Reworking a pitch and I think I...actually made it...better?? Always good to know my brain still works 'cos somedays I swear the sleep deprivation is taking its toll. 😮‍💨

Happy Valentines 🫣💖

Awesome news! Cry Out Loud was named a YALSA quick pick for reluctant readers! So honored to be supported by librarians all over! @yalsa.bsky.social 💖

Yikes. Never used Frida Baby products or their postpartum stuff ‘cos I always thought it was wildly overpriced but HOLY shit this is fucking weird. 😖

Making "AI caricatures" is trending again, so I though I'd share the trick I used to make my profile pic. I just followed these two simple steps: 1. I identified an artist whose style I wanted to replicate. 2. I *PAID THE ARTIST* to actually draw a portrait. (1/X)

Just in case you missed it, Hourly Comics Day was yesterday, go have a gander.✨

It’s Hourly Comics Day! My favorite comics holiday! ✨ #hourlycomicday #hourlycomicsday

Gonna finish out the night! Happy Hourly Comics Day everyone! ✨ #houlycomicday

More Hourly Comics! Date night!✨ I had to do this on a different day and take notes because otherwise I would just be drawing me drawing the whole day and after 16 years of doing this, it seems like the best option 😮‍💨 #hourlycomicsday #hourlycomicday

Hourly Comics Day continues! 👀💖 #hourlycomicsday #hourlycomicday

More Hourly Comics! #hourlycomicsday #hourlycomicday

“But tools are expensive!” You can doodle with anything! Trust me. Once I used a burnt match! (Though def let it cool first!) 👀

Hourly Comics Day is TOMORROW y’all, get ready! 😮‍💨👊

AI folks pretending they’re being oppressed ‘cos they don’t want to learn how to draw is wildly entitled. There’s loads of skills I’d love to learn but don’t have the time or I’m not able to do them. Does it suck? Sure. But it’s not “gatekeeping” and I have no right to those skills!

Just signed a thing! A lovely end to a Friday for sure ✨

To coincide with some news incoming (plus I haven’t changed it in like 5 years…) here’s a new profile pic! 💖

Just a reminder that Hourly Comics Day has been moved to the 8th! Mark your calendars! ✨

Sketches from the archives! Harley Quinn featuring…Bike Shorts? #comicart

I’m on Upscrolled for folks leaving Instagram and TikTok. Not sure if it’s any good yet but sure, I’d love a viable alternative to meta.

#iceoutcomics #iceout

I’ve been participating since 2009 so I’ll certainly be drawing on the 8th! ✨

FUCK ICE. FUCK MAGA. FUCK TRUMP.

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED! It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st! hourlycomicsday.com #hourlycomicsday #hourlycomicday #hcd

FUCK ICE. FUCK MAGA. FUCK TRUMP.

How about “get the fuck out my city you undertrained, evil federally-funded-fucking terrorists.” How about using YOUR police force to force them out? Hm?? Fucking hell.

I can’t go to the grocery store alone right now because ICE is racially profiling and abducting people who aren’t white

In case anyone else is getting slammed—most likely an AI fault since gmail started getting heavy on pushing that gemini nonsense.

People shipping Lucy with Cooper when Maximus is RIGHT THERE. 😤

The girl loves Snoopy—entirely possibly ‘cos his nose looks like a boob…

So now that everyone in the house is better my body’s like “ok you’re allowed to get sick now!” 🫠 Happy Fridayyyy.

Seeing folks hung up on American Patriotism™ over *actual* human beings that have been consistently harmed over the course of American history is depressing as fuck. Acknowledging these atrocities doesn’t mean you hate America, but trying to cover them up or sugarcoat them is fucking propaganda!

Our health visitor asking whether or not we’re going to be bringing her to baby classes for socialisation after she just told me that anti-vaxx moms are in the rise in our area?

Well, it’s been 9 months and she’s got her first fever. 😭 I think she’s handling it better than I am.

Oh hey did y’all know that CRY OUT LOUD is a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection?✨

Cry Out Loud has been shortlisted for a Leeds Book Award alongside these other lovely books! 💚 Very humbled and grateful to be included!

War is peace, you see. #politics

Also worth noting that (hopefully) no one will ever shame you for, you know, NOT wanting to get kicked in the nuts—or tell you “sure it hurts but you’ll forget the pain and get it done AGAIN (and again!)” 😅

I always see some dudes respond re: childbirth pain/contractions with “well have you ever been kicked in the nuts?” And yeah, ok that’s probably a close comparison—but only if you add the fact that you’re getting kicked several times a minute for anywhere from an hour to two days or more. 😅
