A five panel comic featuring two ice cream cones. The one on the right says “how are you?” And the one on the left says “oh, well, uh…, I’m okay, I guess?” While melting slightly as the panels progress. By panel 5 they are a puddle filled with ants, while they ask the ice cream on the right: “how are you?” The ice cream on the right says “good thanks!” And has not melted at all.

I made a spooky #zine about my chronically ill body! Thanks to @crucialcomix.bsky.social and the chronic illness comics club. Open to trades! #hallozine #chronicillness #disability #ehlersdanlos #heds kelleyclink.com/shop-1

A stack of zines fanned out. The cover reads “Fearfully Made: a chillingly incomplete tour of my chronically ill body, by Kelley Clink.” There are silhouette drawings of bats and rats.

I did a thing I was proud of, so I made a little #comic to celebrate. Then I wrote a whole essay about celebration. TLDR: if you don’t do it, the fascists win. open.substack.com/pub/kelleycl...

A line drawing of a small frog saying “Hey.”

Same small frog, now joined by slightly larger frog, saying “You did it.”

A giant toad has been drawn behind the two small frogs, and they’re saying “Congrats.”

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

Every month I write a letter to @margaretatwood.bsky.social. This month it’s about #sunflowers, existential dread, and refusing to give up. #hope #writing #polaroid #instantfilm #instantphotography #collage open.substack.com/pub/kelleycl...

A collage on a failed Polaroid. A large yellow sunflower takes up most of the frame. In the top left corner is the black silhouette of a sunflower, partially covering the yellow one. You can see sky and trees in the areas not covered by the flowers

A close up Polaroid of my garden. A group of orange wall flowers in the front left corner, lots of white beardtongue, and the rest filled in with prairie grasses and flowers yet to bloom.

Don't let a motherfucker steal your joy. Watch cartoons, build LEGO kits, get your friends together and play board games, coo at your pets and call them your precious stinky babies, blow off dandelion fluff, whatever sparks joy. Cringe is dead, be free.
