We hung out with Dave at the last worldcon, where he was up for a Hugo®. Incomprehensibly, he did not win, and this photo shows him the most depressed I've ever seen him

Today I think of Liam Ramos, age 5. Abducted by ICE on his way home from pre school, in a hat that I’m sure made him smile when he looked in the mirror. Held hostage by his backpack, too big for his frame. A little boy who probably just learned how to spell his name.

hi again, #PortfolioDay! i'm kaylee & i'm a comic artist / illustrator who loves ghosts. i'm currently working on my debut graphic novel & would love to do some quick illustration gigs this month to make rent! 🫀 kayleerowena.com 💌 kayleerowena@gmail.com 🔮 inprnt.com/gallery/kayleerowena

an illustration in shades of purple, red, pink, and black of various picture frames with ghosts in them - a woman with flowers growing out of her neck, another without a head and with floating eyeballs and nerves where a head should be, one with a red gash in the canvas, one holding a severed head on a plate.

an illustration in pinks and teals of two girls sitting on the floor playing with a ouija board. they're looking at each other in a lesbian sort of way. a ghostly hand joins theirs on the planchette. there's a large window behind them showing the moon outside

a two-page illustration spread i drew for jacob geller's book "how a game lives", showing a variety of haunted houses, brutalist architecture, doors, and veins. the different pictures are framed and hung on a wall, with wallpaper peeling to reveal mold and viscera beneath.

a comic page showing a demon woman wreathed in smoke and flame, clearly trying to intimidate the ghost she's talking to. in wavy black speech bubbles, she says "I am ancient, I am unbound, and I am unyielding. My name is Fel, human, and I am a demon." the ghost, a black woman in a 60s-style outfit, looks scared for a moment, then excited, saying "Oh my gosh, demons are real too? That's so cool! And it explains the horns! I was wondering about those, but it felt rude to ask." fel is burying her face in her hand in frustration by the last panel.
