Serving Despite Discrimination and Persecution: A Gay Medical Frontliner’s Story

i illustrated a piece for Queer Lapis’s frontliner article! the first time i read this, i had to take a long moment afterward to collect myself; thank you for the opportunity to illustrate something so meaningful.

[image is an illustration of a man in a car. the man is wearing hospital scrubs, with a surgical face mask and medical gloves. he is depicted in side profile, clutching the steering wheel of a car with his forehead resting on the top of the wheel. his eyebrows are furrowed and his eyes are watery, as if trying not to cry, a few tears escaping and dripping onto his lap. he is looking straight down, looking defeated yet determined.]

haunted & unholy

I gotta know what's so hard about these people saying free Palestine? What are you afraid of? I bet they're not as afraid as them kids who have to wake up each day not knowing if they're going to be bombed or not

Say free Palestine. Stand up for humanity

ARTISTS FOR PALESTINE 🇵🇸 - ROUND 3!! On the 26th April and 3rd of May, I'll be doing art requests on stream with other notable artists to raise money for Palestinian escape funds.

This round's roster is very lucky to include returning artists including webcomic artist Graveweaver (I'm The Grim Reaper), @wolfythewitch, Cuptoast, Denimcatfish and more.

If you won't be able to make it to the streams but would still like to donate money, you can find a spreadsheet with hundreds of escape funds listed here. Alternatively, you could donate to one of three funds that I am focusing a lot of my efforts on.

Donate to Anwar's family (€8,000 from escaping) Donate to Thaer’s fund (€7,000 from escaping) Donate to Salwa Al-Shandagha ($9,000 from escaping)

As always, these fundraiser streams will always be available to watch over on my twitch channel here. Hope to see some of you there!

Pro genocide weirdos who are defending these atrocities are the scum of the earth.

Recipe Roundup in Review

In years past, I posted a two-month series of recipes suitable for the autumn season, which everyone seemed to enjoy very much. I’ve been too busy this year to make up a new queue, so I thought I’d compile a big long list of links for anyone who’s looking for recipe ideas this fall.

Update: I’ve posted more recipes since the original roundup and I’ve added those additional links to the list below. I’ve also done my best to mark which ones are vegetarian (🌿) or could be easily altered to be so. (Some could also be altered for a vegan diet using egg, milk, or butter substitutes.) Recipes which may include alcohol as an ingredient are also marked (🍷).

Some are fall-themed, others are for more wintry occasions. But all are designed to make the most of the season and keep our hearts and bellies full as we face the coming cold. Enjoy!
