Today is the last day of my sale! Thanks for looking!
Welp, I just got hit with an $2k repair bill for my heater, so I’m running a 15% shop-wide sale on my Etsy in hopes of offsetting some of the cost. 🥲 (I even have some new prints up!)
I’m also still taking commissions, if you’re interested!

I am 90% sure this is the cake we made in the cooking module in middle school
Because of the price of eggs, I give you the classic Great Depression-era recipe for Crazy Cake, both in the original chocolate and vanilla versions. No eggs, no milk, all deliciousness.

Amazon workers in Quebec unionized last year.
This week, Amazon closed its warehouse operations in Quebec.
Amazon denied the closures were related to unionization, but it has a track record of crushing unions in America.

A lot of the actionable advice here for American trans creators really stuck out to me, particularly the warning that we need to stop heavily relying on cloud storage for harboring our works, because those are platforms to which trans folks' access could be rescinded at any time.
Okay, here’s the deal: RIGHT NOW is the time for concrete, direct action.
If you’re following me, it’s probably because you care about trans art and trans literature. The article below lays out my suggestions for dozens of concrete actions you can take to preemptively combat literary censorship.
