Did you know that every issue of OTHERSIDE features interior art, too? Take a peek at some of the creatures you'll find in our print/ebook editions! @demonography.bsky.social is the best, and we love these little guys so much. We can't wait for you to see more of them in Issue 2, arriving June 1st!

The fucking nerve of drivers to roll down their windows after nearly missing me on my bike and ask “what’s your problem? I didn’t ACTUALLY hit you did I”. Yes I yelled at you because you almost killed me, guess what my problem is

if you find yourself appalled that RFK Jr is able to make this claim but you don’t wear a mask in, at the very least, public indoor spaces, you are acting in precisely the way that allows him to say that covid is gone.

ISSUE 1 will be free to read online TOMORROW! We cannot wait for everyone to read our debut issue. If you're excited, too, know we couldn't do this without you: subscribing or buying a copy is what will allow us to bring you many more issues full of queer art, stories, and poems in the future ✨

Honoured that I was asked to draw little friends for the interior of Issue 1, go check it out and the wonderful writing within! (Also the cover by @hvmator.bsky.social is sooo rad)

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?

I haven't been able to hold down a traditional full-time on-site job since 2015. Since 2015, I've: ⚡ Published 23 novels/novellas ⚡ Worked on five games that were critical and commercial hits ⚡ Worked on two unreleased titles All because I've been able to work on a disability-friendly schedule

January was a hard month but I'm still having fun doing my monthly daily little drawings and these owls were fun to do! I switched over my journal this year from an a6 hobonichi techo to a midori hibino so the squares are a little different and smaller :O

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

Thanks to all your amazing Kickstarter support, we've commissioned an artist to do interior art for our year 1 issues! @demonography.bsky.social did an amazing job 🪐🗡️ Please enjoy this teaser of their incredible art. We love these lil guys! We can’t wait to share our first issue in March!

drivers hate poor people

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

Hey friends, you don’t have to produce any kind of thing or object or media to be a part of a group of friends. Just being alive is enough. I love you,

The two inevitable technologies that VC ends up reinventing are phrenology and the bus.

Here are some nice mushrooms

I love living here, always so grateful

I've been quietly doing cozy nestober prompts for this year's daily October drawings www.instagram.com/hello.nestob... The first two are "nest" and "tea" - my favourite things in the fall weather! This year i'm focused on making little scenes. #nestober2025

Calling for an end to illegal settlements is not controversial Being in favour of enforcing international law is not controversial Condemning the murder of journalists, doctors, and children is not controversial Calling for an arms embargo is not controversial

Not to make light of the horrible rude things people have said to me about my other identities but sometimes people say the weirdest things when they find out I’m vegetarian

proposing a sort of horseshoe theory for UX design: where the ultimate way to improve a user’s (life) experience is by making an app/OS so painful to use that they log off entirely

Have to post this sweet riso print I drew and The Washi Station (www.avivamaiartzy.com/thewashistat...) printed for a collab last year featuring some trans bugs and Luna the cat ❤️ Love these collaborations!!! And always learning something new and pushing myself when it comes to print and riso.

Cooking up something small and fun with the little monthly squares I've been doing!

I realized that maybe I should have put these monthly daily drawings in a thread. Oh well! Here is June’s list, if anyone also wants to draw these lil guys!! It’s amphibians this month! Text list in alt text 💚

We’re two and a half years into the AI hype cycle. How is it still going? This week @emilymbender.bsky.social and @alexhanna.bsky.social join @parismarx.com to dig into the harms of generative AI and industry strategies to keep the public’s attention. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/277_...

For a couple of years we had uncanny valley videos of imaginary disfigured people writhing on the floor in an airport. You could watch it on your phone which was sort of a small television your boss could also yell at you on. Anyway that's why birds are extinct now

Still a bit of a work in progress but I finally updated my website 🥳 built using @astro.build because I wanted somewhere where I can put up some templated pages instead of the more simple one-page site I had. and also more photos of my cat hehehee

Tom Humberstone's excellent comic about the Luddites' history. thenib.com/im-a-luddite/

I have a bit of a backlog on these now and i've been Very Sick but still having fun doing my monthly dailies. Here is my March one (March flowers!) 🌸 #FlowerIllustrations #FlowerDrawings #flora #hobonichi #calendar

Updating website finally and making tiny friends

Here are some nice mushrooms

I love cherry blossom season and it makes me so happy to live here / also super allergic 🤧

The emboldened, rising tide of fascism in the US has me reflecting a lot about the importance of standing up for our marginalized communities in meaningful ways. There is power in unity - we must build our communities, support our neighbors, and stand together.

Fishy February was fun! Drew a lot of fish friends. #FishIllustrations #FishDrawings #hobonichi #calendar
