A comic about looking after yourself, your loved ones and your mental health during the tough times ahead.
I started this last November, when people were hurting so hard it was difficult to function – I’m sorry it took me so long to finish it.  

Everyday activism you can do when you feel powerless.
And when you feel stronger, Punch back.

This is really important for those of us with chronic illness, mental illness, and disabilities, for whom marching is a dream, for whom calling politicians is an impossibility. I am queer, mentally ill and developmentally disabled. Any of these alone makes me marginalised in a society that lauds the healthy, the efficient, the successful, the conventional. Just by existing, just by refusing to pretend I’m anything but what I am, I am fighting. And by stimming in public, by wearing clothing that is both comfortable and reflective of my political beliefs, by holding hands with my partner, I am being the change I want in the world. I am carving a niche for myself and taking the space people would deny me. I am fighting for those who cannot do as much as I can.
