Was riding a provincial bus with my friend. The bus braked hard, and she caught me by the forehead. It was a meaty smack

sometimes they're right but you can't tell them they are

3-panel comic, ink and colored pencil, 14x14cm
panel 1: zala zuri, an iranian trans woman and teacher, stands in front of a drawing of the pacific northwest on a whiteboard, holding a dry erase marker. she explains, "these states, washington and oregon (and sometimes idaho) are called the pacific northwest, or cascadia. can anyone guess where that name comes from?" a student calls out, "the cascade mountains?" miss zuri says, "very good! two points for the blue table!"
panel 2: a student asks, "miss z, why only sometimes idaho?" miss z answers, "great question! it's partly 'cause they're not on the ocean, and partly 'cause... uh... they have... different views."
panel 3: another student says, "oh, i've heard of them! they're crazy people called, 'republicans,' right??" miss zuri says, "um."

him sounds different... #omart

4 panel comic. panel 1: my sona smiling as speech bubbles surround mt using she/her pronouns and words like "girl."
panel 2: a new, squiggly scraggly speech bubble with the word "him" in it pops in from the right that blows everything away.
panel 3: the speech bubble shrinks and flitters down. i catch it in my hands. it lands with a plop. text reads: "It wasn't even said with malice. but it... it suddenly sounded wrong?"
panel 4: a close up shot of the crunchy speech bubble in my hands. more text surrounding it reads: it feels like a shirt that i've outgrown. did i just never notice? because it's all i've ever worn?"

The amount of times us Iranians are beaten down just because of our ethnicity never fails to infuriate me. A fellow Iranian animator and artist just had her Kickstarter project suspended completely out of the blue. It’s heartbreaking

Funding Suspended

After Kickstarter suspended Young In Iran (because sanctions smh), SAW has gone ahead with publication You can preorder your copy right now Iranian voices must be heard, their people seen for who they are bit.ly/YoungInIran

For some currently unknown reason, the fundraiser (which had reached its goal) for Young in Iran was suspended by Kickstarter I haven't found out why it was suspended but I will say how disappointed I am that a book highlighting the plight of young Iranians was shut down when the West needs it most

"kickstopper"
4-panel comic, ink and colored pencil, 10x11cm

panel 3: an iranian artist shows off an art project to kickstarter, saying, "hi, we're crowdfunding an artistic project showcasing iranian cul--" kickstarter looks apoplectic
panel 4: kickstarter explodes with rage at the iranian artist, screaming racist obscenities

"n.b.d."
8-panel comic, ink and colored pencil, 20x12cm
panel 1: miss zuri, an iranian trans woman and teacher, overhears her students talking about how one of them is going by they/them pronouns
panel 2: miss z asks if the student is nonbinary, to which they enthusiastically reply in the affirmative

panel 4: the student is confused, and miss z explains it's perfectly natural
panel 5: the student exclaims, "wait, does that mean there's gay animals?!" miss z says yes
panel 6: the nonbinary student asks if there are nonbinary animals, and miss z says kind of
panel 7: a third student asks if there are trans animals, and miss z says there are, like clownfish

if it's scary, do it scared. do it for a nicer rack. do it for space communism. do it for the ol' razzle-dazzle. do it for dolly and tim.

the spirits of dolly parton and tim curry give zuri the courage to take her estrogen shot

listening to old iranian music and being reminded that there's only 2 types of iranian songs: the meditative poetic ballad and the electro-traditional dance track with a beat perfect for all the relatives at the party to clap along to
