Ed Miliband today: "The era of fossil fuel security is over and the era of clean energy security must come of age....To ignore two crises in less than five years would be completely irresponsible… our action must now be faster deeper and more wide ranging.”
Beth worked as a doctor for years until a transphobe turned up. Now, she's had to leave her job, leave her home, move to the other side of the world and is still being hounded and harassed by the media and cult.
She did nothing but exist as trans in the orbit of Sandie Peggie.
Pretty cats in need of homes!

hot take
just learned that A Novel Idea, an indie bookstore in Guthrie, Oklahoma, has been targeted with vandalism and death threats by local chuds. Maybe consider showing them some love if you're looking to order books! anovelideabookshop.org?srsltid=AfmB...
While I book a few months out for custom cover work, there are a hundred premade covers in the shop! Affordable, free of AI, available as soon as you have a title. Single books as well as duologies and trilogies (and you can always book sequels). Various genres, and new covers added periodically!
Graphic with three drawings. Two are quick black and white sketches of cats, and the other is a more carefully done color drawing of a dog. The text says “Quick ‘n scrungly pet portrait - $25. Less scrungly - $50. DM me to enquire!”
I was bombarded by a series of unexpected expenses over the last couple of weeks, so I’ve decided to try something new and open up commissions! I love to draw quick pet portraits (especially cats, but I’m open to any kind of critter). LMK if you’re interested, and please share!

Made this during Peachtober 2024, I still really like the concept I came up with but would execute it way differently now - especially in terms of composition! Still cute tho :)

A four-panel comic featuring two black cats with big expressive eyes against a soft blue background. In the first panel, one cat asks, “Do you know the difference between liking and loving?” The other replies, “Yes.” In the second panel, the answer appears: “It’s the same thing but loving is stronger.” In the third panel, the first cat concludes, “So we should always choose love when we have that option.” In the final panel, the punchline reveals the cats’ logic: “Because then we can bite at full potential.”

This. I wrote about how Michael Phelps's sport-advantageous physique is celebrated, while that of Black and brown athletes - especially if they are women - is often pathologized in the Performance chapter of HUMANS: A Monstrous History (link in bio).
