Read this, last night, cover to cover after it was gifted to me. I really enjoyed it! Actually haven't read a whole book in one sitting in a long time (it's really short). Kinda miffed to find the intro about stolen sapphic letters was fiction. That felt kinda irresponsible. But the story was fun!

When I first wrote this book, I was maybe 2 years into my transition. Now that I've finally gotten to this point in posting it I'm 5.5 years in. I've made so many changes to this convo that it feels like present me talking with past me. And I love it for that.

COLOR!! Issy's back story was a MAJOR last minute add (as in, I wrote it a month ago, where as most of the book was written three years ago...kinda stressed about it) but I was SO excited when I realized that I could use color!! While I like it conceptually, I get so tired of b/w.

Listening to Lady Moon during a figure drawing session and was inspired to draw her during breaks. Tho she looks like she has a black eye and snake bite piercings because it’s impossible to figure out where the point is on a piece of compressed charcoal 😭😭 but I’m still happy with it!

1. As some Democrats have run from transgender rights, Zohran Mamdani is showing what so many others have lacked: courage to lead with his values over pandering to focus groups.

The ad is one of the best things I've seen from a politician on transgender people.

As Some Dems Run From Trans People, Zohran Mamdani's Latest Ad Shows Real Support
The 2 minute ad features Sylvia Rivera's story, Mamdani's commitment to transgender people, and even music from the legendary late trans artist SOPHIE.

Imagine Watergate and the Saturday night massacre combined but instead the media ran cover for it. That's what this is.
Alt text: Screenshot of a CNN Politics article headline reading “Lindsey Halligan didn’t coordinate NY AG Letitia James indictment with Pam Bondi’s DOJ.” The byline lists authors Kristen Holmes, Kaitlan Collins, Evan Perez, and Hannah Rabinowitz. The article was updated 1 hour and 55 minutes ago and is labeled as a 2-minute read.

I love drawing Lorens. And these reaction expressions are always so much fun to draw. Trying to convey feelings with more than just words always gives such a boost to the subtext of whats being said.

I'm...not great about promoting. And I need to get better at it. So I think I might try to post panels from this week's page from 🏳️‍⚧️Along the River Phoria🏳️‍⚧️, just as art. This background took foreeever, but it was worth it.

Today the @nytimes.com sought to whitewash its central role in laundering anti-trans falsehoods and turbocharging anti-trans attacks nationwide. My reporting showed that editorial leadership was aware of this depravity which is why this disingenuous piece can’t erase the scale of what they’ve done.
