AND freedom does not look like war crimes like the bombing of a children’s school or an illegal war. This is not actually complicated.

Free Iran AND no war.

The fundamentalist regime has oppressed the people of Iran for my entire lifetime. there is nothing i want more than to see my parents’ country free, to see bodily autonomy, stability, and creative freedom people take for granted.

The idea that world leaders are getting texts from him makes me instantly feel unsafe. Not that it’s possible to feel safe under this regime.

I’ve neglected my Bluesky account, sorry! Between fascism, murders by ICE, and brave protesters leading a revolution in Iran, it has been a lot. (Thankful for Heather Cox Richardson ❀️❀️)

i also have had a lot going on personally (that i posted about on Instagram)

How are *you* doing?

Last year, an author mentioned my shop on her substack. It changed my income so drastically that this is the spike of orders from that *one* mention last year. Word of mouth for an artist can change everything.

Thank you so much. It’s been a rough journey so far- lots of MRIs. I have a lumbar puncture next week. So thankful that i have health insurance, because it’s been a lot

Three months ago, i had a thunderclap headache and have been struggling ever since. Life looks very different now as a result.

If you have a good thought to spare, I’ll take it.

Also: reading to kids is one of the purest forms of joy in this world. I’ll read to kids any day. What a delight and a pleasure to have the chance to. People don’t realize how lucky they are.

Also, if you would like me to personalize the book to your daughter’s name, please just leave it with Seth and Jen and i will! It might take me a bit, I’m having brain and mobility issues right now, but i will happily when i can get over there!
