Ok. Still working on Star Sentinels. So this seems like a good idea.

I'm DD Ward, smut and trauma peddler.

I'm working on my project: Star Sentinels of Cerberus. It's a buddy cop story about veteran and rookie magical girls teaming up to stop a kaiju in a futuristic city of tomorrow.

What is making me happy and hopeful today is @conjured.ink's efforts to support decentralized online shops for creatives, as a defense against platform-based discrimination and censorship.

They are taking contributions now if you wish to fund them!

Details of Ryo. Initially I drew this upside down so they were plummeting but felt this orientation was more personal
Details of the devilman painting showing Ryo’s face. The hair is like a burning halo to accent their eyes. The cold expression on their face is difficult to read in contrast to devilman’s streaming tears.

From my hemiplegic migraine group
“You don’t look sick” Thanks that’s the goal. But here is what you don’t see. I cancel plans, I rest for hours after a shower, I forget basic words mid sentence, I grieve a version of myself barely remember, fight everyday against a body that doesn’t cooperate. It is not just tired. It is chronic illness.

While providing tech support for my FIL:

FIL: What's that screen?

ME: The terminal. You should never use it.

FIL: Never?

ME: So you know how I'm allowed to watch you open the electrical panel and swap out breakers, but I'm not allowed to ever open up it myself?

FIL: Ah! I understand, thank you.

Superman won a Harvey Award for best comic adaptation at New York Comic Con!  The award is named after and inspired by the great Harvey Kurtzman, who revolutionized comics and left the world a better – and much wittier place than he found it.  Thanks to everyone at the Harvey Awards for this honor!

You're the first person to list a family event.

If I had done that, I'd have mentioned the death of my grandfather when I was fifteen.

Only time I've seen a dead body, unprepared for viewing. And we were close.
