thrilled to announce that my & Jordan Alsaqa's haunted romance graphic novel is officially coming your way in 2027! I can't wait for you all to meet our ghost and demon couple!
i was at a restaurant last week, watching the political ads on the TV between sports games. one from the trump campaign ended with the slogan “kamala is for they/them. trump is for you”. it was vilely clever - and it made a clear statement about who was the enemy, the other, the unwelcome, in trump’s great america. i thought about how the right had gone all-in on transphobia this election season, and i hoped it was a gamble that would cost them.
this week has been a gut punch, and i’ve been feeling a lot of things - rage, fear, grief, and subspecies of those emotions. what i kept coming back to, though, as i digested these feelings, were the people i love. my queer friends. the trans kids in my community. the people who, already, are losing their rights to bodily autonomy, state-by-state. the way that i’ve had to start looking at our country as a fucked up patchwork of safe and not-safe. the way that access to medical care, increasingly, changes depending on which side of an arbitrary border you’re on. i’m also realizing the ignorance and privilege it is to only think of our country this way, now. america has always been about picking and choosing who deserves rights, who we consider a person. but, despite the deep-seated flaws of this country, i live in it. so do so many people i love. and that’s what I keep coming back to: the people i love, and my desire to protect them. at the very center of all the rage and hurt and anxiety and sorrow i’m feeling, is a deep, perilous love. i am holding onto that love. i hope you are, too.
surprise! i turned this into a sticker!! a sticker which i will be selling and donating 100% of the profits from to Trans Continental Pipeline, a local mutual aid group that helps trans americans relocate to colorado (a relatively safe state) from less safe states. they've had a huge increase in aid requests since the election and offer a ton of incredible services to people relocating to the state, including moving grants and providing temporary accommodations, help with finding jobs, housing, mental and other health care, and a network of peers and community.
i'm offering a preorder on the stickers at the moment, to gauge how many i should buy. i will continue to sell (and donate the profits of) extra stickers after they're ordered, so this isn't your only chance to get them, but now is a great time to support a good cause and get a sticker (in 2-3 weeks time)! the best news is, the more stickers people order, the larger a percentage of the price we can donate to TCP.
[ID: The first image shows a drawing of a white, winged unicorn with a rainbow mane standing protectively over a younger white unicorn with a blue and pink mane, which is curled up and resting on the ground. Both have their eyes closed, and they are against a backdrop of plants and flowers. The second image shows the same drawing now on a circular canvas, with the text "Protect Trans Kids" added in rainbow letters over the unicorns. End ID.]

LOYALTY TO LOVE / SOLIDARITY BEYOND STATES, 2024
queer as in fuck genocide. queer as in fuck nationalism, borders, surveillance & repression. queer as in fuck the cycles of violence that fascists grow by scattering seeds of fear & anger in the bloody soil of collective trauma. queers know safety will never come from the state, only from each other.
