I created a character for the #drawthisinyourstyle challenge on instagram! Basically the idea is that I’m inviting other artists to draw this character in their own way :) I love what people have created so far!! Take a look!! https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/loishredraw/

That’s a link to a kickstarter, you should back it if you like cool comics!
See process sketches, line art, and a close up of that Uhura tattoo on my Patreon (in a public post!)
I love adoption stories. My mom adopted 3 kids and she never let us or anybody else make a difference out of the 6 of us. My biological brother had the same name as my adopted brother and people could not understand why my mom would name 2 sons in succession, Johnny. But we wouldn’t explain it. Adopt kids. Make it normal. Not the the thing u do simply when u cant.
This will melt a heart of stone.
^^^^ THAT PERSON UP THERE
please normalize the fuck out of adoption, i’ve given speeches and lectures and written papers about all the misconceptions and fears and rumors that plague the issues of adoption and make this perfectly normal, healthy, happy thing a rare occurrence in our society and that is sad and wrong
adoption is not “giving up” on a child, adoption is not a last resort, adoption is not just for certain types of families
please normalize adoption
Also please normalize adopting teenagers. I’m not saying you shouldn’t adopt young children and babies, but there are so many teens out there that just don’t get adopted because of their age. So please normalize adopting teens!
I hate adding on to long posts, but as someone who spent time in foster care growing up I have to chime in. Foster parents are amazing, and so are adoptive parents. My foster parents, brothers and sisters made a huge impact on who I am. Please adopt. Adopted kids are not worth less than blood relations. Stop that line of thought.

Bad people can be nice, funny, smart and talented– and still bad.
It’s the oddest thing for me, to hear people offer the anecdote:
“but he was such a nice guy!”
As if good and bad only exist on separate planes.
Growing up, we are fed this lie that “evil” looks and behaves in only one way, across the board and in every setting.
We don’t see the bad guy coming home and tucking his kids in. We don’t see the evil villain putting on makeup to get ready for work.
We don’t see the selfie before the mugshot.
Bad people can be nice, funny, smart and talented– and still bad; And sometimes, those redeeming qualities aren’t enough.
