s sesame or mustard it s not much yet just an about page and some simple recipes for sesame free faux hini sauce and allergen free hot cocoa but i have oodles of post and recipes in the queue i d love if some of you readers dropped by to take a look and please do tell any friends you might have who deal with similar allergies or dietary restrictions my recipes are all free of dairy eggs tree nuts sesame and mustard most are also free of peanuts fish and shellfish some are free of soy many foods featured will be plant based or vegan and lowfat but please note that i do bake and cook a lot with wheat and gluten containing products so my new blog might not be of much interest to those with celiac or gluten intolerance things may stay a little quiet around here for a bit but i m not abandoning

for spx 2013 small press expo in bethesda this weekend sept 14 15 and by just in time i mean the minicomic version of this book is printing at staples as i type this i finished my first full color children s book susan s mess it s the story of susan who was the neatest girl in the world and had never ever in her life made a mess even as a baby until one day a mess made itself i should note since this is my political cartooning blog that there isn t any overtly political content in this book but i wanted to share it for those of you who might be interested it s about a spunky little girl who is a bit too fond of cleaning her room and alphabetizing her books like my daughter she does happen to be from a biracial family it s amazing how few kids in children s books are once spx is over i ll see how many are left for sale and will also be putting it up as an e book and print on demand book labels books events kids posted by mikhaela reid at 2 24 am 0 comments thursday august 29 2013

2013 follow the boiling point on bloglovin before google reader goes dark i know this blog is a bit quiet these days though i m very busy sewing and knitting over at polka dot overload but i still have the occasional cartoon for you google reader goes dark on july 1 so follow the boiling point blog with bloglovin if you want to stay in the loop on new posts i know bloglovin has some bugs and is missing a few features the ability to save posts to read later for example but i prefer it to the other options for one huge reason it lets you read actual blog pages in their own design the way they re meant to look and it gives bloggers pageviews why do pageviews matter many bloggers rely on people actually viewing their sites instead of just the text and photos from a single post to earn money from ads sponsors etsy shops and links when you read a post through something like google reader that didn t count as a pageview so every time you view an actual blog or read it through bloglovin you are helping to support your favorite bloggers i don t make much money from ads on my two blogs but i have noticed since folks started switching over to bloglovin my pageviews have doubled 30 000 month average now and instead of 10 month from google adsense i m seeing 30 or more that may not sound like much but i live on a really tight budget so again please follow me on bloglovin p p s if you are a blogger even if you don t make the switch to reading blogs on bloglovin you should still claim your blog over there to have more control when people subscribe to you that way labels meta posted by

a bit in political cartooning land i ve been collaborating with the husband aka masheka wood on a new series of cartoons for women s enews here s the latest maternity leaveless click through thumbnail to see the full size piece seriously 30 of women in the u s take no maternity leave and 40 take six weeks or less it s not hard to guess why we have the not so distinct distinction of being the only economically advanced country to offer no paid maternity leave whatsoever see think progress for a colorful and depressing infographic on this you might notice the women in this cartoon is breastfeeding at least for now it can be hard enough to get a good start feeding your kid when you have only 6 12 weeks at home to get things going but with no maternity leave that would mean an immediate need to also wrestle with a breast pump try to get pumping breaks maintain supply etc studies show that the longer breastfeeding moms get for leave the longer they are able to successfully breastfeed and meet their breastfeeding goals i got 12 weeks leave myself half of them paid i had no trouble getting pumping breaks or a place to pump at work by u s standards i m one of the lucky ones but by global standards that s not super impressive labels breastfeeding cartoons family health healthcare maternity leave women posted by mikhaela reid at 8 45 am 0 comments thursday august 16

january 05 2012 my essay on the way the future of political cartooning wasn t herblock foundation report the herblock foundation has a brand spanking new whitepaper out on the state of political cartooning called the golden age for editorial cartoonists at the nation s newspapers is over too true the whitepaper which you can download as a pdf here contains a glum survey and a depressing collection of essays by a wide range of cartoonists including clay bennett ted rall jen sorensen and yours truly here s a quote from my essay which is untitled in the collection but which i like to call the way the future of political cartooning wasn t the future of political cartooning i imagined in 2001 was already a far cry from the future of political cartooning in 1981 my fellow 20 something alternative cartoonist friends and i didn t even vaguely aspire to comfortable drafting desk staff positions at daily newspapers with reasonable salaries and health benefits the pulitzer prize application just seemed like a waste of money our model was self syndication in the alternative weeklies we looked to ted rall keith knight alison bechdel we d pay our inky dues toiling in the bristol board or wacom tablet trenches we d work day jobs by night we d comb through news sources and write and draw and write sleep was for suckers we d market ourselves with clever self promotional packets mailed regularly to hundreds of alternative and niche publications we d blog and send e mail newsletters and we d draw attention to our cartooning book collections at comic conventions with big vinyl banners and brightly colored tablecloths we d sell t shirts and stickers to our legions of super dedicated online fans our aspirations were modest maybe one day we d quit our day jobs and squeeze by on a low five figure income or if we were already squeezing by fulltime maybe one day we d be able to afford gasp basic health insurance that s one of the least sad bits download the whitepaper pdf to read the whole thing yeah um happy new year and stuff p s if you want a more thorough sum up of my 2011 it s over here at my sewing blog polka dot overload but i do warn you that it
