The holidays can be hard, but Celeste and their mom always figure it out.
This child wouldn’t allow me to draw in peace unless I was drawing dinosaurs. It’s fine — I’ll just say something queer and relatable.
“Drama! Exciting secrets! Rumors! The GOOD stuff!!”

“ARE YOU F*CKING WITH ME AGAIN???”
When you’re working from home on EXPERT MODE, you have lots of time to chat with your co-workers.
“We honor all the trans folk who paved the way for us, and all the trans folk who died because they didn’t have the safety they deserved.”
“I’m sorry. The last four years have just… destroyed my optimism.”
“Doesn’t that show go against all your values — as queers, as feminists, as people with taste?”
“Safe spaces were never granted to the marginalized. There’s no freedom without fighting.”

When we’re open to it, giving ourselves honest space to roleplay can be pretty powerful stuff.
