Comic About me Reading Shortbox Comics (1/2)

check out all the cool comics on Shortbox!
www.shortboxcomicsfair.com

Comic panel of a wretched crying figure banging the table, wailing, "So many good comics in Shortbox!!! *GHHK SNRK* That could be ME!! I could be making a good comic!" An angel poofs in from the corner, "It could still be you!"

Comic panel: over the shoulder of the wretched figure, "*SNNNRK* What?" The angel is flitting happily. "One artist's achievement need not come at the expense of yours!"

Comic panel: Angel beaming, glowing with righteousness. "There is literally NOTHING stopping you from making a great comic of your own!"

Unironically: If you think you might be, the ND community is very welcoming to self-diagnoses (because running the medical gauntlet is frustrating and frequently misses the mark) - and if the tools help you, they help you. I also suggest checking out @autisticadvocacy.org and @thinkingautism.com 🧡

A lot of being an autistic woman is just crying while wondering why it's so hard to just be a person

This is HUGE! Please share so people with ME/CFS can learn about this incredible medical breakthrough!!

It not only helps develop a diagnostic test, but also points to immune and inflammatory changes to aid future treatments. After 80+ years of no treatment, there’s some hope, finally!!

I'm not entirely sure, though I feel like at least some of them must be the same. I'm a watercolorist too so I find that kind of thing very interesting. Do you have any favourite channels for watercolor stuff?

My favorite video forever. This is how much you can abuse my stuff. I mean... I would rather you not intentionally do this all the time but still. Will not protect your face from anything- but I do build everything I do EXPRESSLY with, for instance, boffer combat in mind.

Many sea stars begin life as young fairy-like creature (called a brachiolaria) that float through the open ocean. Eventually, a small star forms within them (here in yellow). The fairy-like brachiolaria sinks under the star’s weight, and the star pops out!

This is the first time I've seen anything from her. I am so impressed with how much effort she put into this. And I love thorough investigations into claims like lightfastness because as someone who sells art, you want that stuff to last!
