Sometimes I get paid to draw. Sometimes I don't, but I draw anyways. If you don't know why you're following me, read my comic in my pinned bloot (I think the posts here should be called bloots). 🏳️⚧️

Hey, I made a comic!
I’d like as many people as possible to read it, so I put it up here for free -

If you like it, please share it but stay spoiler-conscious!
If you don’t like it, I guess you can just keep that to yourself.

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to
"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally.
Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event

1. Trump has dug in on anti-trans provisions in the shutdown fight this morning, cancelling a meeting with Dems unless they cave on trans people.
His post to Truth Social is a clear indication that Republicans are making targeting trans people a priority.

Whenever the king became displeased with one of his subjects, he would send out his soldiers, and before long the offender would find themselves in the basement of the king’s finger-taker.

this paragraph here is the perfect summary of why we don't see safety in this smarmy jagoff…just a different, more insidious kind of danger
![a screenshot of the linked article. it reads as follows, with the text in brackets highlighted in yellow for emphasis:
“Some may argue, as they often do when transgender people raise concerns about Gavin Newsom, that the alternative would be worse. And in many respects, Trump or whatever Trump-like candidate emerges in 2028 would be worse than Newsom on a host of issues. But even here, for transgender people, the calculation is not so straightforward. Right now, the community has one thing going for it: one major political party still passes protective legislation and has not joined the litany of anti-trans policies escalating in red states. [If that fragile dichotomy collapses—if Democrats too decide that transgender people can be sacrificed for political gain—the result will not be a lesser evil.] It will be a political consensus that our rights are gone, and that outcome could be even worse.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4ukhwc2uxzmdcccts6vlp23j/bafkreiao7ckt5xvfvy4qvxuratpr5hibgj6taitoutvqcrfkn27hfbtbme@jpeg)

I just found out August is Transgender History Month here in California.
As a late transitioner, finding out on the 2nd last day of the month is so thematically perfect that I'm not even disappointed that I didn't learn that earlier.
Anyways, Happy Transgender History Month for the next 27 hours!
