![4 panel comic drawn with digital pencil.
1 - Thulia offers white silk scarf toward three people seated at a table full of food.
THULIA: This is for the Venerable
SONGTSEN: Lhamo Yeshe Rinpoche.
2 - The scarf is held at one end by Thulia's round hand and on the other end by Lhamo's pointy, long-nailed hand.
3 - Lhamo holds the scarf close to/in front of her mouth. Her eyes are closed.
Narration: I couldn't hear the words she whispered -- just a quiet -- rhythm --
4 - A bony hand with long pointed thumb nail (foreground right) offers the scarf back to Thulia (background left) who wears a dopey smile.
LHAMO: Welcome, and may all your efforts bear fruit.
THULIA: [tiny] thank you!

As cruel and horrific as this world can feel at times—our world, the world we humans have made—it is very important to remember that this world, our world, which awaits us every day, is beautiful, and it is wonderful. And it is important that we believe in it.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

We all should be drawing a lot looser and lighter
Less art way less
I am yelling at myself.
The readers don't even want too much art most of the time.
They like it lighter. They like it looking fast and sketchy

Reminded today of LeGuin's speech about the fall of capitalism and its context. But to me, this fragment of Tombs of Atuan speaks a lot more - transition very much feels like Tenar's journey.
I had someone to hold me when I experienced that weight falling. I wish every trans woman the same.

I think the corollary that a lot of people miss about "write what you know" is that *you have the power to know more things.* Research and talking to people are a central part of writing!
“write only what you know” is bullshit because a man wrote silent hill f and this shit rocks!!!! its feminist core resonates SO strongly if you’re a woman!!!!
