    I make comics for queer adult audiences about whatever sordid & beautiful is occupying my heart at the moment: Letters for Lucardo / Fortunate Beasts (18+): Shattered Spear: Sasha from the Gym (18+):

    Additionally,  a  closeted  life  is  not  necessarily  an  indication  of  a  desire  to  remain  clo seted.  Just  because  it  was  not  safe  for  an  historical  figure  to  be  out  in  their  public  life  does not  mean  that  that  person  was  ashamed  of  their  sexuality  or  gender  identity.  Further, outness  is  not  a  binary.  A  person  can  be  out  to  their  partner,  to  their  family,  or  to their  community.  And  just  because  their  straight  and  cisgender  relatives  were  not aware  of  or  refused  to  acknowledge  their  queerness  does  not  mean  that  that  person was  truly  closeted.  It  is  still  common  for  trans  people  to  be  misgendered  after  their deaths  in  their  own  obituaries.18  This  erasure  is  an  indignity  and  a  violence.  When  weigh ing  the  risk  of  accidental  queering  against  queer  erasure,  it  is  more  just  to  err  on  the  side of  queerness.

    I feel like people are often keen to dismiss brothel raids as something neutral. Sometimes people don’t understand why I complain about being caught up in modern slavery raids. Obviously I’m fine, right? Like, I’m not in prison right now so I’m fine? Nah actually

    How do you show multiple possibilities & uncertainty in archaeological illustration? It’s challenging to visualize complex processes w/ several possible outcomes & w/o reducing them to set linear steps. Here’s one of my solutions in diagram form. 1/7

    Diagram showing the possible steps in constructing and using an earth oven from the Pend Oreille Valley. A cutaway of an earth oven in use is in the center of the image. It is surrounded by a circular flow of steps, the main ones being collecting construction supplies, gathering food resources, constructing the oven, cooking the food, a meal or storage of cooked food, and finally abandonment or reuse of oven.
