My geriatric iPad’s refusal to work beyond a dozen of layers is frustrating the hell out of me. Stop freezing! You can do this! Please don’t die on me.

So funny that the dream job of nerds who like to doodle requires you to be athletic so you don’t live with chronic pain.

After 30 minutes of awfulness, a pretty good cat has been achieved.

Experienced the one situation in which being called "ma belle" ("my pretty") doesn't make me want to punch the person who uttered these words in the throat: Buying cheese at the corner shop after my day job at 9pm, and the person in question is a 60-y-o woman with pure auntie vibes, 0% creepy.

Truly wild to have lived through moral panics about teenagers wearing hoodies and Muslim women wearing the head dress to now experience 'but is a large group of organised far right activists in balaclavas really that scary'

We woke up thinking about the long shadow of all the workers’ wins and even their losses. We made it free to watch the short documentary that dominated my life this year. Happy Labor Day. vimeo.com/1224659811/7...

Power to the People, Y'all [Happy Labor Day]

Power to the People, Y’all is a character-driven documentary that explores aging, legacy, and resistance through interviews with five founding members of the Winston-Salem Chapter of the Black Panther...

Steinem's 'If men could menstruate' is such a powerful and fun text - it should be mandatory reading for teenagers.

The Secret 7" auction is now over so I can finally share the record sleeve I drew for The Last Dinner Party's "Let's do it again!":

7" record sleeve illustrated with a photo of a white lesbian couple looking very happy, torn and put back together with tape. The photo is surrounded by jewellery, die, and other small objects

Finally read Miki Berenyi's memoir, Fingers Crossed. It is so compelling and well written that I finished it in two days. Highly recommend it, whether or not you're a fan of Lush. Great book. I went all digital for this one, as my scanner has sadly died and would cost twice my rent to replace:

My least favourite thing about being poor is that drawing with €7 brushes is ten times harder than with €20 ones.

A gentle reminder to move your bones

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

One thing I don’t think men understand is that rape and assault are so ubiquitous—and so perpetually immune from consequence or recognition—that many women learn to talk about these incidents as of they’re mere inconveniences. We are not allowed to treat them with more gravity.

Happy Gone Girl Day! Leave your mediocre husband, go on a road trip, write a novel, off a stalker… Whatever makes you happy!

Her left arm has a bandage with a spot of blood on it. The background shows an open diary, a to-do list, pens evoking marriage and pregnancy, and a bunch of envelopes marked “clue” flying away

The New Yorker puzzles have been giving me more praise in one week than I got from my mother in almost four decades.

Cannot wait for this heatwave to be over because this right here is the most excited and happy I've been all week. Yesterday I downloaded the NYT Games app. This has to stop.

The amount of human suffering, injury, and illness that has been avoided by the advent of hormonal contraception is staggering; the amount of human potential, talent, and innovation that it has unleashed should make you weep with gratitude.

Wacom recently asked me to talk about why I make queer comics, and given there are multiple bills right now floating around in congress that are effectively "we will kill your livelihood if we get a sniff of queer" I had some pretty strong, simply feelings to relay.

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!
