Its sad that so many humans were so easily led astray. But I've learned that evil is easy for many.

Thank you! It's my hope that somewhere somehow my new comics can help somebody who's feeling alone with the hard stuff.

This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So:

In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.

Its ok. They mostly leave me alone these days. But thank you.

Outside of a couple hundred dollars in late fees...WE MADE IT.

Omg.

Every month we get closer and closer to the brink. Thank you for helping pull us back. 😭

We are working so hard every day while watching our friends and peers go over the cliff.

THANK YOU ALL.

My doctor has always said the same thing. The stress is bad for me. I know. I wish it was different.

I remain grateful that this isn't worse. Our community is everything.

Its another few weeks to work. To record. To get surgeries. To heal.

To fight.

Thank you.

I've got volumes of diary comics about the invasion, and about LA itself. I've only just begun even tho I'm on volume 6. I plan to keep doing this. To tell you all the stories from the past and the present. Chris feels the same. So you protecting us means more than you know.

After the military showed up here in LA we both got angry. We walked down to see them with our own eyes. Men standing guard with guns. A show of force that did something to our insides. Something chemical. We are tied to LA thru medical needs yes but also, we LOVE this city.

We have no children. No ties. If we have to we can make it work somehow. I mean, you should see Chris's autobio stuff. If we had to leave here we would both be full time auto bio artists for sure. We would record everything. We were afraid of this a couple years ago. Not now because:

His issue is a broken hand. He needs time to get it fixed and recover. Usually we are both working through the hard times. But he's got no power without the dominant hand. Artists need their hands!!

We have been making plans for awhile now. How to survive life back on the road. Its stressful.

The surgery i need is simple. The completion of my hysterectomy is an oophorectomy. Removing the ovaries. If I can get the dr to agree with my onco, then my shots are no longer needed. So if we had to resort to car sleeping or hotels, there's no worry about keeping appts or me getting sick.

Chris had to turn down a couple awesome gigs because of his broken hand and we sat down to talk. Super calmly we discussed our 20s and how life used to be. We talked about going back to that. Older now but we could do it if we have to. Pray to God but row for shore ya know?

I am so sorry you both are going through this.

Please support "Take the Fall" graphic memoir.

You will be forever changed.

We are all discussing #Epstein. This is another story of a minor who was groomed and sexually assaulted by other men.
