You know when you hate yourself and you just want to give everything up because you’re doing things different and you feel like you shouldn’t be able to? Because nothing makes you special or better than the next person who’s doing things the way everyone else does and that person is even better for it…

I feel like the last few weeks have been crazy – last week had so many stresses in it – and then they were gone, but the feeling stayed. Self Care requires a lot more listening to myself than I’m good at…doing. Today was a movies + drawing + getting dressed at 6:30 for coffee…

Five years ago, on my birthday, I left home. Obviously, there’s a lot of backstory to this, and, I guess, this is that story. I didn’t say goodbye – I couldn’t say goodbye. I was terrified that if I did, if I told them I was leaving, that they would shut me in my room,…

I feel like writing something, but I don’t know what I need to say, also I had the awesomest birthday yesterday (when it was actually my birthday) so, I’m showing off the awesome.

It’s funny and probably in no way coincidental that I was talking about art last night  – and how powerful it is – with a couple friends. It’s been a while since I really thought about the subject, I’m more of a “just leave me alone and let me make my own shit” kind of…

I’m doing a series of comics – I started on Monday and have posted every day so far except Tuesday – called Lies My Parents Told Me. It’s been enlightening and cathartic – in the spirit of Valentines Day, today’s comic is on purity and virginity and the damage that goes with those ideas. Funny…

Alright, you have my attention. Anyone who can wield a soldering iron like that is worth some attention. […] — youtube commenter (comment since removed by author – creepy part, also removed…by me) I was denied physics because I was born female. I had been taught all my life leading up to that point that…

I’m switching servers this weekend, so, that’s why the site is all weird and some of the links are more than likely broke. My initial plan of staying up all night doing it is failing due to falling asleep at my keyboard, so, if you find stray code and broken links and things, I’m fixing…

I actually didn’t plan on writing anything about the Ham on Nye debate Tuesday night, I planned on drinking and eating popcorn and watching  everything implode in a talk-past-eachother kind of way. My mouth hurt, (still does, I have even better numbing stuff now, but it makes my lips stick together :P), we ended up…
