It's Pride month! If you're a new follower and aren't familiar with my work yet, or are looking for comics to read, check out...

O Human Star: my 2012-2020 webcomic about an inventor who wakes up in a robot body after being dead for 16 years and seeks out his former partner and the young android who shares a copy of his mind.

Meal: an aspiring chef moves to town, meets a cute girl, and tries to get hired at a restaurant that specializes in insect cuisine. Written with my friend Soleil Ho.

Across a Field of Starlight: two nonbinary teens from two very different spacefaring societies meet by chance and stay in touch even as a galaxy-spanning war threatens them both.

Adversary: A former women's self defense instructor stumbles into a messy relationship with a former student who has since transitioned. My covid-era feel-bad book. Adults only.

I also have digital versions of comics I've made over the years at my itch.io and Patreon, and signed books in my store. Thanks for your support, and happy Pride!

It is, once again,

[peach-pot]

being anti-amatonormativity in a romance centered world is like watching half the people you know put all their eggs in one basket and then drop the basket and all their eggs break and they’re crying and swearing they’re never gonna do that again and then a month later they have all new eggs in a new basket and they tell you the problem was they didn’t have a strong enough basket or fresh enough eggs and then they drop the fucking basket again.

[peach-pot]

I think some people on this post don’t know what the phrase “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” means… or why it means that.

[quinnick]

It’s that time of year again so here is your yearly reminder that the world isn’t ending and people don’t hate you. The sun is just setting at 6 pm.

Please take your vitamin D

HEY SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE GIRLIES, ITS OUR TURN TO ENDURE THE DARK DAYS NOW, BUT STAY STRONG. THE WORLD IS NOT ENDING; THE SUN IS JUST SETTING AT 5-to-6 PM. BUT SHE WILL COME BACK TO US SOON. TAKE A VITAMIN D AND HANG IN THERE.

[ id: a set of four digital, stylized paintings, the first three with white backgrounds and the last one with a black background. Individual descriptions below:

1) A thin person with dark skin and black, coily hair wearing a yellow top stands in front of the aromantic flag with closed eyes, a green heart on their chest. Text around them reads: Black aros matter. ("Aros" is in green, the rest is in black)

The aromantic flag has five horizontal stripes, in green, light green, white, gray and black.

2) A thin person with medium-dark skin, no hair, a beard and brown eyes wearing a purple flannel shirt stands in front of the asexual flag smiling, with a dark purple heart on their chest. Text around them reads: Black aces matter. ("Aces" is in purple, the rest is in black)

The asexual flag has four horizontal stripes, in black, gray, white and purple.

3) A thin person with dark skin, long, colorful locs and brown eyes wearing glasses, a yellow hat, a green shirt, and black suspenders, smiling in front of a rainbow infinity symbol. Text around them reads: Black neurodiversity matters. ("Neurodiversity" is in rainbow colors, the rest is in black)

4) A black fist stands in front of a green and turquoise splash of paint, with text around it reading: All black lives matter. ("All" is underlined and hot pink, the rest is in white)

lately I’ve been thinking a lot that Onni probably was the one who taught Lalli how to fight and use magic… well, one of the thoughts became a picture

[grahoriasfancave]

Friendly reminder that:

Tuuri wants to see the gruesome, cannibalistic remains of a diseased and tormented human so so bad

Lalli completely failed to notice his own recruitment into the book-looting expedition until he was on the boat heading to Sweden, despite his whole job being to notice things

Emil’s got so many problems that his obvious pyromania is barely touched on

Reynir waltzed into a volatile near-stranger’s private sanctum uninvited and immediately tried to give said stranger’s (very dangerous, very large) owl luonto scritchies like a dog. He will do this again.

