This is my new pinned post. Hi, I’m Lilah! I write comics and I am transgender and sometimes those things intersect, as in my OGN Girl Haven, which is a trans coming-of-age story/portal fantasy! I love my wife and my daughters and also cats and capybaras.

Cover of GIRL HAVEN by me and Meaghan Carter and Joamette Gil featuring four tweens and two warrior rabbits!

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I get to write comics and I’ve been doing it for almost TWENTY YEARS now and I’m still here and I think that’s pretty great!

Love it when two people I like like each other!!!

I know the feeling! Sometimes it seems like nothing actively good is happening and that is really frustrating. And I guess that’s when we have to stop and try to count our blessings? Ugh.

As is always correct and in accordance with all the laws of the internet, I just watched Tom Holland's epic Lip Sync Battle performance, and now I am sharing it with all of you so you can do the same.

I once wrote a 20-page paper on John Winthrop’s journals in four hours while coming down from an acid trip and not only did I get an A, the professor encouraged me to pursue Early American literature in grad school. AI can eat shit.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

Is making cider the new trans hobby???

First post reads:
I started making homemade cider from mostly fresh hand-pressed apples. So far the ferment is going really well and I can't wait to try it.

Second post reads:
my roomie and i just put in an offer on our first home!! and i made apple cider recently that i've been savoring bc it's so good! and i am prepping a room for my long distance bestie to come stay in for a few weeks while we go concert hopping at the end of the month!!

Trans people, I am once again asking you—nay, begging you—to share something good that is going on in your lives right now!

I’ll start: I’m working on a new graphic novel and having a blast with the creative team we’ve assembled!
