Bianca wears clothes for a lot of reasons: fitting in among humans; protection; love of fashion; hiding the worst of the scars.
Arok never wears clothes because he's protected by his mantis exoskeleton and because no one makes clothes for human-sized mantises.

We are delighted to share this interview with Hao about his first book, Skinny Woman in a Straw Hat. And you can stay tuned for a new book (and interview) later in the spring. He is a beautiful storyteller.

Weird Luck readers who are exceptionally perceptive may have noticed that Charles has the head of a penguin.
He's from a whole ancient clan of penguin-headed warriors, and we'll learn their origin story in Chapter 2.8!

The legends about Bianca's species––especially the more accurate ones––are so horrifying that most people think the entire species is just a myth invented to frighten the credulous. Even a lot of younger Reality Patrol agents don't believe in them.

"Most of us want to be more graceful and less awkward. But I don’t think the awkwardness of being human can ever be fully transcended. It might look that way when we see certain bodies on stages or movie screens, but there’s a lot of illusion involved in that."

"The writing that I’ve seen come out of it – the thinking and being that folx have created – is truly the kind of work that I want to support and help create. It’s among the most powerful, profound, and life-affirming work that I know of."

"There’s no romantic love between these two, but there is definitely love and even a mystical connection. This is why in the first line of the book her ghost appears to him."

I've had a wave of new follows lately, so hi everybody! I'm Nicky and I write a webcomic called Weird Luck.
I'm also an aikido teacher and a psychology professor, and I once wrote a controversial essay collection called Neuroqueer Heresies, but 95% of my posts are about the comic.

So amazing. We know Dean from SK6 (Rest Stop) and SK9 (Numbers).
We are here for you. All things in their season.
"This season requires less effort and more attunement. If you listen carefully, you will know that the stillness is not empty. I am leaving many things undone as I transition between years, and permitting myself to be smaller, quieter, and slower."

We are on a regular schedule again next Friday, and this also begins a month of free classes for new students. If you have friends and family that want to come practice, it's a great time. We'll keep it light and focus on the fundamentals.
"Two crewmen rowed them through the eerie red water, their oars catching on water weeds. Father and Ihrael clutched their documents and what few supplies they had. Turtles surfaced left and right, witnessing their passage."
