still juggling far too many things, so how about a little list of things bringing me joy: • thumbnails from @matthtaylor.com in my inbox • a cute photo of @aspenhearted.bsky.social 's cat • one of the comics my team collaborated on released • we may finally be able to have a dog in this apartment

Hello! some news: I'm writing & drawing a comic chapter book series for young readers! it's published by First Second, a long-running comics imprint for kids at Macmillan. Thanks to Robyn Chapman, editor, & Susan Hawk, agent, & YOU, friends who see my sketches. rachelelliott.me/2025/09/26/i...

Been drawing lots in the last week, mostly drawing based on thumbs, but I wanted to do some inking tests of the main characters so here’s a peek at some pencils. #art

That quote about the trans woman being a “threat” by being friends with Knicks players legitimately shook me.

good meow-rning

If you define transness as retaliatory violence, there is an implicit statement there that transness is not a sense of self, an identity, but a thing you do to lash out at those around you. Which if it is PRIMARILY that, i hope you find peace with who you are

“Well I’m not gonna talk about it but know other black people think you’re wrong” is a trip I am a trans non binary black person, i never said violence is inherently bad.

Violent resistance and violent existence are two separate things. You are implying that the existence itself is an act of violence, this is not true in both the cases of people of colour and transgender people.

The conservative push to define existence as violence is a means of control and justification to enact more violence. It's propaganda. Building an argument off of genocidal propaganda is self defeating.

In a world without oppressors existence would not require violence, from that we can surmise that the violence is inherently because of the oppression and not the existence.

doesn't find transness worth litigating as a definition, but 1. does so in the first comment 2. finds it worthwhile to define transness as violence sorry that the rest of us aren't risking ourselves enough for you

THERE WAS A WHOLE ASS WAR ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE OWNING THEIR BODIES AND THE FIGHT ABOUT THAT STILL ISN'T DONE LMAOOOO

It’s really funny that these brown ICE agents think that they’re on the team

As a black queer, i would say that “the right considers this violent” is very different from “it is violent” Racists and transphobes constantly position my existence as violent; your logic here implies that by being black and queer i am engaging in violence. That’s simply not true

😈

HEY IM in this too

It looks like Dinosaur Field Station of NJ is closing and selling their Dino sculptures

Been doing lots of digital inking exercises to figure out how I was to ink certain things (mostly hair) for this webcomic. Here’s a look at a bunch of tries! Some are definitely much better than others. Shout out to @salylockheart.bsky.social for the feedback!

Another Xenaria wip. I may go all out with lines on this since I know I'm not gonna bother to color it. #art #wip

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

the people who want fiction to be manuals teaching you what to think or feel about politics/life aren't artists. you're thinking of propagandists.
