🫧Happy #WebcomicDay and #mermay! It's the perfect time to read my comic!

The Sweetness of Salt is a queer romance about a mermaid's quest to break her bond to the sea, and the lonely witch who helps her.

It's full of bittersweet character moments, cozy environments, and ocean mysteries 🫧
The cover for the Sweetness of Salt. Leah, a red haired woman in a green dress, and Sha, a blonde haired woman with a purple mermaid tail, embrace each other in an ocean wave. The title is below them in gold. A page from Chapter 1 of The Sweetness of Salt. Panel 1: A close up of Leah's eye, looking slightly worried. SFX: B-BMP B-BMP Panel 2: Leah: "Is this what the cards were trying to warn me about?" Panel 3: A long strand of seaweed flows from the large spread here into Panel 2 above. Behind the seaweed is a fin, pink with yellow sparkles. Leah: "No - it can't be. I don't get the same feeling from her. Instead of drowning, I feel excited." A page from Chapter 2 of The Sweetness of Salt. Panel 1: A large spread filling the page. Sha 'reclines', floating on the surface of the water in her mermaid form. Sha: "Aaaah, freshwater. It's been too long." Panel 2: Leah's kneeling on the shore of the pond, staring in amazement at Sha. Leah: "Whoah, that's amazing! And it happens just like that? How does it work? Is it the water or you?" A page from Chapter 3 of The Sweetness of Salt. Panel 1: Sha glances up at a glowing bauble. "These lights are yours then? Your magic?" Panel 2: Leah is also looking at the bauble. "Sorry, yes - I couldn't find more candles. Panel 3: Sha reaches toward one of the baubles while Leah takes a sip from her mug. Sha: "What on earth are you sorry for? They're lovely." Panel 4: Close up on Leah, who's smiling bashfully. "You really think so? It's not...strange?"

NEW VID! King Louis XIV had a fistula that urgently needed surgery. Amazingly he survived, and the legend goes that the courtiers of Versailles then became obsessed with having a fistula and demanded the surgery for themselves. Is this really true? Come learn with me!

5/ “I have already spent more than 60 days waking up eating the same repetitive meals…going to the doctor and that the only thing they tell you is to drink more water and the worst thing is that it seems like the water is what makes people sick here…”

From 12-year-old Ender, detained 60+ days
Page 1 of a child’s handwritten letter, written in Spanish in a cursive script. Translation: “Hello I am Ender and I am 12 years old, I have been at this center  for 2 months. I arrived here for an immigration appointment and I don’t think they should grab immigrants who are innocent, like instead of grabbing criminals because I mean they prefer to lock up children than look for people who really shouldn’t be in the U.S. They told me I could only be here 21 days but I have already spent more than 60 days waking up eating the same repetitive meals, going outside and that the majority of guards never pay attention to people, eating dinner  always the same as the day before, seeing people cry every day for the same reasons, trying to sleep in that horrible uncomfortable bed, going to the doctor and that the only thing they tell you is to drink more water and the worst thing is that it seems like the water is what makes people sick here…” Page 2 of a child’s handwritten letter, written in Spanish in a cursive script. Translation: “…going to wait for the bad answers from the judges, hearing the bad news from people who no longer have hope, having to share a room with minimum 3 families, and all that so they send us back to our countries.” Below the text is a drawing in pen of three women, titled “My family” and labeled with “Mama,” “Sister,” and “me” in Spanish.
