The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

A Letter to my webcomic, Gwendy & Ghost Gwendy & Ghost is a webcomic, based on many factors of my childhood, that I have been working on since 2010–the year I graduated high school.

My most recent writing! A letter to my webcomic…

that trope where the vhs covers are so adorable looking and when you watch it it’s just one of the most devastating movies you’ve ever seen in your youth

I’m already doing my best to support my own little family as a mother of two babies, so this is going to be an exhausting process.

Please send me good vibes!

She refuses to move into a senior home or affordable housing programs since she has 7 cats she will not part ways with.

I found a trailer for $18k and after discussing with the lot owner, he thankfully would allow her cats to come stay with her.

I am currently in the process of taking out a loan to purchase my 75 year old grandmother a trailer home. This is a huge financial burden for me, since I am not receiving any help from other family members to care for her. Her own 4 children want nothing to do with her.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know very well that I grew up in a house that never had heat and barely had working water.

It breaks my heart to even say this…

My childhood home is getting condemned.

Whenever I do get my rare moments to myself to draw for just a few minutes, I still can’t stop thinking about my babies 🩷

Why I’m cutting social media and content creation as a new mom Before I married my husband and had my two wee babies, I averaged about 6-9 hours a day of screen time on my phone.

Just wrote up a new article on my Substack:

I lived without heat for 13 years. The weather outside is frightful…but I had no delightful fire.

I published my first Substack article…and it gets raw and vulnerable.
