For anyone just tuning in, Black Magic is a long form urban fantasy webcomic about a high school senior from Virginia who suddenly finds herself trapped between rebel dragons and her family's dark past.

Black Magic will always be free to read. Right now it's on Webtoon and the Black Magic website. On youtube I've got videos showing my process for every page. Sometimes (rarely) I stream on Twitch. This comic is exclusively supported by wonderful patrons on Patreon.

most dangerous being on the planet and he looks like a soaking wet kicked puppy

His holiness Arlo, saint of biting legs and eating poop

[mbrainspaz]

I love to cradle my tiny chibble dog's head in my palms and ask him things because he just stares at me with those big dark eyes in his pancake face and I can feel in my soul that he understands something beyond the questions I am asking

[mbrainspaz]

a happy spud for your dash

[mbrainspaz]

*kisses you on the forehead*

[mbrainspaz]

I try to disappear in these vids but Arlo got me

[mbrainspaz]

Collins is gone.

Namaygoosisagagun First Nation/Collins has burned to the ground. The entire community is nothing but ashes after being quickly consumed by wildfires. They did not have any support from emergency services, and no one offered aid. The community saved themselves by escaping into boats because no one came.

Mishkeegogamang and Cat Lake have lost power. Families are ending up in shelters with nothing. Armstrong, Lac La Croix, Whitesand, Gull Bay, Lac des Mille Lacs are currently in the fires path and all members are being evacuated.

All this loss, all this devastation, and it was entirely preventable.

After steadily underfunding wildland firefighting and purposefully excluding Indigenous wildland firefighters and Indigenous wildfire organizations from wildfire operations, firefighter training, decisionmaking, and resource exchanges, in 2025, Doug Ford slashed the forest firefighting budget.

It's hard to ignore his decision to cut funding and leave us out of adequate fire training (even though we've lived with forest fires for thousands of years—far longer than settlers have been in Canada—and made sure fires like the ones we're all seeing today were prevented through kinisitotēn) when, despite making up less than 5% of the population, we account for 42% percent of all wildfire evacuations in Canada.

And when we are successfully evacuated, we face discrimination and racism—like Kashechewan—because it's always been easier to blame us than it is to blame the true culprit: denialism, corportate greed, and colonization.

The people of Collins and every other impacted community deserve better.

Right now, the AFN is currently accepting donations to help Collins First Nation. If you're able to, please consider donating.

ONWA (Ontario Native Women's Association) is another great place to donate to. They have outreach vans going to motels and inns and offering food, water, resources, and cultural support to those impacted by the wildfires.

Other places to consider donating to are Mikinakoos Emergency Fund, Red Cross, True North Aid, Indigenous Climate Action. You can also send donations directly to Whitesand First Nation via e-transfer ([email protected]) and they request that you add your full name in the e-transfer comment section to receive a tax receipt.

*Before sending money, verify that the appeal appears on an official First Nation, Tribal Council or registered charity channel.

If you live in the Thunder Bay area, Namaygoosisagagun Health Office is also taking in donations!
