Text reads: Oh no! I was supposed to be at ECCC but instead I caught the flu! So it's time for a huge shop drop. There's also a doodle of me laying in bed. A collage of various risograph prints, stickers, and a book fill the page.

Folks, I caught the flu this week and won't be able to make it to ECCC. I've just dropped a bunch of new/con exclusive stuff on my online shop to help make up for the loss, and you can get 15% off til 3/15 if you use the code "BOOFLU"

From the war-torn streets of Portland, a group of wily cartoonists and illustrators stood as humanity's last hope for (noun). A collective known as Helioscope!

PORTLAND: Lots of folks have gotten out of the habit of masking. But we can get those KN95s back out for #RCCC @rosecitycc.bsky.social. We don't have a real CDC anymore, and we don't know WHAT to expect from the next variant. Let's take this one simple step to protect ourselves and each other!

Home sick today so instead of going to the studio I drew a cat meme of my D&D party 🐈
Middle Cat/Ranger: "I was just minding my business and these two showed up and said we were a cuddle puddle! I don't even know what a cuddle puddle is!" #dungeonsanddragons #sillyart #quickdraw #oc #cuddletherapy

A single-panel comic drawn with sable brush and india ink with inkwash and cross-hatch shading. There is a cursive caption written on a ribbon waving in space at the top of the panel that says "Feel like shit, making sun tea."
In the foreground we see a detailed ink drawing of a glass container with a little groove formed on the side for a handle; there's a bag of loose tea leaves floating in water inside the container, held in place by a cap. The sun is shining through the glass to make organic-looking shadows on the outdoor table where the container is sitting, and in the background we can see a deck with several planters on its railing, just behind a raised garden bed.
Beneath the comic is my signature (Kat Baumann), today's date (7-9-2025) and the time I spent drawing this (50 minutes)

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.

I lost ALL my sketchbooks in the move. πŸ™ƒ I have, like FIFTY of them because of how often I lose them (only to find them again after I buy a new one, of course). AND YET...

Do I accept my fate and buy a new one? Or stubbornly hold out and suffer? πŸ€”

Here's a fresh look at my new graphic memoir, IT RHYMES WITH TAKEI!

For the first time, I'll share the full story of my 68 years in the closet, my decision to come out and join the fight for LGBTQ rights, and how that moment changed everything.
