHISTLES WORK
-wear a whistle
- if you spot ICE, blow your whistle
-when you hear a whistle, either:
- get to safety
- follow the sound, form a crowd, stay loud

WHISTLE CODE 1: ice nearby
If ice is driving or lurking: blow in short blasts. pre—pre—pre—pre

WHISTLE CODE 2: abduction
If ice is abducting someone: blow continuously. Preeeeeeeeee-preeeeeee
