Inked, scanned, and uploaded the last pages of Orla! today. It's very bittersweet. Working on Orla! was a bright spot, and getting up everyday and drawing her was an absolute joy. I am gonna miss her immensely.

On "affordability" and "subscription culture", this is an actual article from cnn:
"Affordability is in crisis. The solution: You’ll never own anything again."
Corporate news media and mouthpieces for the capitalist ruling class are now mocking working class people. Bruh, what a life! Fuck!!

so glad the child sexual abuse panic was squarely pointed at folks like me by the people actually doing it & the public was like “yeah, seems right—freaks did it. not the men with all the money & fighting to keep child marriage legal, the women that are legal to kill in 30 states if you’re nervous.”
What a great day for finding out that a lot of things people thought were conspiracies are actually backed up by emails that are like hey pedo, let us pedo together in pedoland on the second day of the pedo month

Megyn Kelly going with “ackshually it’s called ephebophile” and defending pedophile sex trafficking pests is a complete mask off moment
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."
