I think it's possible to both celebrate what we're able to accomplish despite chronic physical and/or mental illness while at the same time mourning all that we didn't accomplish because of chronic physical and/or mental illness. Two things can be true at once. Love the struggler not the struggle. 💜

Night in the Woods (Multiplatform, 2017)

Gonna take some hours offline. Have to vacuum, take a shower, and there's a new Magica Riot project that's entering revisions. Your support of my writing is my income, so I appreciate you all. If you've ever wanted a trans-centric extremely gay leftist magical girl universe, I have it for you.

Last day of Black History Month 👀

Ginkgo is feeling a lot better today and has been receptive to treatment 🙏 (the vet tech swaddled her post-bath lol)

I am opening up commissions for the sake of fundraising for The Trans Continental Pipeline (tcpipeline.org) and/or Kansas' ACLU (action.aclu.org/give/support...). Below are examples of my work, general prices, and all you have to do is email me [email protected] donation receipt!

Wonderful baby angel girl

We just lost Toffee back the day after Christmas, and now it seems like we will be having to say goodbye to Ginkgo soon as well. I have a million pictures cause I take one every time she naps because she is so photogenic

The cat we brought to the ER about a week ago got sick again, so back to the vet we go. It's cancer. It hasn't even been two months since our last cat died from cancer. I'm still grieving her. I can't believe we're going through this again so soon. My babies. 💔

reminder that people in positions of privilege often mistake discomfort with facing the reality of oppression of others as oppression or an attack and if you are a white queer person you are still a WHITE queer person and you are still susceptible to seeing your discomfort as an attack.

Keychain commission for @magicariot.com ! Claire transformed as Riot Purple, and Claire transformed as "Claire in a cute dress ready for a date"!

The sweet precious baby angel in question:

The cat is going to be okay and that makes today a major win.

Me whenever I've caught up on every post on my Bluesky timeline: "I've finished the Internet."

I'm glad we celebrated vday yesterday because today is pheww— woof. Poor sleep, Plans cancelled, Cat in er, More debt, I have a cold now, Waiting– I hope the news isn't serious. I have my wife with me tho. My blessing and my saving grace. Love matters most.

On my phone sitting in the waiting room at the pet ER for my cat's digestive troubles, and there's this other person waiting just as long who hasn't distracted himself with a single thing. No phone. No magazine. Nothing. For hours. I wonder what he's thinking about.

Took mine to see Iron Lung for early vday and everyone else had the same early vday idea because every restaurant we drove by was over capacity. Driving thru the cities at night is so pretty.

Trying to write a new project, but you haven't named any of your characters, the horror:

And here are our unlikely sisters together! Bloom in her new body, and Iris back in control of hers! #MagicaRiotFullBloomSpoilers

Hi everyone! I'm opening up custom character keychain commissions! I'll put all the details in a thread below ⬇️ If you're interested, please reach out to me at amberandmossy(at)gmail.com! 🔁Reposts very appreciated!

Ferbruary #oldknees

circling back around to this because I really can't get over how cute and good my girls are and how much I love seeing folks do art of them 🥹

So! #MagicaRiotFullBloomSpoilers! For those of you who have read Full Bloom, you'll know some big things happen to a certain girl by the end of the book! We haven't had an official look at her afterward, though…until now! Here's Bloom's new robot body look, designed by @ambisweetiepie.bsky.social

Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️

Never, and I mean NEVER, shut the fuck up about your creations, your characters, the things you made up with your very own human grown brain juices for all to hear and look at

Comic adaptation of a scene from The Witch's Prince of ML Syre leaving MC Wren behind to go on an important mission. The whole novel is basically this dynamic. #comics #boylove #queerbooks

Emerging from the ashes of grief like a decrepit phoenix, but here I am.

Christmas gift for @mosserole.bsky.social!! Its Lumienne, the main character of her book The Candlelighter. Lumienne, I love Lumienne 💕 I hope someday you can all read the book, and appreciate the character (and as a result appreciate the subtle details in this picture) #ambart

As someone who intensely dislikes operations, I cannot fathom why I keep ending up with jobs involving operations. No, I do not enjoy coming in every Monday to put out 10 fires. And that one time I came back from vacation to find the building had literally been set on fire.

The voices that compel me. #comics

I'm very proud to be within the last generation to learn cursive, because when I'm able to read a Christmas letter written in nothing more than a loopy scrawl, I feel like a wizard.

It took the wife and I five hours to watch the new Knives Out because one of our favorite pastimes is to pause movies every so often and talk at length about our opinions. It's a miracle we found each other because we are insufferable. We really enjoyed the movie!

Today.

Some days I'm so eloquent and other days I feel like my brain is a rusty gear I'm trying to turn with an equally rusty crank.

Ginkgo's precious pigeon-toed way of sitting that gives my heart butterflies. 🦋

My favorite holiday tradition honestly.

Do I wear earrings because they make me feel stronger or do I put on earrings because I felt strong that day.

Let's be voids with mama.

Recently re-watched 2002 #Spider-man. #comics
