Description: A photo of the water beside Santorini, Greece.  It’s a gloomy day, which just serves to make the blue, bluer, and the white, whiter.  An illustration of myself sits on one of the limestone white walkway guards.

Cats keep everything in perspective.

Description: A black and white cartoon of me holding and snuggling up to my black cat Chako.  I relay how ‘Everything is so much all the time.’  Chako responds that he 'Stares death in the face every day.’  Because my cats have zero chill and do not care.

Description: A series of panels, in black, white, and red.  They show me getting up and going about my day.  In the morning, I wake up and scream.  And I do not stop until I go back to bed.

How do I put this gently …

You fuckers wanna see Trump actually face consequences - see Roe protected - not lose all the progress of the past 2 years under Biden? (yes ik we need more to be done i know)

YOU HAVE TO FUCKING VOTE IN THE MID TERMS - POLLS ARE SHOWING A RED RESURGANCE BC PEOPLE HATE INFLATION AND THEY’RE VOTING REPUBLICAN LIKE IT’LL DO SOMETHING TO STOP IT.

Vote. Encourage your friends to vote. Vote at all levels. It does make a difference! If it didn’t they wouldn’t be trying so hard to discourage us from voting!

They are coming for Social Security and Medicare and they are talking about this in the open!

Vote, for fucks sake.

Ask yourself why they say it makes no difference if it really made no difference. Someone wants to stop you, that’s why.

Your mother, father, grandparents, they paid their own money into Social Security and the republicans say it’s a “perk"…no. It’s their money. You’re paying into it with every paycheck. It’s your money too.

They want it. They want the poor poorer.

Make a difference. It’s one day. A few hours. Make a difference to your parents, your grandparents.

To you.
