Hey. You know those cute little crow time comics everyone loves so much? That's Isa. That's who everyone is talking about. I think that needed to be made clear since I noticed some confusion and a lot are actually rather unaware of this fact because she's great at separating herself from this.
The Hiveworks Artist Guild has released a public statement alleging years of labor abuses, financial mismanagement, and misconduct at Hiveworks at the hands of Xellette “Xel” Velamist and Isabelle “Isa” Melançon. Read their full statement at: cartoonist.coop/hiveworks-gu...
It's been a long ten years and I finally get to talk publicly about what happened behind closed doors. Please take the time to read this letter and please avoid working with these people. You are more valuable than an opportunity for people like them to use you as cash cow for your work. 🧵

i liked but didn't love s2 of apothecary diaries. felt overcomplicated and the show's bad habit of telling not showing was on full display
this is age-old discourse, i can't believe i'm seeing someone say this sincerely in 2025. this is a fake problem located entirely within a specific type of fandom. there is plenty of non-gay art about male friendship and being gay continues to be much more stigmatized than "men being friends"
the dracula ballet was wonderful but instead of an original score had what felt like a "BEST OF EPIC/EMOTIONAL CLASSICAL MUSIC" playlist. night on bald mountain, claire de lune, 1812 overture, and more mashed together. on the nose at best and distracting at worst
i think i subscribe to the team cherry school of development secrecy, id just rather make my stuff totally disconnected from social media and never post about it than have to post for Engagement. unfortunately many con/market panels check your social media follower count 🫠
not me using this post to date when i need to get my bloods done. no voice dropping yet but i wait in hope
starting testosterone today and i can't decide if i tell my parents before or after my voice drops
delighted to pick up 4 huge screens for screenprinting for $25 each today instead of the $188 i'd have paid new. EACH. i'm so excited to be able to do huge designs on my tea towels now, i thought i'd have to do them half/half with small screens. totally opens a world of possibilities for me
I have never been more targeted in my entire fucking life
it's unbelievable that a tiny "nonprofit/charity" can wreck the incomes of so many artists, hiding behind the veil of "we care about sex trafficking victims" when it's ALWAYS about banning porn and furthering their nasty little homophobic and whorephobic agenda
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. This is our moment, let's get these people shut down.
happy nonbinary peoples day. its like my birthday and if anyone does anything to personally inconvenience me at work today it's actually illegal

trying brunch at the lebanese restaurant next to our unit this morning. they started offering brunch a couple of weeks ago so naturally i have to try it
my thrilling friday night: cooking dinner from a cookbook with ancient roman recipes. instructions are terse, I'm excited
my new print display arrived for my linocuts! should be a game changer for craft markets
im tabling at an outdoor market tomorrow that doesn't allow pegging the marquee down. so, im filling water weight pods with concrete today and strapping on concrete blocks. that way, I can get to the 20kg per leg minimum without shelling out $350 for cast iron leg weights (!!!!)
nothing like being halfway through cooking laksa and realising that the laksa paste has peanuts in it!!! that was nearly a disaster lmao
all I could think about watching @ladyemily.nebula.tv 's amazing video on gordon ramsay's grilled cheese spectacular was how easily reciptineats blows him out of the water for approachable grilled cheese content. oh. and why the fuck did he put kimchi in there. deranged
Fighting VRmin in the lower levels really makes you want to take a holiday to the South Wastes...
very happy with the market today - learnt heaps and met lots of other great vendors. such a good crowd too, i'm so glad i had a stall there!
