gravestone parody of kurt vonnegut's drawing from Slaughterhouse-Five. this is a pen and ink illustration that reads Everything Was Fugly & Also Hurt

Never Whistle at Night Part II: Back for Blood is out wherever you buy books! I got my author copies in the mail while I was out of town, so it was a pleasant surprise - I am so excited to read alongside everyone <3

money spread of 3 copies of NWAN2 but it's on a really degraded camera bc i have a dumbphone as i constantly remind people

proof of life pics by my boyfriend

shaawan wearing sunglasses reflected on top of his car with a tree and a building behind him. taken on film. his hair is in a messy bun he has a gold chain on and he's looking at a nokia.

shaawan in braids and a baseball cap on a ferry looking kinda brown. still a b&w photo. his septum ring is the standout here.

NWAN2.com for those of you who don't know, i'm in this with a whole slew of brilliant indigenous writers, it's up for preorder. get in there is what i'm saying

nice little graphic saying Preorder Never Whistle At Night Part II: Back For Blood and NWAN2.com. It's got a really gory little cover subtly referencing all the awful little stories you can experience inside.

there’s genuinely no capturing how good adult high school by @alexisflower.bsky.social looks on the kobo my best friend gave me

kobo libra 2 in a hand next to a flowery coffee cup and an owala water bottle on top of a granite tabletop in the suburbs. the sun is out. the page is like, page 3 of Adult High School by Alexis Flower

jack is having a hell of a time getting FIFA up and running

screenshot of a text that reads HELP IT’S ON PEACOCK BUT IT’S JUST FUCKING STUCK ON THIS IMAGE OF A WOLF

there’s a bunch of paper towels in front of the tv, which is indeed stuck on an image of a white wolf on a rock howling in the night surrounded by evergreens. there’s soviet posters on the wall, a plant, and old fashioned speakers.

went to the ball game in a super duper northern state and they sang dixie before they sang the stars and stripes. yeah it was horrifying. happy birthday america

“please stand for the national anthem” written in big blocky letters, a dog barks beneath it, pulling on a leash. a cartoon version of shaawan and his mother listen in terror as the “national anthem” in question ends up being Dixie, which is the confederate national anthem. his mother whispers “they’ve never sung this before.” happy birthday america!

this rat bastard is going to miss me while im gone

shaawan holding his housemate’s cat looking very gay with a rose gold septum ring, bisexual lighting, and french braids.

going back to doing comics to process my complicated emotions i decided. which horrifically insecure Friday Frankie are you

cartoon ndn man with enormous sad eyes and a shitty little nose and two braids looking absolutely demolished as he says “i didn’t know those would be the broader consequences of that social interaction”

sexy frankie with a septum ring, unshaven, looking glossy but also like he wants very badly to be slapped and kicked because he’s That Pathetic rn, saying to an offscreen presence, “is this… doing anything for you…?”

unshaven less sexy frankie with two braids looking exhausted as his bank informs him he’s in the negatives by a cool hundo again this week

frankie flirtatiously trying to play off his confusion at who is on the other end of the phone by saying “no, of course i knew it was you…” he is holding a plastic nokia and smirking like a hanna barbera character

reading went well i think :) it was so nice to be alongside all these poets and storytellers, what a beautiful lineup @gr8earlofhell.bsky.social curated

shaawan stands in front of a red curtain at mobtown ballroom holding a microphone. he’s wearing a groutfit with chainmail and holding a grey ipad in his other hand. he has creepers on.

the same photo but he’s doing a little gay tilt and smirking, you can also see he has french braids more clearly

turning in my manuscript this week

accidental front-camera selfie of me staring at my nearly-finished manuscript, fighting off nausea as i realize it’s kinda ass

selfie i sent my boyfriend on the floor of me making the marty supreme hand gesture with KNICKS ARE UP written in impact font. i’m wearing detective munch sunglasses in front of two mirrors in a sparse apartment

a literally impossible captcha that says select all squares with fire hydrants, with a picture of a goddamn traffic light

Gabrielle is my stylist and friend and I love working with her so much. I found her through the Baltimore Beat’s Christmas issue and she styled me for my younger sibling’s wedding. I’m super excited to see her get more work because she’s so professional and has such clarity of vision.

Gabe (a petite, stunning Black woman with a bun and a rose in her hair, red cowboy boots, cherry earrings, a leather jacket and a white pleated skirt) fixes a kokum scarf on Shaawan (a Native man seated in acid-washed jeans and a striped off-white button down shirt, tattoos visible, sterling silver necklace beneath a red, black and real bone choker) in front of a cream backdrop in a studio

Gabe (blush makeup and mood ring visible) pins a hole shut in Shaawan’s button-down. he’s wearing a sterling silver bearclaw cuff and a gold necklace as well as a tan rag and bone vest.
