G'day! Here're portraits from my YA novel, METHANE.
Leela's so desperate to belong, she'd commit crimes. When she targets her twin's best friend, it threatens to rip her family apart.
Any ND or autistic writers out there?

'Long Lankin', a grisly character from British folklore murder ballads, and who I've borrowed for my story with an 'under the hill' twist.
This is how I drew the sinister gentleman in pencil and watercolour on toned paper, A4.

You weren’t “low-maintenance”.
You were starving yourself of care.
You weren’t “resilient”.
You were burned out.
You weren’t “bad at intimacy”.
You were forced to perform it.
They thought you didn’t want connection.
But you needed it more than anyone.
That’s autism.

In 1981 Korea under Chun Doo-hwan's dictatorship, 22 people were arrested and tortured in a bunker for being in a bookclub with made up charges that were nothing but a blatant attempt to create terror for the citizenry in order to uphold and stabilize Chun's power grab.

Have you ever enjoyed an image from the Hubble Space Telescope? NASA astronauts risked their lives to launch that telescope, to repair it, and to service it, multiple times.
We have all relied on them to do this so that we can see the rest of the universe more up close. 🔭

Why invite youth to develop and present their own art exhibition if you're just going to censor it when it scares your sensibilities.
Teen artists portrayed their lives — some adults didn't want to see the full picture
"What is it like to be a teen right now?" Young artists explored that question for two different exhibitions of their work this summer. But on the National Mall, their work was deemed too political.

Isn't it? And that's not to speak anything of the amount of water used in the process. We can talk about the everyman's environmental footprint but its also important to note that over 60% of emissions come from corps. And that's not even counting the fact that society encourages unsustainability.

Whether they attacked her because they thought she was a lesbian or trans, it boils down to looks, a boyish haircut (they used to be popular). How long before the only acceptable female standard is the Mar a Lago look: long hair, makeup put on with a trowel, and pneumatic lips and others bits?

A big misconception about Greenland is that since it’s labeled a Danish colony, its residents are just a bunch of white dudes named Kristian—which is extremely harmful and inaccurate.
The population is 85% Indigenous! It belongs to the Kalaallit people, not to Denmark and CERTAINLY not to the U.S.

In 1956, Nikita Khrushchev said, "We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within."
Orange Man's family had always been a Russian asset (as well as KKK), but the snowball started to roll with Nixon & Ronnie Reagan.

Tangential but I can't wait for the day we get rid of the link between a person's value and how much they work. Hustle culture is another capitalist trap. Automation would be a net positive if the billionaire class wasn't using it to enrich themselves at the expense of average people.

If you’re looking for a free way to support an author, did you know you can ask your library to stock a book you want to read that they don’t have yet? And usually it’s a very basic online form? Google your library name plus the words “request a title” or “suggest a title” to find yours.
