fuck your doctor’s feelings. this sounds harsh but it needs to be. i cannot count the number of times i have encountered people who were not being adequately treated by their doctors, often not even diagnosed, often not even being believed, but were too afraid to switch doctors because of their doctor’s feelings. people are suffering and sometimes dying because they are afraid of hurting the feelings of someone who is failing at their job. not all doctors are equally qualified to treat all conditions, not all doctors are going to be good for every patient, and not all doctors are good at their jobs at all.

your doctor’s job is to treat you and if they suck at their job, get a new one. get as many as it takes. their feelings are not more important than your life and well-being.

This also goes for counselors and psychiatrists! Their job is to help you, and if they’re not doing that then you should definitely find someone ekse who can! No shame

When I was 19 or 20, I sewed myself a wool dress for medieval re-enactments. I hated it almost as soon as I put it on. The bodice was cut wrong; the lacing was uneven; the colour was garish; the front closure was historically inaccurate; the embellishments were sewn on with terrible thread. Wearing it, I was constantly aware of its myriad flaws.

Then in my twenties I hit my adult metabolism and didn’t fit into any of my old clothes anymore. I gave my old dresses to my foster mother, who sells costumes for a living, and the green dress sold. It entered the local medieval re-enactment secondhand economy.

Every time I go to an event, someone different is wearing my green dress. It draws my eyes because it’s a lovely colour and the fabric—real wool and enough of it—moves beautifully with the wearer’s body. I never recognize it at first, because every wearer has worn it a different way; it can be mixed and matched, dressed up and down, moved around a good century of history. From ten feet away its lacing looks elegant, its embellishments beautiful gracenotes. I think: Oh my god, that dress looks beautiful. Wait a minute, that’s MY DRESS.

That dress teaches me, every time I see it, to stop looking at myself through such critical eyes. That dress doesn’t just look good, it looks better than most other dresses in its category, because I put in the time and the effort (including using pliers to force a needle through six layers of wool) to make sure it was done right.

It’s my reminder that sometimes the things I do are actually good, and if I indulge my natural tendency to criticize myself in everything, I’ll end up missing when I’m actually awesome.

I am enjoying drawing these much more than doing my work. It’s risky, but time theft feels good. I have 3 more of these shorter comics planned, with potentially more beyond those.

Organizing DON’Ts #1: [a little black cat says: Never talk about organizing on the job.]

[a shady figure wearing sunglasses eavesdrops on the little black cat talking to a coworker] If your campaign is public, then organizing on the job can cause National Labor Relations Board issues. [The little black cat is saying, “Um, let’s talk after work.”]

[the little black cat wears an apron and stocks a shelf at work while being watched closely by a security camera] If you aren’t public yet, the job is the worst place to talk about unionizing.

[the little black cat and coworker talk safely in a café over coffee] Always organize outside of work. It’s safer, more secure, and let’s you get to know your coworkers better! [the coworker is saying, “I been at the job 4 years…”]
