just saw the photo of the 5-year-old obviously trying not to cry as ICE held him hostage in the cold, as bait, in order to lure his family out of their house. “training & bodycams & more funding” for this? the Democratic party is a shambling corpse. there’s no line past which they’ll save us

does Bechdel think this is cute? “haha i used the thing while making the comic about how it’s bad” 🫠 also what is wrong with Gurney he’s like the LAST person i would expect to be posting awful AI “plane reference” lmfao it looks so bad

The Hiveworks Artist Guild has released a public statement alleging years of labor abuses, financial mismanagement, and misconduct at Hiveworks at the hands of Xellette “Xel” Velamist and Isabelle “Isa” Melançon. Read their full statement at: cartoonist.coop/hiveworks-gu...

not doing art vs. artist 2025. apart from that collage zine (sort of lukewarmly received offline, i think i sold maybe 2-3 copies at shows), i made/finished very little of my own art, & while i'm proud of the commission work i did, i can't even show all of it yet. plus i avoided photos. hard year.

last commission of 2025 - a little garlic & rue magic for the new @jewitches.bsky.social logo. watching this project grow over the years has been a treat, thank you so much for trusting me with this redesign!

In this bleak midwinter, as we emerge from the longest night of the year, do you still find yourself lost in the dark woods? In my first published game, Candlelight, you are ghosts trying to escape a haunted forest before it claims you forever. It's half off on @itch.io: itch.io/s/174601/win...

If you’re struggling with the “NEW YEAR, NEW YOU” BS that’s dominating IRL and online conversations right now, our zine can help you reframe your thinking and practice responses to people who try to sell it to you! You can grab it for free or leave a tip if you want.

this weekend i'll be at the 4th annual Pushcart Hanukkah Craft Market with some of the last batch of pocket golems - more info on their retirement at my Instagram 🖤 (if you're not local / can't get to western MA, don't panic - there will be some online in early 2026)

i already have two of these & you just keep coming out with more fun designs 😭💜 excited to be market golem buddies this weekend

do i know anyone with "librarian status" on Goodreads who can help me fix my author page (i've applied before - & just now again! - try to get control over it but it hasn't happened yet) 😩 would love to update the links, get rid of the books that aren't mine, delete the wrong pronouns (!)

going through decades-old sketchbooks is such a journey. page after page of cringing, then suddenly "oh i was cooking here what happened"

showed it to my partner last night (they loved it) & was delighted to find two more instances of the ghost that i missed the first time. i think of that as such a convention of much later horror films - give this movie its awards!!! 😤 the first & still the best!!!

another test message. this is the second of three fortune teller houses #art #sculpture #needlefelting

are you also as sick of seeing AI generated posters/flyers/etc in public as I am? I made some Big stickers about it and will be selling packs of them at future shows 🫶

we don't have polls here do we. what if i want opinions from masses of strangers?? i have to just ASK?

May her memory be for a revolution that lights all of our way home. ❤️‍🔥

Proceeds from our last two sales have been life changing for many of us - we've fixed cars, payed rents, supported family and visited loved ones. I can personally guarantee both the incredibly quality of this collection of filth, and the real, tangible difference your support makes. THANK YOU!

SS is by creators, FOR creators. There is no middle man, no publisher taking a cut - 100% of proceeds go to each participant in equal shares. It's a bunch of us getting together and harnessing the power of collectivism and sheer horny to support each other's work ❤️

my partner, several friends & some big inspirations all have work in this again! an incredible deal for some outrageously good shit AND you'd be supporting queer adult artists trying to survive in the face of fascist puritanism 😘

okay either the “weird flu” is almost over or i was REALLY missing zinc. so much better today 😮‍💨

unfortunately i've managed to repeat last year's "one Etsy shop update & then a lot of hopeful promises until suddenly it's November & i realize i need to just keep whatever stock i have for the upcoming Hanukkah market" 😩 so, no, there will not be another restock until early 2026

deciding to "get serious" this month about personal art projects i've been putting off, only to wind up a week+ into a mystery illness (??) that is causing all my muscles to be so stiff, sore & weak that i can sometimes barely wash dishes let alone draw/sculpt 🙃

mazel tov NYC 👏

“why can’t these characters ever be really good friends? i don’t have anything against sex, i just think we undervalue deep platonic relationships. not everything is about shipping, fans always take it too far” <- literally never said about straight pairings, i wonder why 🤔

