Hello #portfolioday! I’m a (comics) writer focussing on queer stories in horror, fantasy and sci fi.

I’ve written stories about sapphic robots with adhd, ghosts with a severe cases of lesbian yearning, trans adventuring bards and more!

I really enoyed this, but I did feel my brain rebel at the entire concept of knowing whether something is working or not. You can see me unpack it from various angles with my answers. That is a very me answer.
Welcome to The Moment, a new video interview series on SKTCHD where I talk to creators about The Moment they knew four of their biggest books would work.

Up first: @kierongillen.bsky.social, who joins me to talk Journey into Mystery, The Wicked + The Divine, Darth Vader, and Die. It's fun!

My best advice for parents re: harmful content: show genuine interest in the stuff your kid is watching and doing online.

Let them talk your ear off about Minecraft and Roblox and the funny video they just watched. Make them feel excited to share with you, vs making them feel ashamed or judged

A sad day. If you haven't read Assata, it's a terrific recounting of her life in her own words and the events that led to her radicalization and arc to a revolutionary figure. Get it from your local library or used bookstore.

How often have the fantastic four been kicked out of the Baxter Building? By my count at least three time and I feel I’ve barely scratched the surface 😅

It’s Batman day apparently so let’s all celebrate our favourite times he got his shit absolutely rocked.

It might seem counterintuitive in this age to consider being trans a fundamentally hopeful act, but it is!

We dare to look at the world and ourselves and believe both can change for the better. What is more hopeful than that.

It’s that hope that the right is trying to squash.
September 20, 2025 at 12:37 PM
Being trans is at it’s core about being hopeful. It’s about caring to make our own little world a little better, a little safer and a lot more comfortable.

It’s about lifting each other up and not being the asshole.

I cannot think of anything further removed from nihilsm at all.
Trans identity is the literal OPPOSITE of Nihilism, its the EXISTENTIALIST expression that YOU can decide who you are, and what has meaning in the world.

Nihilism is the complete ANTITHESIS of that, it is surrender to perceived inevitability.

To choose for yourself who you are is to DEFY Nihilism.
I can't think of a word that describes trans folk LESS than nihilism. Every trans/ non-binary/genderqueer person I've had the privilege to know are passionate and feel things very deeply. They care about identity, family, and community. Being openly trans is the polar opposite of not giving a shit.

every time we talk about parental permission in terms of book banning I'm like fuck man. kids have rights too. a 17-year-old should be able to check out books at the library without Mom and Dad stepping in. so should a 10-year-old or 7 or whatever. kids deserve SOME goddamn freedom and privacy

Being trans in Europe while having trans friends in the US u terrifying right now.

I’m deeply scared for my friends and also deeply worried about how transphobia is increasing here as well.

All around just exhausting.

Hey if you're like "wow everything sucks for trans people I sure wish I can help out a trans-owned business that highlights trans artists and is working to provide a queer third space" now is your chance!
Hey, um, we need help. Moving is costing us at least $10k more than we planned for and we may need to close down the shop for a short while so... we're running our first ever fundraiser. outsidercomics.com/moving-updat... You can also help by shopping our moving sale this weekend.

We’ve been cleared to share it, so we can say we did a variant cover for Absolute Martian Manhunter 7, dropping December 24! The book slaps, we were delighted to be asked to contribute.

@denizcamp.bsky.social and @javierrodriguez.bsky.social really have something special with this book.
