i think the real draw of social media to me is just... the ease of posting, knowing that my "gallery" of art/media is updated the instant i share it, without needing to add to anything convoluted. could i do that with my own website? how do i make that easier for ME?

whenever i make art these days, i just think about how i'll archive it, preserve it, how do i show it off perfectly in a gallery...? or on a social media platform that inevitably dies to the sands of time? the perils of censorship and capitalism?

i made this last month as a thank-you card to the librarians who chose Hunger's Bite as a YA Fiction honoree, finally remembered to share it. go support your local library, they're on the front lines fighting against censorship and book banning, and we authors for children owe them so much!!

emery, neeta, and wick all enjoying a library with the text "Thank you, our librarians, for always fighting for our right to read, and for people like me to be read" attributed to taylor robin, author of hunger's bite (me)

you ever try to get telehealth as a deaf person and then your insurance straightup doesn't have an accessible option to you and hangs up on you when you call. lol

Wacom recently asked me to talk about why I make queer comics, and given there are multiple bills right now floating around in congress that are effectively "we will kill your livelihood if we get a sniff of queer" I had some pretty strong, simply feelings to relay.

‘Lilo & Stitch’ creators Chris Sanders & Dean DeBlois have shared a piece of artwork honoring the late Daveigh Chase. Chase voiced Lilo in the ‘Lilo & Stitch’ film.
