I ended up deciding not to exhibit at Flamecon anymore because there's so few comic artists there so it didn't seem like the right show for me. Which is fine -- not every show needs to be for me. But personally, I'd love to see a % of tables reserved for people making & selling comics!

The saga of the siblinghood of the travelling sash comes to a close!! It's on its way home to @isabellarotman.bsky.social, without whom Abortion Pill Zine wouldn't have happened. I'm lucky to have Izzy and @marniegalloway.bsky.social as co-authors and even luckier to call them my pals!

Sage, dressed like distressed prom royalty with a cheap plastic crown and pink roses, looking into the distance with watery eyes. Their outfit pays homage to a drawing of Megg from Simon Hanselmann's Megahex series.

1/2 I have been with Silver Sprocket since 2017. I will likely have more to say about it when I have formulated my thoughts well, but for now: I have been in conversation with many sprocket artists (not all -- there's a lot of them) and the majority of us want sprocket to survive and succeed.

Spent the last week at the Directangle Press Artist Residency in the White Mountains and it was a dream. I got to learn how to print on a beautiful two color risograph machine. I'm officially hooked on RISO now! Prints will be available for sale soon! #directangleresidency #riso

Access to safe abortion is a human right! ABORTION PILL ZINE by @isabellarotman.bsky.social , @sagecoffey.bsky.social , and @marniegalloway.bsky.social explains one kind of abortion: use of pills misoprostol and mifepristone.

ABORTION INTERIOR ART. Text reads: ACCESS TO SAFE ABORTION IS A HUMAN RIGHT!

ABORTION INTERIOR ART. Text reads: This book is written by three authors who believe that any reason to terminate a pregnancy is a valid reason to terminate a pregnancy. MARNIE: I have always been pro-choice, but pregnancy and parenthood radicalized me. The physical, emotional, financial, and logistical challenges of a pregnancy and parenthood are heavy to carry even when having a family is a deeply desired outcome. Forced pregnancy is cruel, unjust, violation of our human rights. Marnie: Access to safe abortion saves lives. According to the world health organization. "Unsafe abortion is a leading- but preventable- cause of maternal deaths and morbidities. It can lead to physical and mental health complications and social and financial burdens for women, communities, and health systems"

I think another annoying but less frequently discussed aspect of book bannings is the undue administrative burden it’s meant to create. It’s supposed to make being a teacher or a librarian feel like more trouble than it’s worth. It’s in line with how often teaching salaries are barely livable.