Mikkel once found a dead squirrel floating in his pot and just cooked it into the food, fur and all

Sigrun is one good day from drafting the teens she’s babysitting into the Norwegian military with or without their knowledge and/or consent

Onni is one bad day from becoming a missing persons case

Taru, Trond, and the Västerströms speak for themselves

In conclusion:

The only sane member of the main cast is the goddamn cat

hey everypony !! since i’m supporting the DCblackout boycott, i figured i’d make a small info post with links and summaries !!

DCblackout:

DCblackout is the second stage of the DCsowhite discussion that took place earlier this year, which pointed out that DC hasn’t publtished a solo, on-going black title in over 1200 days

DCblackout has 3 main goals: 1. establish and announce 1-3 black on-going titles (with black creative teams) that have cancellation immunity for a minimum of 2 years, 2. educate fans on how sales work so they can accurately support the titles they love, & 3. greenlight a power company book if the titles do well (which would help a fanbase grow)

the goal of DCblackout is to raise awareness of the lack of black DC stories and give fans heroes they can relate to and see themselves in.

blackgirlnerds.com

their official public statement is as follows:

bleedingcool.com

DCsowhite and why now:

DCsowhite brought attention to the fact that there has been no black on-going title in over 1200 days. the last title was ‘I Am Batman’, which ran from 2021-2023 and ended on its #18 issue.

dc heavily relies on mini-runs or one shots for black characters, and black female characters receive even less.

james portis III (aka JPenumbra) posted a piece to comicsbeat.com focusing on the issue.

comicbeats.com

this has been an issue for a long time, but it doesn’t have to continue this way !! below is a link to the DCblackout petition, and blow that are links to JPenumbra’s original piece, the DCblackout website, and blackgirlnerds.com and bleedingcool.com’s pieces (in that order).

If youre a closeted person somewhere out there thinking "I want to transition but it would be less progressive/unique/countercultural for me to be that gender instead of this one" please know that you are a real person not a character in a narrative and cant live your life based on what is good media representation. You are real you can only be yourself and theres no moral weight to any identity over another

[pawberri]

Liberal transphobes enjoy positioning trans identities as regressive compared to cis queerness or like non-transitioning transness or anything else they can leverage to make transphobia look progressive and I think its easy to absorb that message subconciously. But in real life we just are what we are and no ranking of validity can change the fact that you have an identity that is NOT chosen and is just your unchangeable truth. Not only should you not have to live a life dictated by what is most countercultural to identify as or whatever but also: being trans is extremely countercultural and feminist and leftist to begin with and theyre only trying to convince you otherwise bc theyre bigots

[pawberri]

"Why cant you be a feminine man society hates feminine men 🥺" and "all the butch lesbians are becoming men we need u 🥺" = stay in the closet for the noble purpose of being an abstract representation point in my new york times opinion column. You wont actually be a gnc cis person youll be a closeted trans person who uses the wrong words but I need you to do that because i hate you

[elierlick]

Yet another new study debunked the basis for the anti-trans sports bans. It was never about sports but for creating legal avenues for exclusion and abjection. This is one of the largest analyses ever conducted, involving 52 studies and 6,485 trans people. Read the study here.

If the world was a just and rational place there would be outrage that the Yankees planted their flag on Earth's moon. There would be outrage that the Americans seemingly claimed the fucking moon for themselves. That the moon which has held such significance across countries, across continents, across time- now has the American flag on it. Could you imagine if the Soviets got there? I mean we'd be (rightfully) pissed. But the USA gets to put their eyesore of a flag on a celestial object without objection. Why did we as a planet let them get away with that???

[cryptotheism]

They don't want you to know this but K and G are actually the same sound. You just vibrate your vocal cords for the second one. Same thing with T and D. And S and Z. This thing goes straight to the top.

[cryptotheism]

You might think R is a consonant. It is. (Quietly) It is. But dark things happen with that little glyph. It has powers beyond the ordinary phoneme.

[str-ngeloop]

Everything's the same except for the ways in which they are different.

[cryptotheism]

When they make me god Themperess of philosophy, I'm sorting out all this difference and similtude nonsense. I think we only need maybe ten categories tops.
