As of a few weeks ago, I am no longer with Bad Egg. Grateful for the amazing creators I worked with during my time there.

I'm freelance editing/writing, excited for my work with life(and death)line comics. I am open for the right fulltime editorial role for me and who I am as a person/creative.

So glad to finally be able to have a little time for it after it's been collecting dust on my shelf for a few months, been missing out on so much Berengaria 😭

Had to really take it easy last week through some sickness and finally got to really enjoy some Unicorn Overlord and therefore some Berengaria 🎉

My dog has Cushing's Syndrome and needs to be rushed into hospital ASAP.

He started taking the medication recently after we repeated the Cushing test two weeks ago, but less than a week passed and he started >

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Isra. Isra is a journalist in Gaza who has worked for 14 years with a lot of international experience (she is fluent in Spanish). She was also working on a PhD. She lost her father, home, work and university. She’s trying to help her family ❤️

I really wish I had something clever or insightful to say about the ever-widening window of the age politicians think is TOO YOUNG to start HRT but the truth is it is just a slow march towards outright outlawing medical transitioning outright.

We know it. They know it. And it is so exhausting.

New Patreon post (free for e'rybody): While there are so many things to keep an eye on right now, I wanna talk about my friend, comic creator Cris Jackson, who is currently at the center of a weird smear campaign trying to get them taken out of their classroom. Comix folks, you should read this.
