I went non contact with her about 12/13 yrs ago. Did have 1 meeting with her almost a yr ago, she guilt tripped me through the Cub into meeting her, and she still insisted on either Chris or Christina 🫩 Though honestly, being persistently misnamed by her is the least of our relationship issues 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's always a bonus when the strange noises you hear turn out to be real and not just in your head. At least until the thing making them tries to eat you.

Nobody gets to use any abbreviation of my name other than Stina. No Chris, Chrissie, Christy, and absolutely 100% NO Tina. A fight that was still ongoing with my mother at the point I went no contact. So only 35 yrs of trying to get her to respect my name choice 🫩

Tomorrow marks one year since the sham of a ceasefire agreement in Gaza was signed. Sold as a way to halt the Israeli military’s endless killing, the results of this “ceasefire” have been the Israeli military killing or wounding at least one Palestinian every 90 minutes.

Pen and watercolor 

Cowboys again. This time one of our boys has lost his boots. Standing in a field of long grass the cowboy points towards the ground and shouts back to his colleague, “Lil bone people got muh boots.” This makes no sense to the other cowboy who sits atop his horse away from the action. He responds, “Lil wut?” Sure enough in the foreground we see a squad of little bone people scampering through the grass with the stolen cowboy boots. They’re thrilled. How the bone people got the boots off the cowboy is unclear.

Artist’s note: I tend to draw drawings from the same perspective (straight on) most of the time. This idea came about when I was goofin around trying to draw a character from a lower angle. I like that the story unfolds with the foreground, mid-ground, and background all working together. There’s a draft of this one included in the Spooky Pants book. Coming out next week!

Since it’s #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, here’s an article about The Bread Exam, which uses bread dough to show women the correct technique to properly self-check their breasts and detect early signs of breast, while avoiding cultural taboos 🎀 www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/article/the-...

This super inclusive campaign shows women how to check their breasts for cancer (and tackles cultural taboos around intimate body parts)

"lying to americans" is a fine tourist tradition shared by both the irish and the people of edinburgh. telling americans in the pub that haggis are only not in edinburgh because we ate them all and put them in perth, and telling americans that leprechauns were all eaten in the famine, are the same
