Ramsey (aka everydaypants)… have you seen how many notes this has. Queen of Tumblr.
Oh lord. that’s me. -___-
Agh. It’s still going I guess. When I was in Toronto someone came up to me and told me they saw my sleeve on tumblr.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Internet.

Well?
New favorite tattoo. By Robert Ryan at Electric Tattoo in NJ. So fast and a very pleasant person to get tattooed by. Always a bonus.
still applies.
(I drew this for List #15, which is the zine that I drew for a really long time.)
One of my wonderful best friends, chalkylemonade, sent this web comic series to me (x;also linked), and I adore it.
This one is my favorite.
The last page of a 5 page comics I drew years ago - my first EVER paneled comic! I revisited this same story (and redrew it) in my new book Little Fish.
Here’s the newer version (with accurate hair for the time it happened. When I drew it the first time I just drew the hair I currently had, rather than the hair I had during the time the story took place, ha!).
Spoiler: Despite turning him down the first time he asked me on a date, we ended up dating for the better part of 8 years. I also went vegan for six years and ate a lot of cheese-less pizza.
You can pre-order Little Fish now, if you’d like. It comes out in the beginning of September! (Here’s a link to buy it from an indie bookstore rather than from Amazon or Barnes and Noble. I didn’t even know about Indie Bound. Pretty rad!) http://www.indiebound.org/book/9781936976188
So. I wrote this book. And it wasn’t available for sale for a long time. But now you can preorder it and/or other cool stuff like zines/buttons/postcards and fun bigger prizes like balloon twisting lessons or a custom sculpture. My book is about growing up against a landscape of abuse and poverty and coming out as queer in a really small rural town in the religious south. You might like it.
AAAAND … this will be the first title published by Sweet Candy Press as part of Sweet Candy Distro’s NINTH birthday!
If you can contribute, that’s great. If not, maybe you can repost this?
Sara Rose wrote a book and you can preorder it now! Sarah brings you Tazewell’s Favorite Eccentric zine, the Philly Feminist Zine Fest, volunteer shifts at the Wooden Shoe, and bring a large amount of my favorite zine readings to Philly. Sarah works really hard and is a very talented person.

With this new giant plant in my studio and the window I haven’t hung up on my wall yet, it kind of feels like I’m perched in a treehouse.
Whooooooa. Ladyfest is this weekend! Click the above image for all the info. Are you coming? Did you know at least 20 women in Philly have been hard at work for months and months putting together this incredibly well-organized event? The fact that there are that many active, productive women in the Philly DIY scene is something to celebrate in itself. As someone who has been a part of scenes in different cities where women were not made to feel as vital or important (which discouraged them from WANTing to participate - it wasn’t at all that they weren’t interested or motivated enough - I’ve met and worked alongside of some of the most incredible women in Baltimore and Chicago), or at least weren’t always as visible in their roles, it’s needless to say that I’m stoked on Philly and the things that are going on here. Not only do women participate, they’re active, involved, and respected within our community. They help shape the community here. They don’t just participate in one that’s shaped and largely run by men.
Come show your support! It’s not really about whether you’re into the bands that are playing or whether you do or don’t like to attend workshops. It’s just as much about saying “we see what’s happening here and we want it to keep happening, and to happen even more.”
On top of that, it’s a benefit for really important organizations in Philly, Project SAFE and Women In Transition.
I’ll be doing a workshop on autobio comics tomorrow at noon with Liz Prince. I’ll also be running the Ladyfest merch table tonight as a volunteer, and hanging out for most of the weekend.
Also, read this article that came out yesterday! It’s great.
