Omg!! I've been reading gourmet hound annually since it was coming out weekly!! So exciting to see new story from the author + it's aroace focused!!!
Hello, I'm Robyn/Leehama and I make comics (Gourmet Hound, Flowerpot)!

My current project is "And Another Lovely Day", a (non) rom-com about two aroace coworkers who, after a meet cute outside of work, mistakenly believe the other is in love with them

Interdependence is beautiful and I love it. Watching my friends tell the bars dj to not play flashing lights (I'm a seizure risk) and check in with me during the night <3

I'm supposed to watch as the foundation for my citizenship is destroyed, while I complete a PhD concerning my disability, watch science become censored, propaganda run rampant, access to info and resources on queerness be destroyed, and also just, go to work????

Trying to turn my indignation and anger at the lack of autistic voices in research into fuel for writing my diss proposal (like... So few researchers even use self report bc they're worried about validity or if an asd person can communicate "correctly")

I'm so fucking tired of being sick in ways that don't make sense to others not even to Drs. Why do I spend episodes laying on the couch unable to take care of myself sick to my stomach half scared my brain is making me think I'm sick and half scared I'm sick but no one will believe me

I am learning to recognize what a shit dad I had growing up
My dad also used to hint at that I was "fat" even though I was chronically underweight bc he assumed that I must be all fat due to not doing any "real" exercise or sports. I was horseback riding, doing gymnastics, aerial dance, rock climbing, hiking w/ friends, and swimming the whole time
Really sad realising the first person to call me "yellow" was my dad (white) and I was like 13 :( my first experiences with racism were my family and it hurts

Just did Dad night out version of party night: drove over early to visit, socialize, and "get ready" with the pals. Chaffeured everyone around as the DD and sent them off to the metro. Said gnight and went home to bed. Love that I can find ways to work w/ my disabilities to accommodate myself

I have been thinking about the artistry and love in GDT Frankenstein since I saw it in theaters. Beautiful. Everything I've ever loved about making movies was in there.

Taking suggestions on simple to prepare it already prepared food that is calorie and nutrient dense. Living with low appetite and prone to nausea but I know I need to stay fed!

Realising I made a mistake in reading updates to the grant proposal (read 2025 as 2026), have an upset stomach from stress, fighting my low appetite to get enough calories, but feeling so loved and supported! Stressed but not alone!
