The work I do is sometimes hard, but I got to hear someone who cried on the phone last week say "Thank you" with so much relief and joy that it made the stress feel worth it.

A comic about going to therapy and accepting the parts of myself that try their best, even if they get some things wrong. <3

Your worth is not determined by your health.
Your worth is not determined by your job, marital status or economic output.
Everyone is deserving of shelter, food, healthcare and social supports.
No one should have to “earn them”.
When basic needs are met, society is better off.

ICE funding has passed the house, but it still has to go through the senate, now is your chance to call!

No because any black scholar, feminist scholar, (writer, thinker) could tell you it’s never been about gun rights, constitutionalism, states rights, or whatever other bs
The only consistent underlying ideology of the right is the violent and material oppression of marginalized people. Period.

The right is arguing that federal agents should be allowed to summarily execute you if you are carrying a firearm—after years of warning crazy people that federal agents would come and seize your guns.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.
ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Grief is incredibly strange, because although I understand that the funeral was a few days ago, a small, stubborn part of my brain expects those regular, random phone calls where my grandma calls just to say hi and ask how our dog ("little puppy", as she would put it) is doing.

Wanted to draw something cheerful and cutesy 💗🫧
Although pink is probably my favorite color to use in art, I never actually wear it!

Thank you to everyone who left a kind word or simply sent a loving thought my/my family's way. Loss is strange. Less than a month ago, my husband was wondering what to bake Grandma for Christmas. Less than two weeks ago, we were singing together.
It hurts. But I'm thankful for every sweet memory.

My grandma is gone.
I kissed her head two hours ago. And she's gone.

Bit the bullet and sent a message to someone I personally know who's married to a conservative rep. I know and have met both of them, which made their descent into MAGA so disturbing.
It might be pointless, but I hope hearing from someone they once knew shifts something. Anything's worth trying.

Saw a post today about how some people can feel like they fall apart when they're finally safe, and it reminded me that I began to cry and feel angry much more often after getting married and settled. Not because my marriage was or is bad, but because I finally felt safe to actually *feel* things.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

I will be officially hitting my late 20s in under a week, which is making big things like having kids, buying a house, etc. all the more salient 😵💫

Doodle of a girl and her blonde TWA! :) I'm actually pretty satisfied with the reflective lighting.
Drawing a teeny afro felt a little cathartic - I remember my hair being this short after my big chop!
