part of an essay i am writing

Some items I forgot to post here earlier in the year. I'd like to somehow manifest a job drawing items for games or something, that would be fun!

playing pokopia as intended: RPing being trapped and trying to dig my way out of a pyroclastic deposit

listen I actually strongly DO want to see high budget fantasy lesbians in the highlands. and have opinions about it

making a Large Drawing by putting together several small drawings

might put reviews of some things I'm reading in a thread, for anyone interested #trr26 #transrightsreadathon I think goodreads links won't work for people without accounts any more (TERRIBLE!!!) so, screenshots till I work out something better

ok I didn't realise I'd be getting a copy myself (I never even got some of the promo print art I drew for my OWN book lol) and they're SO nice in person

I basically never get to sign the fancy US hardback of I Shall Never Fall in Love, but there's now ONE up for grabs in the @trreadathon.bsky.social charity auction, which just went live www.32auctions.com/organization...

almost halfway through the book I'm working on!!! WIP drawing from the current chapter #art

Diary comics thread for hourly comics day ✏️ intro/9am #hourlycomicday #MEcfs #ChronicIllness

Can I ask you a favor? If you plan to buy this book eventually at some future date, can you try to grab it before the end of the month? It helps a lot because of Publishing Math

Let's kill "comics are a gateway to reading" dead please?

Something so delightful to me about seeing my repressed extremely-British characters translated into Italian #books

if YOU are doing Trans Rights Readathon (I am, more info next week) or simply looking to read more fun things with trans people in, here's a reminder my books exist and an excuse to shout out some books I really enjoyed. Thread ⤵️ #TransRightsReadathon #trr26

I've developed a rule for reading and writing #romance and #romantasy: the "hot people make bad romance" rule. If your romance wouldn't happen if the characters weren't physically attractive, I'm bored. The *dynamic* needs to be sexy, not the bodies.

hey. hey. this trans regency romance is A Banger, out next week, review (rant?) and more art pics here www.patreon.com/posts/commis...

this is so good, made me emotional

hi I'm available for work and would love to do more comics, comic covers, book covers or other illustration work✨💕

Don't allow yourself to stew in fear. Take action. And if you're trans, or have a trans family member - take care of yourself. Do what you can, then rest up and do things you enjoy. Fascists hate it when you live your good life to the full.

There are two things you can do right now to support young trans people in England. 1) Engage in political advocacy and community support. I've got *loads* of advice on this in my blog post and zine "But what can I do? How to fight the trans panic".

Early Spring 🌱

#TransRightsReadathon begins soon. It's a decentralized event, which means you don't have to sign up or do anything in particular, you just have to love trans people and trans books. Here's what I'm doing this year 🧵 @trreadathon.bsky.social

Script if you need it: I’m calling to tell Representative ____ to oppose H.R. 7661. This bill would pressure schools to remove titles that discuss lived experiences that some politicians find controversial. I don’t think trans people are controversial. (contin)

commission for Eve & Spire, based on their webcomic!

Nancy 3/4/26 💅

tips for a VINTAGE LOOK: try wearing old bullshit with holes in! And for an androgynous twist, try gifts from family members who don’t remember or understand that you’re trans 🌠

finished reading the nausicaä manga recently and unsurprisingly liked it a lot.. 4 color risograph print (cornflower, bright olive green, bright red, hunter green)

THERE ARE DOZENS OF US

Two butches dating each other might have been frowned on in lesbian life of the 1950s, but no one said anything about a friendly game of pool... 🎱 Prints available here: www.inprnt.com/gallery/drac... More of these two on Patreon: patreon.com/draculing

over halfway through ship inks. wet book update

Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: ‘your leaders aren’t right for you,’ ‘we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’

💿 👻 ✨ I’m thrilled to show off Barbara Ciardo’s glorious cover for Dead New World, my Queer scifi book about holographically resurrected ghosts working dead end jobs, falling in love and solving ghost crimes that’s available for preorder now! buff.ly/xWdY6xp

would you want to see a high-quality drawing of dream evolutions i drew for my friends in 20-30 seconds

Thank you to @authorsabb.bsky.social heroes @beccacoffindaffer.bsky.social and Ed Underhill, we have some slides that can be shared by anyone about this, with particular reps to target. Let's kill this bill in committee.

Currently inking a section of 24 consecutive difficult pages set on board a ship. How many 18thC ship disaster, patrick o'brian and/or dragon napoleonic wars audiobooks do we reckon I can get through before I’m done #art #atg

AT LAST...! I'm so happy to announce that crowdfund fulfillment is wrapped up, and The Vow is now available to order in print! Pick up a copy of the year's hottest T4T sexual rivalry horror fantasy, written by @arden.rip and drawn by yours truly! www.etsy.com/listing/1898...

drawing a 19thC ship is all fun and games (lie) until you have to draw someone using a fucking sextant. Like I'm doing it but I'm not happy about it

v honoured that I Shall Never Fall in Love was chosen as A Top Ten Title for teens for the American Library Association’s 2026 Rainbow List. A huge THANK YOU to the round table and to librarians everywhere who, despite rising challenges, help queer young people access the stories they deserve.

yes I did start the everlasting audiobook on the strength of this post and realise it was 2 of my favourite narrators. everyone keep yelling about books they like, thank you

the author + the first page + the cover #books

🌿 (drawings from I Shall Never Fall in Love) #art

Show me what you can do with just a pen 🖊️ #art I pretty much learnt to draw in biro or fineliner on my schoolwork, so most of my drawings from 10+ years ago are only in pen
