Hi! I take lots of pictures of animals and write about them in weekly stories for my cats' detective agency. Also #TransLivesMatter #BlackLivesMatter #FreePalestine #FreeUkraine
I'm a Cat Lady the Republicans fear.

text overlaying the top image is an excerpt from Cardiac Arrest, book 1:
“Mr. Koczak? Is everything okay?”
She expected the door to open then and there, but it didn’t.
“Walter? Do you need any help getting up?”
Nothing.

people on here apparently need to learn a lesson most of us learn in elementary school, which is that it’s fucking rude to correct people on zero stakes things and doing so leads rightfully to social ostracism

BEAR ROOTS: Ursula learns her friends are human-bear shapeshifters as hunting season approaches. Laws are broken, spells are attempted. (Bisexual MC) buy.bookfunnel.com/o... #books #MagicalRealism #NewAdult

Excerpt:
"Tell me what to do. Give me a sign." She was out of her element. Catholicism had plenty of ritual and ceremony in its liturgy, but Ursula hadn't cast her own magical spell before. Blowing out birthday candles and making a wish somehow didn't seem equivalent.
Were all magic spells witchcraft? She had so many questions.

Five years ago, the United Nations concluded that conversion therapy could amount to torture and recommended it be banned. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court will consider a case that could greenlight it for LGBTQ+ youth across the nation.

The UN calls conversion therapy 'torture.' Could the Supreme Court greenlight it anyway?

In the first of three blockbuster LGBTQ+ cases on its docket this term, the Supreme Court is about to hear a challenge to Colorado’s conversion therapy ban.

Yep. And also women of privilege who can afford to do things like the internships or classes that happen to be taught by a man in the business. Some of us can't afford the best creative team and printing indies to get started.

I get so frustrated by a lot of the "breaking into comics" dialog from men because most of it is "I walked into such-and-such publishing house and got a internship" or "I met Will Eisner when he was still alive"

One of my yoga students informed me that a dinosaur theme amusement park has closed in NJ and they are selling off all their animatronics. How much do dinosaurs cost?

Donald Trump is calling for the jailing of his political opponents in Chicago. His DOJ lackeys have already indicted a NJ Congresswoman for conducting ICE facility oversight and James Comey. John Bolton's house was raided.

We must treat these latest threats seriously and all stand up against them.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.
