OK here is my NSFW account! I will be slowly posting my backlog over the next couple of weeks and be where all my NSFW art lives from now on!

[kelseysshorts]

Going to be at the Lucky and Friends Market tomorrow! The weather should hold out (fingers crossed) I’ll have bandanas, risograph prints and comics, lots of cool stuff!

[kelseysshorts]

I'm going to try posting my comic from CYBER LEWDS because I have gotten some very encouraging feedback and I feel like I've really unlocked something when it came to overall process in making this comic. It's definitely not perfect but it feels complete and decently written (to me, anyway). Comic is R18, so be warned!

I'm thinking this blog is going to be the best place to read it online. Enjoy!

I just learned that the Russian word for “ladybug” translates to “God’s Little Cow”

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

It’s the same in Irish! bóín Dé!

[peniswizard69]

in hebrew it’s “our rabbi moses’s cow”

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

Oh I love this news!!!!

[pulmonary-poultry]

Multiple cultures upon seeing a ladybug for the first time: “Who’s cow is this????”

I’m going to be at SPX! I’ll have copies of FANTASY LEWDS AND CYBER LEWDS along with a lot of prints, stickers, mini-comics…it’s going to be a good time! Table H6! THIS WEEKEND

[kelseysshorts]

I’m so terrible at taking photos, participating or remembering to take any. Big thanks to OK Fox so I have at least these three from a very nice weekend at QTZ at the Steel Yard in Providence. Everyone was so nice, both ppl attending and the other vendors, the zine fest organizers and volunteers- so wonderful.

Person with housemates can study.

Person who has spent all their cash on rent and food still has a place to get out of the house and do something interesting.

Cool community classes and community art shows.

ESL tutoring.

Tax prep and forms.

tbh fuck anyone who says a single bad thing about libraries

[diplotomodon]

Not content I normally reblog but libraries are super important and our world would be diminished without them.

[smallswingshoes]

The library was how I was able to read so many books as a kid that my parents wouldn’t have been able to afford.

[insomination]

Libraries are one of the only places on Earth that treats people the same no matter how much money you have. We can’t lose that.

[sewickedthread]

And nowadays many libraries also rent ebooks, movies, and some even have tools. Many libraries have computer basics classes (I knew someone who taught those to older adults and every class, she would sit on a keyboard at one point, just to remove some of the fear of ‘messing up’ from her students).

There’s a library near me that uses their old card catalog for a seed library (you don’t literally return the seed that you borrow, you collect seeds from your plant and return those).

Some have rooms available to non-profits for meetings. Does your philatelist club need a place to meet? What about your caps for preemies group?

Some sponsor lectures, on information like local history. There’s a couple near me that have ‘meet the artist’ days where an artist sets up shop to show how they do their art. A crocheter friend of mine takes hooks and yarn to show kids how to do a chain.

Remember: WE PAY TAXES to support them. Use them.

[a-dinosaur-a-day]

I was a poor kid. Did not have access to much. But my parents got me a library card early and I spent my whole childhood there. Every dino book, every science book, heck - even VHS tapes on dinosaurs and science. I devoured them.

Libraries are gateways. I would not be a scientist without them. And the better they are - the more we fund and support them - the more doorways open up for everyone.

Protect libraries. Fund libraries. Knowledge is power, and libraries make knowledge available to ALL.

Piyo-piyo Rumic-world inspired aprons!

[kelseysshorts]

See you soon, Otakon! I will have these stickers and some new stuff - like these stand user bandanas that my good friend Gia is modeling for me.

[kelseysshorts]

Hi! Cyber Lewds sold out at my local shop before I could get a copy! Is there anywhere else at can buy it ? I was so excited to see a Riso zine anthology !!

Hi! Where are you located? We have to put a few more copies together but they will be available at Otakon this weekend in DC, and Flame Con in New York.

[kelseysshorts]

We’re going to get the ending of X after all. This was all part of CLAMP’s master plan, I’m sure of it.

Someone made a little review about my mini comic from 2019! I'm still really fond of this comic, and I agreed with about 90% of what this guy had to say. (He misgenders the MC)

Times are tough, so if you want to read the whole thing I have it posted online for free here

If you would like to purchase it (100 percent riso printed, by ME) you can do that here:

And I am 100% sure this guy did NOT pick up the extra spicy R-18 mini-sequel.

[kelseysshorts]

Who’s going to be at Otakon this year? Come and spend money at my table in the Artist alley and get a niche sticker!