finally caught up with this recently on the (longstanding!) recommendation of my partner & i think it’s one of the most compelling ensemble character studies in webcomics. just a super high level of craft all around

as a tax for sad-disability-posting i'm gonna post about horror movies now on Halloween night i finally saw Ghostwatch (1992) & holy shit. holy shit! the ACTUAL progenitor of found footage horror, Blair Witch go home

sometimes i’m awed by just how many incredible artists are putting work out into the world for us to see, & sometimes i’m struck by the thought of how many we never get to appreciate because they’re too sick/disabled to make their art

my brain is fried & i can't remember if this is the first time seeing the banner i designed but hey! it looks great!!! also i'm reasonably sure i never posted the art here (this is the ex libris version)

TIME WILL DEVOUR HIS CHILDREN: CHAPTER TWO is out now! This on-going dark fantasy comic about your past coming back to haunt you continues in its second 110-page installment, which you can buy here: claystorks.itch.io/time-will-de... 🍂

any time is a good time to start over any time is a good time to do something different with your art make it your own

i know so many people are gonna be deeply embarrassed in a couple of years by their current shallow, gullible engagement with (& obsequious defense of) gen “AI” but y’all should be embarrassed now

accompanied a friend to a small rural demonstration today & despite all the flag waving it was nice to see folks get together. this was my last-minute contribution 🖤

quote this with the first four horror movies that come to your mind that are 10/10s for you. no cheating. just the first four that pop into your head. The Cell (fight me about it) Relic Us Ravenous

this #nationalcomingoutday i’ve been out as queer for 25 years & out as trans for 10. i’ve used & loved & left behind a lot of other identity terms in that timeframe. i think that’s pretty normal! language changes, people change, imo there should be lots of room for it 💜

It's #nationalcomingoutday . I have used my work as a way of coming out for forty years. I have no regrets. If you are an artist of any kind, I hope that you can live your truth and show it to all of us.

if you're curious about WHY every other occult horror movie is chock full of Hebrew-lettered diagrams, & also why this actually sucks, you can read my (citation-heavy) zine on the subject here ezrarose.itch.io/fyma-a-lesse...

finally saw Nosferatu (2024) last night & my absolute favorite thing about it was the props, specifically the occult papers & books which did EVERYTHING i've been asking for from horror movies for so long - period-accurate styling of the paper, ink & drawing/writing, AND zero Hebrew 🙏⚰️🖤

i don't want to be on here. i don't want to be on literally any social media platform that currently exists except for tumblr, & that's because tumblr has somehow managed to cling to a self-curated chronological feed, a slower pace, & a culture of more potential anonymity

okay what did i miss. why is everyone talking about this website being done (that was fast)

that's a wrap! so grateful to everyone who participated & shared. winners have been contacted & prizes will be on their way shortly 🖤

heading to a local zine & sticker swap tonight ✌️you too can make these things happen in your area, especially if you have a public library that can host!

last chance! can you help us crest $1k? 💕

less than a week left on this, we’re nearing $800 raised for the Sameer Project & there are still many items with fewer than 5 tickets in their pool! you could win SO EASILY & there is no losing when it’s for such a good cause 💕🇵🇸

Shana tova u’metuka / Good and sweet new year this Rosh Hashanah Did you know griffins were important symbols for Medieval German Jews?

just thought i’d mention that with a little over a week left on this fundraiser, we’re nearing $500 raised 🎉 but only one person has put a ticket on my incantation bowl set 😲 which could mean they just win it for $10. y’all!!! these are one of a kind! that could be you!!!

the people who would remove sex from our lives or demonize our very bodies are attempting to make our lives poorer

apparently Instagram is no longer friendly to viewing without an account, so i'll be mirroring the prize posts in a thread here for people outside IG who want to participate (you DO still need a Venmo account to pay for tickets, sorry - that's what's available to us). prizes to follow! 🖤🍉🖤

all 20 (!!!) prizes are now listed for the raffle - most of these works would be an absolute steal at the price of a ticket (just $10, less if you buy more) & there are so many opportunities to win something! help us raise as much money as possible for the Sameer Project! instagram.com/sheydgarden

raffle is live on IG! there are (as of today) 17 items to list so i’ll be doing them in batches over the next couple of days - stay tuned 💕
