I think in December I'm gonna take some time to just write. I love writing but I don't get to do it as often as drawing

Ugh hate to post this but bringing this back to just get us out of a “small” hole. We have money coming in but it is a struggle to get caught up

I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

if you ever randomly get the urge to donate to the democratic party, feel free to venmo that money to me or another trans person instead - we'll make sure it doesn't get used to take away people's healthcare

One month from day, SONG DOGS hits shelves.

In their biggest, most expansive adventure yet, Rory and Alice must fight loss, monsters, and their most dastardly demon yet—local politics.

Come on down to Buzzard’s Edge. We’ll save a seat for you.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

Your art isn’t bad just because it’s not selling right now.

We’re in a recession and people don’t know when they’re gonna eat next, nobody can afford fun things because the economy is crumbling. It’s going to be hard a while.

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.
