heeey just here to share one more donation update for accountability. As mentioned in my older post on the East Bay Print Sale, I’m donating half of all earnings (with a lil xtra to cover the processing fee) to the @sudansolidaritycollective . See donation link in my bio. “SSC resources grassroots civil society formations at the frontlines of relief efforts in the ongoing war in Sudan” Thanks to anyone who bought a print of mine, whether you knew where it was going to, i’m grateful for the opportunity to do this and Keep Eyes on Sudan.

my first time tabling is done!! so much to share (will make a later post). but first I wanted to share a donation update for transparency + accountability. I sold two of my Free Palestine prints yesterday and as promised all earnings from those prints are being donated. I also made an additional donation to match 100% of the print earnings. See the math breakdown at the bottom. I chose to donate to the SAD MUTUAL AID FUND FOR Queer and trans Palestinians and front line organizers (link in bio): “Siren And Deathling (SAD) @sirenanddeathling , with the mentorship of @peace_out_loud , has been organizing Mutual Aid in partnership with Mx. Yaffa @yaffasutopia and @themasgd . Siren And Deathling is gathering and distributing funds in response to asks received by Yaffa and MASGD from Queer and Trans Palestinians in Palestine and the US.” Breakdown: - $44.52 print earnings (rounded up to $45) - $45 matching donation Total Donated: $90 [image description: The first image features the donation webpage of the Siren And Deathling mutual aid fund for Queer and Trans Palestinians. The second image features the donation receipt to the mutual aid fund. The third image features proof of one of the two print earnings. The fourth image features proof of the second print earning.]

swipe to the end to see a sneak peek of my first (finished) comic stories! i’ll have both horror comics for sale at @ebabzfest and @oaklandcreates . it’s been such a wild ride making them this year, and actually having a printed copy in my hand feels so surreal still. i’m incredibly grateful and honored to have the opportunity to table for the first time and share my comics with people.

final print. almost 365 days now into this genocide, but we’re still going for a Free Palestine. this is a reminder to myself too that there is no going back to business as usual. the people of Gaza changed my politics forever and i’ll never go back. from the river to the sea, Palestine will be Free.
