right! I have to put a description here don't I? I'm a queer trans artist on the autistic spectrum that deals with depression and anxiety. I used to be a librarian, might again one day. I curse if you don't like it fuck off.

it's the same thing that allowed ice to rise. "we don't want x in our backyard" the area I live in has no active shelter for the homeless because neighbors kept making shit up about homeless people. and blocking something that would help them. they can't sleep in cars because bullshit "logic" also

chatted with them, but read their words and hoped that one day we'd all find the magic we were looking for. I still love reading some of those stories.

where people write stories about wizards and magic and...just whatever where they got changed into the people they wanted to be. never felt closer to people who I only know by their chosen pseudonyms...I know some of them are gone now...but man. did it feel awesome to know i wasn't alone. I never

I remember when the series finale of angel came out...first time I ever looked up a fandom. cause I was saddened that the series was over. and I found I wasn't alone. I also secretly discovered that I wasn't weird/alone for being trans...and there were so many like me. I found sites

yep. some states will let you do it from a distance...but a lot of them don't. and it sucks to even try to start.

stay, all of change a fucking piece of paper that doesn't mean shit to anyone. & then you gotta update the social security office cause they get mad. you gotta update jobs & anywhere else that has an official copy of your birth certificate. it. fucking. sucks. and that's if they let you change it

i'll also add its difficult to get your birth certificate to be changed to match your "legal name". being trans adds in 2005 additional complications. but a lot of states require you to go in person to change your birth certificate. so you have to take a week off, arrange travel and a place to

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON

This cartoon has four panels, each showing a different scene. In addition, there’s a small β€œkicker” panel under the fourth panel.

PANEL 1

The panel shows a counter at a fast food restaurant. We can see a couple of customers, and a couple of workers. The workers are wearing hats that very vaguely resemble hamburger buns. A sign on the wall shows a smiling hamburger with eyes, below the caption β€œSoilent Green YUM.” A smaller sign says β€œSAFETY” in larger letters followed by tiny print, which says β€œis a word we use a lot so you can’t sue us.”

The worker at the cash register is turning to speak directly to the reader.

WORKER: To get an official photo I.D., I have to go to the nearest government office, which is 90 miles away, and I don’t have a car, and even if I did my boss won’t give me a weekday off.

PANEL 2

We’re in what looks like someone’s back yard. In the foreground is a garden, with some sort of plant being grown in tidy rows. An elderly woman is kneeling on the ground in front of the garden, wearing a floppy straw hat, an apron with a floral patter, and holding a trowel. She speaks directly to the reader.

WOMAN: I can’t get I.D. without a birth certificate. But when I was born home births didn’t get birth certificates.

PANEL 3

A mover wearing jeans and a black tank top is carrying a sofa as he’s talking to the reader. 
MOVER: The state charges $60 for a driver’s license…. but first I’d need a copy of my birth certificate, which is $30. I can’t afford 90 dollars to vote!

PANEL 4

This panel shows the interior of a coffee shop. A man and a woman sit together at a table. They're both looking at their devices, him annoyed, her dismissive.
MAN: Why wouldn’t anyone be able to get an I.D.? Idiots!
WOMAN: People like that don’t deserve to vote.

SMALL KICKER PANEL UNDER THE BOTTOM OF THE CARTOON
The man from panel 4 yelling at Barry
MAN: If it’s easy for me it must be easy for everybody! That’s just science!

The cover shows a silhouette of the Shadow's profile in back, with the profile of a skull in front. The story "Voice of Death" is promoted on the cover.

never thought about it either. she did some of the things but didn't do the eye part and that was the one that I had trouble with...everything else I was decent on. neurosurgeon figured the vessel broke a few days prior to that initial visit so...yeah.

I think my only problem with the cover is the characters are too attractive to be adults. where are the scar lines from fighting with laundry??? or stupid shopping carts???

I don't expect anyone to keep up with me! mostly it was scary to go from "oh I have a headache" to "oh shit you have a brain bleed" in like 4 hours. NOT something I ever expected. now I can at least say I had brain surgery?
