I've been published multiple times by Apex, so of course I'm eager to see them continue, but, honestly? I WANT TO SEE THE STRETCH GOALS HERE, particularly the STRANGE OCEANS: AN ANTHOLOGY OF DARK SEAFARING. So, fund away! (Apex is also offering a pretty cool T-shirt as one of the backer rewards.)

My eyes are glowing through my glasses and there's a little speech bubble with an apple because I will share apple lore and variety recommendations.

I refuse to settle for the outdated, unsustainable, and often predatory practices found in a very large percentage of traditional publishing. I kept being told "that's just how it is." Or worse, "that's how things have to be to function." So I became a publisher to try a better model.

i am so beyond thrilled to launch my new webcomic: PRAYERS TO THE FUTURE! it's a muslim-themed post-apocalyptic adventure about coming together to breathe life into a struggling world. the first update is now live at prayerstothefuture.com - the comic is free to read + updates every monday. ENJOY 🧿

an illustration for the launch of my (iasmin omar ata) new webcomic PRAYERS TO THE FUTURE. the main character, irfan, poses with an obsidian sword. the rest of the comics cast (a mystery for now!) is depicted in various shapes behind her. the title of the comic is written outside of a circle behind irfan, with "by iasmin omar ata" written on the underside of the circle. within the circle, a post-apocalyptic desert is shown, with a tall obisidan obelisk at the center and a giant crystal floating atop it.

For every arrest that breaks through into public view, countless others happen quickly, before anyone can notice. Now ICE is anywhere and everywhere, embedded in all corners of everyday life.

Gone are the mass raids and militarized metro operations. Gone are the pomp and pageantry. But ICE arrests have hit record levels. ICE operations are no longer concentrated in large American cities. Immigration enforcement officials are also working in suburban and rural areas, all across the US.

Oooh thank you for this treasure trove of soups!! Here's a cat cooking a dill pickle soup:

An illustrated recipe for dill pickle soup, featuring my character Soup Cat, who is a black cat in a babushka scarf (she's green here, because it was a 2 color riso print). The text says:
DILL PICKLE SOUP ("use brine pickles" next to the image of Soup Cat withh a big jar of pickles)
- 5 cups of water or broth
- 1 carrot + 1 onion
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 3-4 big pickles + 1 cup of pickle brine
- 2 medium potatoes
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- dill

image 1: cat is chopping a carrot holding the knife in her mouth: "chop the veggies"
image 2: cat is stirring the pot with a wooden spoon: "saute onion+carrot in butter"
image 3: cat is pouring a jug of liquid into the pot: "add hot water/broth"
image 4: cat is grating a pickle on a grater that is half her size, she's working very hard: "grate the pickles (or chop them)"
image 5: cat's paws are throwing diced potatoes and grated pickles into the pot: "add potatoes and when they're cooked add pickles +brine +sour cream +salt to taste"
image 6: cat is lapping on a bowl of soup, looking pleased: "serve sprinkled with fresh dill"
"ENJOY"
