My drawing skills are perfectly consistent, as long as the room’s the right temperature, I slept just enough, ate well, have zero plans later, my chair feels right, my internet’s stable, I’m wearing my cozy hoodie, no one texts me, and I don’t remember that one embarrassing thing from 10 years ago.

Photo of a risograph printed illustration of a dinosaur skeleton. The dinosaur is surrounded by lots of storage boxes containing more dino bones and other scientific research. The room the skeleton is in looks like a cluttered back room of a natural history museum. The print is printed in federal blue, sunflower, bright red and teal inks.

Close up of the riso print from slide one. The riso texture is more visible.

An older Orson Welles sitting down for an interview, but with a meme quote that says: Content, content, content! A taco possesses content. A ship's manifest. An owner's manual for the operation of a microwave. Was Botticelli a content creator? Did Joyce wreck himself in chasing English to its limits "for the vine"? My God, man; have a little self respect.

When I hear people describe themselves as content creators.

Orange speech balloons come from the computer saying “Nazis but they’re tech bros?? Anti-trans bills, general fascist bullshit, we hate you and all your friends, also pay us money”

An illustration of hands covered in a rough skin rash. The skin and rash are coloured in unnatural green hues. The text reads: I have a condition that makes my hands pucker and scar. It hurts. Sometimes it bleeds. It’s just a rather annoying form of eczema.

The same hands covered in the rash reach for a computer keyboard. Text reads: recently, it’s spread to my fingertips. Which means that my computer’s fingerpad lock no longer recognises me. Below this panel there is a drawing of a man shouting at a computer. The computer says “your fingies…they seem suspicious” the man shouts “let me in! I have work to do!”

An illustration of a computer Lock Screen. The text reads: luckily I know my own damn password so the foolish machine is forced to let me in regardless. Below the man looks at his computer. The computer cheerfully says “oh! It’s you! Why didn’t you say so earlier?” The man has a thought bubble saying “one day I’ll replace you with one of those laptops that unlock with face recognition…”

A small #comic about eczema and computers.

Thrilled to finally be able to shout about this GN I’m working on!!

I put another payment on my nearly maxed-out credit card.

False money, false hope.

I know we cannot crowdfund our way out of a genocide. There is no amount of money that I can give which will stop the bombs.

But what else can I do when people are dying?

Carefully engineered powerlessness in the face of atrocity.

Not gonna address this any further because the terrible and "obviously-not-bitter" transphobic writer wizard lady trapped in a hell of her own making can easily go sit on several tacks but imagine saying "I'm not going to accept your apology" to people who never offered you one to begin with lol

An orange and blue illustration of star with a heart at the center glowing brightly in space. The title says A Litany for the Lonely. The illustration zooms in on the star. At the center is a glowing person curled up. The text below says: I will not fear my own company. The glowing star person is greeted by various spaceships and satellites. The text reads: I will cherish those around me while they are here. Close up on the star person as they pu a hand to their chest. The text reads: and when they are not, I will cherish myself.

Back on earth, a man holds a star chart which includes the star person. On a cork board in the background there is a note that says “new star?”. The text reads: My loneliness does not define me. The man holding the chart is in his office looking out the window at the star. His room is fun of star posters, planet diagrams and telescopes. The text reads: I am not broken or without love. The man focuses his telescope on the star person. Text reads: I peacefully await the next bright moment of connection… Closeup on the telescope viewfinder where we can see the star person smiling at the man. Text reads: …with hands and heart outstretched.

Here is a little comic for the folks who often find themselves feeling alone. This piece will eventually be a riso zine with a poster on the back but probably not till later in the year!
