Approximately a year after I began this project, I have finished the embroidery part of my larger-than-lifesize self-portrait “Queer Rage in Exile.” Next I will decide how to display it and where. I’m open to ideas as to where this should be displayed, so please reach out if you have suggestions!

A few years ago I made a series of collage portraits of friends and people who have influenced me in positive ways. Each one used photographs I personally took and hand dissected, of gemstones, clouds, flowers, and other things from real life.

Thinking about the fact that certain Chatbots have encouraged kids to end their lives and how certain tech bros don't want to change them lest they go "out of character"... My grumpy talking fish was a better person than those jerks.

Super fun to get hit with bi-phobia from a rando whose timeline is filled with “Love is love 🏳️🌈” posts. Apparently acceptance only goes one way?

In 2022 or so, I began taking generic Lexapro to help with an esophageal issue. I was not a fan of meds (docs used to call me the "Side Effect Queen"), but my gastroenterologist convinced me by saying that a side effect might be that some of my anxiety would be lifted.

The hardest part about being an editor is having to reject people, even those whose work I’d like to publish but I can't for one reason or another (the other editors rejected it; it is too similar to something else we've got on the roster; it doesn't fit with the magazine's goals or aesthetics).

These handsome devils with their fancy crowns appear to be Charaxes sempronius, the Tailed Emperor butterfly. They're native to Australia where they feed on kurrajong or bottletree shrub leaves. They're also famous for getting drunk & fighting on hilltops. Let's talk about these tiny dragons.

When someone courts a person much younger than them and says, “s/he’s more mature than I am!” I have never taken that to mean that their object of affection is actually mature.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

In 2013, I made an essay for XOJane about being sexually harassed on a panel of my colleagues. I anonymized the harrasser, but he outed himself a couple days later, issuing a public non-apology ("Sorry you didn't get my sense of humor"), which led to his fans barraging me with hate + death threats.

People who read my books know I have been in a looot of relationships, and while I don't regret most of them (each experience is a lesson blah blah blah), I do regret not seeing the words, "You put too much importance on ___" as an incompatibility issue rather than a moral failing.

Sometime in the future, when I’m feeling despair, it will help if I can remember that somewhere there is a warm and humorous woman who possesses institutional knowledge on the best ways to feed baby beavers.

A Sensuous Woman by J. I was maybe 13 or 14 and it was quite gross in many many many ways…but it did teach me to make eye contact and how to flirt. Also, tijuana bibles when i was like five 😅

In my 20s and 30s I supported my comics by taking on large difficult freelance creative projects or part-time easy (not creative) jobs. I work better when focusing all my energy on something, so during those large projects I’d take a comics hiatus, then switch back to all-comics or painting later.

Today I was bonding with an older Chinese-New Yorker who has lived in Japan for decades. We were getting along great until she said the only thing she agrees with T-ump about is that nonbinary people have gone too far.

It’s interesting how many people think of other people’s bodily autonomy choices as moral failings, whether it’s cosmetic surgery, abortions, the decision whether or not to wear makeup, their hairstyle, fashion decisions, etc.

Yesterday I got into a bit of an IRL altercation with a wannabe bully. He tried to hurt my feelings by telling me he couldn't tell if I'm a man or a woman. Considering I'm nonbinary, it was not the flex he thought it was. 😂
