I had the pleasure of writing a review of Pig Wife, a sprawling gothic adventure and “weird girl” coming-of-age story set in a not-quite abandoned labyrinth of mine tunnels.

I'm beside myself with delight that the most globally popular and acclaimed show on the planet in 2026 was a creator who has this to say about it:

I wrote a review of @jameswelker.bsky.social's book on manga and feminist history! As a queer artist myself, this is something I’ve wanted for years – a reading of classic shōjo manga that takes the lives and politics of the creators into account. 🌟 studiesonasia.scholasticahq.com/article/1548...

Best wishes for a green and growing new year 🌿

Happy New Year everyone ✨ I don’t post my bird photography too much here but please enjoy my very first snowy owl

All the birds together. I'd like to update this into a true print...soon!

I love seeing typos in the papers and articles and short stories I read. I fucking love it. Thank god, I think. An actual human wrote this. Praise Jesus and all the saints. A human mind made a small mistake, and it's beautiful

My sincere wish for all of us in 2026 is we all keep makin' art! Good, bad, stinky – it doesn't matter! Let's keep making things. ✏️💨
