american tax dollars are funding genocide.
CALL YOUR REPS EVERY DAY
tell them you want:
1) an immediate, permanent ceasefire.
2) to halt military aid to israel, because our money is being used to collectively punish and murder civilians in violation of international humanitarian law.
it's really very easy! you're not going to get pulled into a debate, you're just leaving a message w a machine or an aide.
write yourself a little two sentence script, including your zip code. just recite it, thank the aide for their time, and hang up.
if that feels overwhelming, the 5calls.org app can automate the process for you, and even provides optional scripts.
if the main voicemail is full, call one of their homestate offices. the info is easy to find on their website, or the top right corner in 5calls app
if you don’t have the capacity for a phone call, you can email your reps instead. all have info on their websites.
even easier: resist.bot lets you write & send the letter from your messaging app. it gives prompts and makes the process basically frictionless.
gaza is being ethnically cleansed right now. it’s US tax dollars bombing hospitals, apartment blocks, refugee camps, areas civilians were told to evacuate to. we’re killing journalists and medical workers and children.
call your reps every day. demand a ceasefire and end to military aid to israel.

warrior nun on netflix has taken over my wife’s brain. the show has real “buffy the vampire slayer meets dan brown’s davinci code meets van helsing” energy, with mortal kombat-level gore and i cannot stress enough that while the plot features MANY nuns who are warriors, the titular Warrior Nun is neither warrior nor nun!! she’s just a cute rando who got angel-based superpowers by being ✨worthy✨ in the wrong place at the wrong time. she and a serious business (but uncapitalized) warrior nun slow burn fall in love while saving the world. 😍
super excited to share the cover for Growing Pangs by Kathryn Ormsbee! It’s a rly sweet GN about anxiety, summercamp, and friendship drama. This was a ton of fun to illustrate (not least because of the late-90s nostalgia) and i can't wait for you all to read it when it comes out next may!
you can preorder here.

inktober 2021: the cryptid edition, part 1
catching up on 10-year-old kdramas, and other good uses of my time
Shortcuts, the third Sanity & Tallulah graphic novel, is out now!
* * * Buy it on: indiebound | bookshop.org | barnes&noble | amazon
* * *
Summary:
Tallulah is great at piloting! And with her learner’s permit freshly reinstated, she has the perfect opportunity to prove it: filling in on the mail route to nearby stations while all the regular pilots are out sick. It’s her first big solo flight, and yeah, okay, her parking could use some work, but she’s not even a little bit nervous—she's got Sanity along as copilot, plenty of old flight logs for navigation, and they'll be in radio contact with Wilnick almost the whole time.
All they have to do is follow the pre-approved route and stay out of the dangerous, uncharted, explosives-littered debris cloud...no matter how tempting a shortcut it is.
Oh, and don’t cross the military blockade into the United Territories, obviously.
See? No sweat!
Sanity and Tallulah’s pre-approved route didn’t say anything about space stations exploding, enemies in need of rescue, or getting caught in the middle of a border crisis in danger of escalating into all-out war, but sometimes totally awesome pilots have to change plans on the fly, and only an excellent copilot can keep things from going completely upside down.
