Sorry for the missed update last week. My buffer is not as robust as it is when I don't have a day job. Sometimes, I get down on myself for not being as productive, but then I remind myself that time and energy are finite and it's normal to do less of one thing when you're doing more of another. Rose didn't have to get a new job because the underground resistance colony is sponsoring her and her family, and they don't leave old or disabled people behind even if Rose wasn't a

We should all be allowed to be soft. It's cruel that these times force us to be hard, but we must fight so future generations can have a lasting softness that lasts their whole, beautiful lives. Also, that Tetris thing is real. Games like that can distract the psyche away from filing the memories in the "you'll have flashbacks of this for the rest of your life" part of the brain. We live in a society that is constantly traumatizing oppressed people every day. No wonder games

"The paradox of tolerance" is a philosophical concept that posits that by extending tolerance to the intolerant, those intolerant people will just end up hurting the people that the tolerant want to protect. Fighting monster DOESN'T make you a monster yourself. The tolerant standpoint is that IF you leave us alone, we will leave you alone. If that social contract is broken, then we get to fight back. For the fascists, the mere EXISTENCE of certain types of people is a problem

I have... a lot more thoughts about this, and originally I wrote them down, but I'm just gonna let the work speak for itself. In summary, trolley problems suck, but avoiding making the choice just means somebody else has to. You can't always expect other people to do it for you, though, and you need to start thinking about what you're willing to do to protect justice in the world, even if that world is far from ideal.

This kill feels... different somehow.

Well, shit.

In this fictional world, they kept making old-school milk cartons. They're made of, like, 100% PFAS though.

Rose has electricity now!

If you can't think of any other reason to stay alive, consider spite. Don't ever do the fascists' job for them.

OMG y'all, I had no idea my buffer had run out! This pages were done ages ago and they were supposed to go out ages ago! Here's 4 pages today, and there will be another 4 pages next week. Then I'll resume the regular 2/week schedule. Thanks for sticking with me through this. Real talk: I have a part time day job again. Returned to the cheese shop, which I love, but which takes a lot of my time and energy. It's also the holiday season, so things have been bananas and I ended u

I really really like page 9's shading a lot. That page was when I was like oh, yes, this is how we're gonna do it.

I really love how Jane and Rose interact. eventually, there's gonna be a lot more characters in this comic and it won't just be the Jane...

I just wanna be clear that while Rose has a lot of internalized fatphobia, I do not share it. I am here to help her work through it. This...

Rose and her family move to the Greenhouse.

The third issue begins! Get ready for Rose's first fight in 20 years. I'm sure it's just like riding a horse, right?

So here's the whole issue and what Rose has been up to since she quit the flower squad. While rereading this myself, I got a bunch of fun new ideas for the future. This series may end up being longer than I thought! My sincerest wish is that by the time this series wraps up, fascism will be defeated in my country and we can see this story as just a story for fun.

A magical transformation, and the first bit of color in the current day timeline. The last couple panels on page 22 are how I feel when I...

Jane thinks it's so wild that nobody else thinks Rose the person and Rose the magical girl look exactly the same. And neither Rose nor...
