If you would ever like to throw some $$ to some folks, we've sent out 80k whistles since December 1st and our printers have wishlists with filament, but we also have a GFM for shipping costs/other related help for folks who hate amazon! linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Oh right, my webcomic also updated today if you wanted to check it out and support it. We don't really make much since leaving Hiveworks, so anything helps!

The internet is a place of high anxiety that is making my high pain not better but! This book that I have been slowly working on--and is, hands down, the snarkiest thing I've ever written--just crossed 100 pages! I hereby award myself a Gold Star for writing & another Gold Star for persevering!!

Get your writing projects figured out for the year now with an affordable premade cover. No generative AI--all design elements are licensed assets by real photographers and artists. There are new ones in the shop as I work on retooling my site. payhip.com/IndigoChickD...

Happy Deductible Reset January to those who (don't) celebrate it! Poor @totallydonna.kitrocha.com has one (1) biologic that costs $3,800. We are trying to scrounge up money to pay for it! That means 20% off sale in the shop! (even on new things!) thebrokencircle.etsy.com

Hey-- I'm proud of you. Shit is awful & everything's terrible and it is! But there's still joy & hope & you're doing your best to lean into them--a cool bird, a fun show, a new book--hey, maybe that new notebook really WILL fix it all this time! Just know that you're here & I'm so proud of you.

Emily Bell, Atthis Arts. That's who I am talking about. I'm done. I posted this and two minutes later she blocked me. It's been a year of this. I'm fucking done.

Watch this. Watch it now.

Haha it’s a classic

If anyone didn't get a chance to hit the wishlist, we've been given a local fundraiser for a family who is suffering financial hardship because they can't safely go out without fearing they won't come home to their children. They need so little to feel some security! I know we can get this.

I read a book today! It was a graphic novel! We Could Be Magic by Marissa Meyer and Joelle Murray! Because when my stress levels aren't even visible on the charts, graphic novels are easier for me to process! Yah, books!!!

As ICE killed a record number of people in 2025, a shocking 75 Democrats called for even MORE ICE enforcement in local communities. Is your member on this list? I name names, share a script to use when calling them, and share the names of those ICE killed. www.qasimrashid.com/p/did-your-d...

Folks we are almost $1400 after 3 hrs. Our plan is to do this every 3 days till this occupation is over. Immigrant communities all over the state are concerned that if they even go to get groceries that their loved one may not come back home.

Well, the Bears game has finally started.

I don't know man, but I think you're doing great. Shit is really tough right now on so many fronts. I'm not saying it'll get easier or better anytime soon. I have no idea. But being creative, writing, drawing, whatever, is no small thing. And taking joy in those things is never a waste of time.

Yesterday's pigeon was a *secret* commission but today's pigeon is a commission for someone who's not on Bluesky!

This thread is making me chortle--actual chortling is happening!!

Freaking adorable!

We’re at two months until THE BRIGHTEST BLAZE releases on March 10! What are you looking forward to the most in the final Vector City Supers book? 💥💥💥

"No, we can't get a dish/cable/internet/etc--we live too far out in the country, they can't run the wires out this far." (this is also why my parents still had a party line phone when I was born, but by the time I can recall phones, we had a private line)

Took my first GPL-1 shot yesterday. Woke up feeling hung over today after the WILDEST dreams that involved me asking Matt Damon, "Am I doing the right thing?" about elder care. Off to a great start!

Because everyone needs cute animal photos right now.

So I did a silly little ink and watercolor and thought it would make a pretty funny postcard for peeps once I added some text from the Irish Wolfhound, Oberon. It was so much fun and honestly good for my mental health that I’ve decided to do it on the regular. So yeah—you can join Oberon’s club. 1/

The opt-out deadline for the Anthropic settlement has been extended to January 29, by order of the new judge in the case. www.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com

I had a dr. appt with a v. friendly nurse practitioner who...I think was trying to tell me I looked good for my age? "We're basically the same age!" "How old are you? I turn 50 this year!" "I just turned 37! See? Basically the same!" Bless her heart, but if you can't even remember the 80s? No.

