God, I found old art of my high school OCs (as in the OCs I drew in HS, 20+ years ago) dressed as RHPS characters. Tim Curry was a truly unparalleled formative influence. My little baby brain immediately latched onto that movie and just about anything else I caught him in.

l'Il be at GalaxyCon San Jose all this weekend, selling my wares at Table H12. If you're in the San Jose area, stop by and say hi! I've even attempted to do a proper catalog of my work like a real, professional artist or something. Wow!

“Palaceofposey Table H12” over a map of the interior of the San Jose Convention exhibit floor.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

This is absolutely heartbreaking. I was just telling my Visual Storytelling students about her work not even 2 weeks ago! — how important it is (especially in this day and age), the simple yet effective way she did her lineart, and why Persepolis is a sequential work of art. RIP Marjane Satrapi
lemonde.fr
Marjane Satrapi, author of 'Persepolis,' dies at 56
The French-Iranian artist and film director 'died of sadness a little over a year after the death of Mattias Ripa, her husband and the love of her life,' people close to her said.

Today in class a kid asked me about my Miku sticker on my folder, and I was very confused (as I do not have anything Miku-related). Then I flipped over the folder and realized they were asking about Sailor Moon. 💀 …Anyway, Happy belated 34th birthday to my favorite 90s girl!

She’s sitting on the ground cross leg with black platform shoes. She also has a Tamagotchi in the shape of a heart with wings clipped to her pocket.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

EACH WEEK, I GO INTO DIFFERENT CLASSROOMS, AND WITH AN ASSORTMENT OF FUN PROMPTS, GUIDE YOUNG WRITERS TO CRAFT THEIR STORIES, POEMS, AND COMICS.

IT CAN BE CHALLENGING
SOMETIMES, BUT IT'S IMMENSELY REWARDING SEEING THEIR IDEAS COME TO LIFE..AND SINCE I'M

... AND ACTIVE SHOOTER DRILLS.

Things continue. #iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics #iceoutofmpls
In a lot of ways, I'm really lucky. I work from home. I write and draw books.
I still experience a lot of the same normal creative issues. I'm burned out.
My current project frustrates me.

But a few things in my routine have changed.

Me: Hey, mom. Are the cousins okay? How's grandma? And your sisters?

Me: Oh, good.
Yeah. Okay, that's good.
I'll call you later.

Watching Bob's Burgers on repeat while I work.
My friends check in from time to time.

Text: I got rubber-bulleted by ICE just on my way back from work. Ouch.

Text: Hey I'm gonna observe tomorrow at the protest. I'll text every hour, and if you don't hear from me, please call [number] and give them my identifying information. I'd probably be at the Whipple. Okay?

Text: They knocked on my door, but I'm okay.
I demanded a signed judicial warrant, and they couldn’t provide one, so they left. 

I’m worried all the time. Very little in the news feels encouraging.

Headline: Mayor Kaohly Her says she was told to carry a passport amid ICE operations in Minnesota

St. Paul Mayor elect Kaobly Her says her office received reports of federal agents going door-to-door asking where the Asian people are. KARE11 January 16, 2026
And it makes me feel utterly untethered from reality when I have to live like this and just get back to work and draw my stupid little cartoons.
Nothing else feels real or important right now.

But my neighbors are doing such a great job staying engaged and finding needs to meet.

Text: I'm running to Costco and picking up some canned goods to run to the food shelf. Let me know if you want to donate anything.

Text: I'll throw in for some canned goods!

Text: Me too!

Text from me: What's your Venmo? I can contribute.

"Oh, jeez."A van with tinted windows pulls into the parking lot of the strip mall, with a few cars on its tail.This intersection's full of potential targets, even with all the locked foors and closures.

Cafe, restaurant (closed), grocery store, school (went virtual this week).

This isn't a crisis that ends at 60th Street.But the observers show up here, too.

To my knowledge, the van drives off after five minutes without taking anyone.

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?
