Spooky season is upon us! To celebrate I put together a few designs promoting books and libraries. If you like them, feel free to use them! These are four of my poster designs! Again, these posters are absolutely free for you to print and use!
Schools and public libraries are under attack and need your support. They are facing quiet defunding, book bans, and acts of hate. Please consider contacting your local representative to ask that these institutions remain funded and protected, and show your support by stopping by your local library.

If you would like to see more of my library/activism designs or would like to get these designs on a T-shirt, book bag, or sticker, you can visit my shop here.

Reading Les Mis is like:
This is Valjean, who loves books and reads all the time.
This is Javert, who hates books but will read because that's what Responsible Citizens Should Do.
And this is Victor Hugo, who is an author and assures you there are no biases whatsoever in these creative choices.

i spent the last day just reading everything you have ever posted on this site, and every post on your blog and i need you to know that i am OBSESSED with your writing. it just hits the spot so perfectly, just 👨🍳💋👌🏻
THANK YOU!! holy moly you all are too kind 🥹
Have a double post for just making my day <3
As dads, both Steve and Eddie are total suckers. They're pretty much guaranteed to give in to any and all whims their daughters may have. They will also, however, make them work for it, which is usually facilitated by Steve (and serves as prime entertainment for Eddie, who has adored watching Steve try to hold his own against smart-ass teenagers since they were teenagers themselves)
This is why Eddie is absolutely delighted when he walks into the kitchen to see that Steve is on the phone with their middle-daughter Robbie.
“Robbie,” Steve says, cutting himself off with a long sigh, “Just tell me why I’m sending you seventy-five dollars.”
With a grin, Eddie settles in at the counter. Steve rolls his eyes, pointing at the phone as if to say get a load of this.
Then his eyebrows fly up.
“You need seventy-five dollars to go get your nails done? What, are they gonna take your midterms for you too?”
She isn't on speaker so Eddie doesn't catch Robbie's exact response to this, but whatever she says is loud enough that he can hear her voice coming through the phone.
"Amelia Robin," Steve cuts her off, "I will think about it. It's time for you to start thinking about getting a job"
Robbie must make one last desperate attempt because Steve says, "Goodbye, my darling girl who only calls when she wants something."
Steve hangs up and immediately points at Eddie as if this has something to do with him.
"Sinclair's boys don't put him through shit like this," he says, "I asked. All they ever want from him is food and Xbox subscriptions."
"Must be nice."
"Remember when the only time she asked for money was for the Scholastic book fair?” Steve asks, “Damn, I miss those days.”
"You're still gonna send her the money, though."
With a resigned sigh, Steve says, "Yeah."
