Each time all typos are successfully edited from a book, the entire universe is immediately replaced with a new universe containing a version of the book that has at least one typo.
I've written this book 5 times now. It's been through 3 professional edits.
How am I still finding typos? 😭

Not to be unkind, but I am so impatient about the “what’s the point of making my little zines/comics/crafts/art when the world is on fire” sentiments. I get it, but saving the world is not a responsibility shouldered by your art! That’s what being a neighbor, a friend, and hell, a citizen is for!!!

Dear artists, it's hard avoiding wondering if what we do is irrelevant or an insult when it's harsh, scary, dangerous & violent out there, but one thing is always true as stone: someone will need what you do, someone won't, & you won't know the difference. Err on the side of hope. Create if u can.

My cat Aki is having severe dental and gum problems. We’ve tried treatment before, but it didn't work, and she needs to see a specialist soon. I'm taking commissions to cover her medical bills

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

#OnThisDay in AD 192, Emperor Commodus was murdered in his bath by a wrestler named Narcissus after an attempt to poison him failed. Commodus’s death ended his tyrannical rule and ushered in the so-called Year of the Five Emperors, a period of chaos and power struggles in the Roman Empire.

Well, it’s 20 December, so… it’s the 93rd anniversary of a police raid on “Lady Austin’s camp boys” at 27 Holland Park Avenue, in which 60 men were arrested – including Austin Salmon, for conspiracy to corrupt morals, and keeping a disorderly house
