A quick #SAComicsSunday to end the year in which I'm going to highlight three ongoing longform #SAComics web comics that you can read online for free. (Great if you're looking for something to do during the holidays because, unlike us, you're stuck in the Northern Hemisphere and cold.) 1/8

Art I drew of the main characters of my book the Full Moon Problem. It's in the front cover of the paperback ❀️ You can find the book here: books2read.com/The-Full-Moo... I'm also open for character commissions in April: www.kayworx.com/character-art #BookArt #CharacterArt

Listen I know shit sucks but PLEASE find the things that make you happy and keep doing them. It is not frivolous. It is how you survive.

Dear Media: Halting all aid to Gaza is not "pressuring Hamas." Collective punishment is a war crime. Starvation as a weapon of war is a war crime. Withholding medical care is a war crime. None of this is remotely controversial actually. Israel is doing war crimes, not "pressuring Hamas."

Here's my books and comic if anyone wants to read them for the event πŸ’™πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ Also going to update my trans book list of books I've read and can recommend with trans MCs soon!

Damn, I was trying to set up a little pop-up online shop for the next 2 weeks so I could sell some of my printed books and comics before the big move, but shipping one book internationally now (with the place I used to ship with) costs R1400/$70 πŸ₯² Nevermind that idea

Porn is art, porn is free speech, porn is important to a healthy society, a society without porn is a society that wants me dead.

Unfortunately, it looks like the ol' meatsack is busy running up even more bills, so I've adjusted the amount. Please consider me for doodles, pet portraits (both silly and serious) or character portraits. I know it's tough out there so pls take care of yourself first. 🧑 ko-fi.com/danellemalan...

I need to be making more of a monthly income than I currently am so I can fucking move out of my parent's place, but I'm not going to have time this month to do any commissions, and half of my Amazon payments didn't come through for the second month in a row 😭 I'm so fucking tired.

Also, money received through the app is witheld from the creator for 75 DAYS. So not only are you as a member being charged extra, the creator has to wait 2.5 months to get it. It's bad for everyone. Sub through the mobile site or desktop!

In my moving prep I found my old box full of letters and cards. I wanted to get rid of any cards that didn't actually have anything written in them, and just realised I've already received the last card my grandmother will ever give me. She's had Alzheimer's since 2020 and can't write any more.

I'm on a roll with editing but I can't keep working on it because I have ~other responsibilities~ πŸ˜’

On November 7, 2024, Denmark used a racist, culturally biased "parenting competency" test to remove 2 hour old baby Zammi from her loving Greenlandic Inuit mother, Keira, because her native language. Please sign this petition to help Keira to get her baby back. www.change.org/p/bring-a-li...

I block Shein and Temu on all socials, and scrolling Instagram I got these ads right after each other: 1: AI-generated "person" (block) 2: Shein (block) 3: Shein Curve (block) 4: Temu South Africa (block) 5: Temu Europe(block) 6: Shop Temu (block) 7: Temu France (block) 8: PicnPay (you can stay)

Read the Full Moon Problem ✨ www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJT1T1X5 #MMRomance #KindleUnlimited #TransBooks

even if you don't give a shit about porn you should be doing your part to stop this. this is a direct attack on freedom of speech and the rights of LGBTQ+ people. queer peoples' existence is not pornography and neither is pornography evil. if you think this won't affect you, think again.

This fee only hits new subscriptions/purchases on patreon, rather than existing ones afaik - but in general, it's a good idea to only make purchases in a browser, rather than any app! This type of fee doesn't only apply to Patreon.

My February queer romance book recommendations πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ I read them as ebooks and they were all just so wonderful and cute. 🧡 [ #booksky πŸ’™πŸ“š #queerbooks #romancebooks. #bookreview ]

Everytime I see someone say JD Vance I think they're talking about a singer (like Vance Joy) and I'm like, what an odd thing for a singer to be doing.

All of my comics and books that are available on my Itchio store are now also available on my Patreon store! ❀️ www.patreon.com/c/kayworx/shop kayworx.itch.io

I hate when I have so many things I wanna do and can't because I need to finish one task first, and then when I finally finish that task and have time for all those other things, I just don't have the energy for any of them πŸ₯²

All three of my ebooks are free today! This is the last day that All Roads and Wish Lists are free from multiple platforms, and the Full Moon Problem is available for free (exclusively on Amazon) for one day only as part of the Fantasy Stuff Your Kindle Day event. #MMRomance #TransBooks

Did you know today's Stuff Your Kindle With Fantasy? If you're worried about the blackout - remember these books are FREE. You're supporting the authors by downloading, not 'zon. The event was planned for a long time, long before the blackout was announced. Please consider supporting the SWF event 🩷

Someone on Tumblr made a list of all the queer books that are free as part of this event today: www.tumblr.com/kay-claire/7...

Can Dimension20 fans please tell me which Dimension20 show I should start with. I have only watched Dungeons and Drag Queens and Burrow's End.

A reminder that if you join my patreon, DO NOT JOIN ON THE IPHONE APP!!! They charge an extra 30% that goes only to apple AND they hold the whole payment for 75 days πŸ‘» Switch to your browser on your phone or computer to sign up and then you can access my page thru the app like normal!

CUUUUUTE

Pedro Pascal responding to transphobia on social media: β€œI can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist.” (via @charliejane.bsky.social) [capitalfm.com]

Commission your friends for art. Give them dollars (this makes them happy) in exchange for drawing you like (this makes you happy). This is symbiosis. This is a healthy ecosystem. Support your friends. Support art. Support your friends' art.

I had a tattoo appointment today and I told my tattoo artist that I'm moving at the end of March, and long story short I now also have a tattoo appointment for tomorrow as well lmao
