Drawing of Daisy in a white peacock dress in the hands of Gatsby. Publishing synopsis reads “ In which Nick Carraway develops a parasocial codependency with Gatsby—an aspiring couturier with a fabricated identity— until control shifts within New York’s criminal underworld and a deadly, reignited obsession with a former starlet shakes Gatsby’s grip on reality, thus threatening Nick’s ideal American muse”

At long last, my Great Gatsby retelling - a psychological thriller/drama graphic novel filled with vintage glamour - is getting published! #GreatGatsbyIIE
Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.
Honoring Alice Wong's life and legacy with gratitude, in solidarity and sorrow, this morning. I was a fan; thinking of all who loved and knew her personally.
Alice's words speak to us still. As a chronically ill person, I will keep listening. What a beautiful, bold, *brilliant* life well lived.
Happy Nat Turner Day for all who celebrate 🙌🏾
i will repeat: this is psychological torture for SNAP recipients.

Many full time creatives have “invisible safety nets” like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.
why are people like this!? infuriatingly shitty behavior, that’s horrible
TODAY’S THE DAY!!! congratulations, Pearl! so proud i could cry 🥹💗