I just think it's wild that the armed professionals who wander our streets are allowed to act in fear, but the untrained normal citizens are supposed to know exactly what to do under terrifying circumstances or die

You can now join my Patreon for as low as $1 a month and support me while I manage writing with a disability. 💪💪💪 And you get to learn some fun facts about the past. Maybe you haven't heard of Verna Felton's name or recognize her face, but you might know her voice from classic Disney films.

Art is joy! Queer art is joy! Treat yourself and read this lovely little web comic!!

I have -34$ and still need about 1200 to clear my back rent. Any help and shares are SO appreciated!

Here's the email that goes with the Amazon impersonation scam that's going around (note the fake email address--Amazon is not going to be emailing you from a Gmail address)

Oh! Found it! If you need tips on ruthlessly cutting All The Words, this is the way!

I have a whole, extremely detailed thread somewhere on here but-- If you write even a little bit long, learning to cut and cut ruthlessly is going to save you. What did the editor cut a lot of last time? Cut it this time before sending it off. You're the boss of your words. Act like it.

So, in the good news dept., Harlequin reverted the rights to three titles, which are all connected books! YAH! But now I also...have to do something with these books?

This is literally @adelebuck.com's worst nightmare #leftbird

Gonna go ask my corgi if she speaks Welsh brb

This was a reply to a different cat post but would anyone be interested in hearing about Tucker the Asshole Cat's AMAZING discovery today?

Daniel is local

People have asked if I still need filament, but everyone was so generous this week that I should have MORE than enough on the way. So I asked folks in the whistle group to share any wishlists they have, and will be sharing them as I get them! This one has some fun colors!

So Mom was watching MS NOw or whatever the fuck it's called & heard the Minneapolis mayor say "Get the Fuck out of our city!" live and then they had a commentator say "That sort of language can be damaging" or whatever and, like, wasn't that the whole fucking point of Zorhan's inauguration speech?

If you're looking for ways to help, this is a good one.

Okay, so remember--you can only do so much, take in so much, and if you're not boots on the ground where shit is going down, marinating in terrible news is the fast-track to Awfulville. Pick 1 to 3 to 5 things you can do today (contact your reps! Report X for child porn on App Stores! Donate!) &

I did this on my phone, even though I don't have social media on my phone (for my own mental health).

Republicans let ACA tax credits expire and now healthcare costs are doubling for over 22 million Americans. House Democrats and a few Republicans are forcing a vote to undo this before millions lose health coverage, but your GOP representative needs to hear from you ASAP. indivisible.org/reso...

You know what no one, in the history of dogs, has ever said? "I wished beagles barked *more*!" No one. Not once.

I want to do a thread on "Small Press Red Flags" brought to you by years in the trenches combined with some issues I’m seeing pop up again in writer circles. Note: an isolated incident might not be a red flag, but cumulative flags are always worth examination. First off: Let’s talk about money.

Disclaimer: We do not give out actual crowns.

You could doomscroll, it's true. OR you could go read this cute, fun, sexy (and complete!) webcomic! I loved it! Remember, joy and art are acts of resistance and also you deserve a lil' treat.

Ice sucks! Help me raise money for good things. 1. Donate to an immigrant rights org like www.ilcm.org 2. Send me a picture of the receipt. Every $5 is an entry. I knit these mittens and I will draw a name on 1/17/26 and send these to the winner. We’ve already raised $165! Can we make it to $300?

Here's a tip: sit down, listen to what pts say, pay attention to nonverbal cues, ask more questions, BELIEVE THEM when they say something is wrong. Then DOUBLE this effort for non-white pts, TRIPLE it for Black pts. These pts are at far higher risk of their concerns being dismissed or "overlooked"
