"tayyeb"
4-panel comic, ink and colored pencil, 10x12cm
panel 1: iran. a father and mother say goodbye to their daughters as another mother calls after hers, holding a lunchbox. in the foreground, 4 young girls wearing backpacks talk and smile. 2 are old enough for wearing hijab. caption: "on the morning of february 28, parents in the iranian city of minab dropped off their daughters at shajareh tayyebeh elementary."
panel 2: a single pink children's backpack rests against a ledge on the ground. it is soaked and spattered with blood. this is a reproduction of a photograph taken at the scene. caption: "minutes later, they came running back when an american missile hit the school, killing over 100 little girls and their teachers.
panel 3: a tree against a bright blue sky. on the branches are the faces of young students, on the roots are the faces of teachers. caption: "shajareh means tree. tayyebeh means good, clean, pure, innocent."
panel 4: the tree is now a bloody stump. behind, the students and teachers stand silently weeping, dressed all in white. above, a bloody axe with the flag of the united states of america on the head. caption: "remember how this war began: with the felling of the tree of innocence."

Two figures stand in an alleyway at night in winter. The trees are bare. The houses, stark and angular. A gigantic condo looms behind them, its facade lit up by the moon. Two young women emerge from the dark. A younger one and and an older one. The younger one has long dark hair, she wears a toque and puffy coat. She has rectangular glasses. She lights a cigarette while the older one looks on. The older one has her long dark hair tied in a ponytail. She has a fringe of hair resembling an up arrow. She wears a scarf and black peacoat. She has round glasses. She observes the younger one take a puff. The younger one says "Dad would kill me if he knew I was smoking." The older one implores "pleae let your big sister be a laign influence on you." She turns to look her sister in they and points out "you only turn nineteen once! Celebrate by indulging in newly legal vices!"

i need allies to stop looking at the ongoing horrors that trans people are facing and responding with "wow imagine what will happen when this comes for [others]"

yeah that'll suck, can we talk about it happening to us RIGHT NOW? we're more than the canary in the coal mine. we deserve to live too.

If you are in Toronto, come see my band Anti-Spectacular at Collective Arts (777 Dundas Street W) on March 5, 2026! It's a bunch of weirdo Punk music. We are joined by the caustic riffage of Super Kill Me Now and the spooky atmosphere of Frankie Teardrop.

We literally know now that anti-trans legislation was pushed by a pedophile ring to allow a pedophile ring to serve a pedophile ring’s interests, and legislators have decided the best course of action is to keep doing what the pedophile ring wants.
