I’m Ashley, I’m a queer artist and librarian, and I love pulp paperbacks, medical and book history, weird roadside attractions, tabletop RPGs, making costumes for theme parties, and anything fun and creative I can do with friends! Happy to be here sharing my witchy, queer woodcuts with you!

I’m quoted in today’s issue of Forbes.
Ahhhhh I can’t wait! Such a great collaboration!
To make things weirder (and to illustrate your point) he also had an old dog who had seizures who of course he had empathy for and cared for… it’s so odd to not be able to have empathy for a cat but to be so patient with a dog?? As if one is more worthy of care
I once had a (former) partner tell me that since my friends cat who I cat sit for needed pills and insulin she should just let him die, meanwhile he is the happiest coziest cat! (Needless to say we didn’t stay together long after that)

First it was troops in L.A., sent to provoke and assault peaceful protesters under the banner of “immigration enforcement.” Now it’s troops in our capital to disappear the homeless. See the pattern? Sooner or later, the monster comes for us all.

When a government starts targeting former intelligence officials, law enforcement leaders, and anyone who once investigated or criticized those in power, it’s not just a red flag, it’s a page straight from the authoritarian playbook.

The 14th Amendment was ratified on this day in 1868. It guarantees:

✔️ due process for all
✔️ birthright citizenship
✔️ equal protection under the law

Now more than ever, we're determined to protect these essential rights.

Don't just say it's unconstitutional, remind people that the constitution is full of very good ideas designed to prevent authoritarianism, and most people who want to ignore it want that specifically because they are authoritarian.

For #AdoorableThursday, few doorways are more interesting than this: the utterly fabulous south door of Kilpeck Church in Herefordshire.
Hang in there and be kind to yourself 💜

An autism "registry" culled from private medical records could potentially violate federal privacy laws and runs the risk of abuse.

It also harkens back to a time when disabled people were labeled, segregated, and excluded. We won't go back.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

As market season starts to ramp up please remember that stealing from small vendors sucks. It happens every season to everyone I know and we aren’t big box stores, we don’t mass produce our products, and at the end of the day it is surprising it happens as much as it does and it isn’t cool
