Murderous eugenicist.

Always cool to see the little parts of comic making that don't get much recognition but are important (speech bubbles designers? How cool!!) and of course I always love to see an @airy.bsky.social name drop!!!✨

you consider the few things that have pushed these guys into action, and the many things that haven't, and increasingly coming to the conclusion that no matter what the issue you care about is, you need to jam up airports

In 2013, I made an essay for XOJane about being sexually harassed on a panel of my colleagues. I anonymized the harrasser, but he outed himself a couple days later, issuing a public non-apology ("Sorry you didn't get my sense of humor"), which led to his fans barraging me with hate + death threats.

Jesus wept. I just called my US rep and senators and told them they have to do everything they can to stop this genocide. I told them I don't care if they're in the minority. They have options. I told them to chain themselves to the White House fence. Please call your reps, too. reps.fyi

I was so honored that @bonedustpress.bsky.social asked me to do the interior illustrations for THIS MORTAL COIL. @artwins.bsky.social and @mythjae.bsky.social continue to kill it, and ya'll are gonna go ham over this. Truly special stuff.

Called my rep and said "I am concerned about the President's posts about committing genocide and would like my reps to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him from office" and the guy was like "okay I'll pass that along, is there anything else" and I was like no that's pretty much it

Love opening for this book. I can't wait to read the rest and see @soengery.bsky.social's illustrations!

So clever and cute to have the main characters as paper miniatures for a novella pre-order. If I were in the states, I'd snap this right up.
