I'm nervous to introduce this skirt concept bc it's special and so different from anything else I've done. Before I moved back to MN, my mom gifted me a few of her paintings to hang in my new home. I get to look at these beautiful pieces every day, and this one is my favorite. #store

Collage showing Maya modeling a work-in-progress mock-up of a colorful abstract midi skirt inspired by an original painting by her mom. The skirt features bold, overlapping shapes in green, blue, red, pink, yellow, brown, black, and cream. Beside Maya are close-ups of the work-in-progress pattern and the original abstract painting. Text notes that the mock-up may differ from the final product.

Hey, it’s Worst Man day in the UK! I’ve been yelling about this book for a good long while, but I’d be willing to bet it’s still news to some of you. If that’s you, please consider taking a few minutes to read the prologue below, and if you like it, it’s available from your local book shop!

out it goes: my long post about Rachel Hope Cleves's claim that Tillie Walden plagiarised her book. It's long because Cleves's claim is much, much more bizarre than it looked on first reading. I'm not going to bury the lede here. Cleves's claim does not hold up. buttondown.com/thene/archiv...

stick a pin in this metaphor

…because these covers are a microcosm of the entire conflict; Walden's book is mostly built on writing and other objects left by Sylvia Drake, Charity Bryant, and others. Her work includes many elements from these records that Cleves does not refer to in her book, and many of her interpretations of those records are different from Cleves's interpretations, often intentionally so. In addition to her historical basis, Walden's book includes fictional dialogue and story elements that are original to her work, some of which are inspired by Walden's own life.

Black and white illustration. The two main characters of Immortal Game face each other over a chess board. One is a human, one is a fae princess. They are sitting in a ruin covered in vines.

Hey bsky! If you didn’t know already, we’re making a romcom! A heated, queer romcom set at a wedding! If you like romance, comedy, heists, hating billionaires or ridiculous farces, you should check out #WorstManOGN! Written/drawn by us, logo and lettering by the incredible @gofrankgo.bsky.social!

The cover to Worst Man. A handsome, skinny white guy with red hair, wearing a red suit, black shirt and orange tie is front and centre, toasting the camera. He's clearly been caught by a burly guy with olive skin and black curly hair, who's wearing a purple suit jacket, white shirt and purple tie. The burly guy is sat in a gigantic wedding cake, with the implication being he fell backwards into it catching the skinny guy. As a result the cake is collapsing around them, but the skinny guy's foot is holding up the cake topper, which is cartoony representations of a bride and groom.

A comic page of 8 panels.

PANEL 1: a photograph of a group of people disembarking a fancy boat onto a jetty.

GUY (CAPTION): I was contracted to work this wedding, which let me tell you is stressful at short notice.

INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): Contracted?

INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): Who the hell contracted you?

INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): What is it you even do?!

PANEL 2:

A cut-out panel of the guy one arm draped over the back of his chair, the other hand gesturing. He’s grinning charmingly.

GUY: I’m the Worst Man.

INTERROGATOR (OFF PANEL): …the what?

INTERROGATOR (OFF PANEL): And how did you get free?

PANEL 3:

The guy is flashing a grin and showing his hands in a shrug.

GUY: Oh, come on, I talk with my hands.

PANEL 4:

The guy is holding his hand in a “so-so” gesture.

GUY: Ok, so.

GUY: Sometimes there’s a couple that are settling, right?

PANEL 5:

The guy is pulling a “yikes” expression.

GUY: They’ve convinced they’re happy, they’re forever happy.

PANEL 6:

The guy is looking serious.

GUY: A friend or family member knows they aren’t, but doesn’t want the social fallout of pointing it out.

PANEL 7:

The guy is lazily gesturing to himself.

GUY: So they hire me to reveal the truth in a more subtle way, before they get married.

PANEL 8:

The guy is looking up.

INTERROGATOR (OFF PANEL): So why are you involved here?

GUY: In this case, the story goes back a while.

A comic page with 4 panels.

PANEL 1:

A sprawled dossier showing research on a couple; a cis woman and a trans woman.

GUY (CAPTION): Several years ago I was contracted to work on Galatea Telford and Merritt McElligott—

INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): That’s the bride’s sister, not the bride.

GUY (CAPTION): Uh, yeah. What’s your point?

INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): So she’s not who I’m asking about.

GUY (CAPTION): Patience. This is background.

PANEL 2:

A shot of the guy talking to Merritt and Galatea around a school teacher’s desk, planning some sort of schedule.

GUY (CAPTION): So I got a temp job at the school where Merritt and Galatea work.

PANEL 3:

A shot of the three of them in a bar, with some other people. All of them are laughing except the guy, who’s a little more detached.

GUY (CAPTION): Even met some of their friends.

PANEL 4:

A shot of Merritt and Galatea back at the teacher’s desk, flirting. The guy is looking in through the door, a small, sad smile.

GUY (CAPTION): But what I was coming to learn was—

INTERROGATOR (CAPTION): Enough. I’m dying of old age here.

SLEEPING WIZARDS: Come for the fun dungeon-crawl story and vibrant artwork, stay for the gorgeous lettering, then stay even longer for Sir Vance catching strays from the narrator again 🚨👇 Only 4 DAYS LEFT to back!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro...

Comic page from sleeping wizards showing the gallantry of eliza’s father defeating dream creatures in the sleeping wizards shrine.

Narration:

After much discussion, debating and tantrum throwing by one council member in particular (looking at you Sir Vance), it was decided to send a party in each year to "clean out" the shrines.

Each spring a new team of sweepers would be sent into the shrine, some would return, and some would not.

Those that returned, often did so with riches, stories and a severe case of PTSD that kept them out of the shrines for the rest of their lives--

That is except for the famed explorer--Cochran, who made many journeys into the shrine.

Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis. #iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics #iceoutofmpls

Just before Christmas, I got a puppy.
Her name is Minerva, and we call her *Minnie.

I'm still learning how to understand her.

Me: Do you need to go outside? Do you need to go outside, little baby? Do you need to do a poo?
Do you need to do a widdle piddle?

Minnie: Arf!

*I just call her "little baby" most of the time.

I'm also realizing I can't turn off the baby talk now.
Nobody tells you about that.

I got so lucky with my first puppy.
Her wonderful foster parents had her completely house-trained by the time we adopted her, so taking her outside for potty time has been pretty easy. I've got the puppy poopy routine pretty much down, now.

Me, putting on my coat: Let's see... I got the little poopy bags, puppy treats for bribes, jacket, scarf, phone… I think that's everything… Oh yes! And my passport.

I had been carrying around my passport for a while, but I knew it didn't matter. This is wrong. Nobody is required to carry around their papers.

I became a US citizen when I was seven. Since I was born in a refugee camp, I was stateless.
The US is the only nation where I've ever held citizenship. It's the only passport I've ever had, and it still felt important. Protective.

I would hold it in my pocket like a talisman, like it might ward off ghosts or something. But I realized I was holding onto it basically out of superstition.
ICE will pick up anybody.

I know that.

So I tucked my passport away.

And I largely avoid leaving my house.

I live a few blocks just South of George Floyd Square. I was in the neighborhood for that, too.
And all the neighbors came together to protect each other. We're already organized.
We'll do our best to get through this.

Me, to my dog: I hope I can take you for a walk someday soon. Won't that be nice, little baby?
