Me yesterday: wow I must have really learned to connect with my body and feel pain because I don’t remember a simple foot blister hurting this much
Me today on my way to the doctor because my foot is infected:

May I interest you in some choice mushrooms?

Im glad i get to make the art i want to make and put it out in the world without anybody knowing who i am when i walk down the street. a privilege to be able to create things for people without anybody feeling like i owe them my time and energy, comics is a good way to not be famous and still create

One thing I’ve been getting up to while letting my arm rest is watch all the old Star Trek movies and I got to Generations and I’m sorry but why did you do my guy James T Kirk dirty like that, he deserved a better death

Put balding men back in movies and tv as love interests and just generally as people to be attracted to thanks

my arm has been hurting since thursday and we're finally getting to a point where i can see the end of the pain... which is almost more annoying because now that i CAN hold a pencil without excruciating pain, i need to stop myself from doing it... not yet... not yet...

Callow hearts, hollow bones is a historical dark urban fantasy (I think it's fair to say) comic.

It follows Joseph Crow (he/she) – hunter, lover, fighter, joker – and I've posted the prologue before here on bs without context. I'm going to provide some context and repost the 26 pages 🪶

At the airport, bought a pumpkin chai latte but they gave me a pumpkin latte and I didn’t realize until I left and now I’m left deciding if I should drink it and have anxiety because of the caffeine or accept that I just wasted 10 bucks

you know what, it's really hard to fall asleep when you're strapped into a weird device, but it's even harder when the doctor tells you "it's best if you sleep the full eight hours the machine is on for" <- a guy who got tested for sleep apnea

Just finished @surmulefyr.bsky.social graphic novel "Love, Misha" and really enjoyed it! It's great when there's another queer book to add to my collection, especially one with a nonbinary protagonist. And here's a bit of fan art of another main character, your best guide to the spirit world, Odun.

Look at this cute Odun drawing! Thank you so much for reading Love, Misha and for the drawing, I love this! <3
