BECAUSE my position is immutable

Fun thing to think about very briefly: who currently has better lawyers, the United States or Nintendo

I would feel even more alive if I wasn't severely Vitamin D deficient I bet

Shoutout to March 17 for being the one year anniversary of my whole fucking life flipping inside out. So much has happened since then and I feel ALIVE for both better and worse

I keep being like 'what's wrong with me, why am I so exhausted when my day job isn't even full time' as though I'm not regularly working 50+ hours between that and freelance and as though I haven't been. Struggling with back to back emergencies for almost a year now

Cover of the Cephalopod Science Comics! by Ari Ganahl many arrows point between the words and the cephalopods visible

Picture of OP holding a copy of Cephalopod Science Comics in his hand

Picture of the zine open to a page depicting two drawings of an octopus. The left page has external anatomy labelled, and the right page has internal anatomy. Various octopus facts are scattered across the two pages.

Put together a zine of my cephalopod zines, and then figured I would also toss up a pdf. 🐙🐡💥
