my parent may be losing her job and I don’t make enough to sustain the both of us, the cat, and rent/bills. I’m chipping away at my massive cc debt from over a year of job hunting due to layoffs, wrapping up some comic deadlines but best way to support is via shop! michiums.bigcartel.com

Happy World Book Day! Support your local bookshop, support your local library, support your favourite writers and in the words of Werner Herzog "read read read read read read read read read read read read read read read read read read read read read read read read read read read read read read read"

drop it. leave the man. what you need is a weird ginger gremlin so thoroughly obsessed with you they will never let you know peace again, a creative hobby, and good sourdough recipe.

my most common self criticism when writing, especially after reading really good prose, is God i am not smart enough to be doing this. but you can't listen to that. you have to keep writing your dumbass little story. you have to

I almost withdrew my #Libraro entry because it felt too vulnerable, but reading all the amazing comments people have been leaving on my chapters has been a surreal experience 🧡

not sure why it's so scary to have your opening chapters out there for anyone to read, but I've entered my LGBTQ+ novel into the #LibraroPrize if you'd like to check it out ❤️ #writingcommunity #writesky #booksky app.libraro.com/manuscript/d...

Art is resistance. Keep making it! ✨

Art by María Laura Bratoz

let humans tell stories and make art however they want. creativity is a primal energy. excessive structuring and editing with the intent to make the work conform to industry standards is a form of censorship.

I wonder if I’ll ever stop being angry all of the time.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power
