I've finished another Historical Self-Portrait, set in 1725! You can see it in color if you join my Patreon, free tier and up. This one is based on a painting by Jean Etienne Liòtard and inspired by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu's Turkish Embassy Letters.

The Queen of Smokey Mountain, out on sub again soon: Renata is a girl with the secret ability to talk to bugs, lifted out of poverty into the dazzling world of Philippine beauty pageants. The script is complete, though I’m making some revisions, and the artist is the amazing Amanda Castillo.

Call the heralds, I’ve found the image for my personal badge
A medieval drawing of a scorpion. It is green and has a chubby body, a curly tale, and what looks like a trunk. And floppy ears

Do they not believe in moisture in this household?

Are these supposed to be mashed potatoes?

My grandfathers lived through the 1930s, when Filipino men were literally being hunted down. The government gave Filipinos incentives to go back to the Philippines if they promised never to return. And yet almost all Filipinos in the U.S. chose to stay. I honor the Manongs by supporting immigrants.

The image that gets used for Ea-Nassir (pic 1) is about 1000 years too old to be him. Pic 2 and 3 are dudes from around 1900 BCE, which was Ea-Nasir time.

Here's the passage:
"You, who call Frankenstein your friend, seem to have a knowledge of my crimes and his misfortunes. But in the detail which he gave you of them he could not sum up the hours and months of misery which I endured wasting in impotent passions. For while I destroyed his hopes, I did not satisfy my own desires. They were for ever ardent and craving; still I desired love and fellowship, and I was still spurned. Was there no injustice in this? Am I to be thought the only criminal, when all humankind sinned against me? Why do you not hate Felix, who drove his friend from his door with contumely? Why do you not execrate the rustic who sought to destroy the saviour of his child? Nay, these are virtuous and immaculate beings! I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, to be spurned at, and kicked, and trampled on. Even now my blood boils at the recollection of this injustice.

“Him” being Trmp. I hope Judith Wishnia lives to see that too!

Members of the Silent Generation are our last living links to World War II. Also, while the Boomers reduced the counterculture to “free love,” the SG provided the intellectual and organizing framework for the anti-war movement.

I saw this print in the antique ukiyo-e print gallery in Japantown Center and fell in love. It’s part of Yoshitoshi’s 100 Aspects of the Moon. It depicts a woman distraught at her lover’s death, rolling and unrolling his letters to her until they’re in tatters. www.yoshitoshi.net/series/100mo...

My newest self-portrait, set in 1667, the year in which Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle, published The Blazing World, a work of proto-speculative fiction in which a woman is transported into another world, where she is hailed as a goddess and creates her own religion.

In 2016 I was a crow

In 2021 I was just me, but everyone assumed I was a witch
