I've been into spike hellis ever since I saw them open for F242 years ago, but haven't been super impressed by their album releases until now. This record is excellent! The production is very minimal and pared-back and it harkens back to early 80s industrial. Give it a listen, it's really good!
An excerpt from a book I'm working on about my time working at a kink cafe in San Francisco. You could get away with a lot in that place but being shitty and also jorkin' it under the table would not fly 🚫
I've been working on this project for about 2 years and if you're interested you can see more on my Instagram and my patreon!
Get ready to cry! I wrote this page after my cat d00d passed away in 2024. I'll copy what I put in the post at the time here:
How do you begin to write a eulogy for the greatest love you’ve ever known? For the best friend you’ve ever had, who you spent almost every day with for half of your life?
When I met you, it was 2008. I was 16. My cat Ringo had just died unexpectedly and I was distraught. A couple weeks later, my dad took me to an adoption event to look at some kittens. We left with two cats that day, and I remember sitting in the pen and bonding instantly with one of them and I can’t remember which it was. But I know in my heart, it must have been you. Love at first sight.
We tried out a couple names for you, but d00d was the one that stuck. My brother and I were really into The Big Lebowski at the time, so we called you the d00d. It suited how silly and laid-back you were.
Through the next 16 years, you were with me through a great adventure. We lived in many different houses, with different people and different animals. Through it all, we had each other. You were my constant companion, and I was your whole world. Sometimes you would look at me, and i’d look at you, and i could feel the love like a physical thing between us. Every night I’d fall asleep with you on my shoulder, and every morning I’d wake up to you meowing in my face. Every time I traveled I would be so excited to come home to you. You were the highlight of every day.
You gave me so much. Through all of my trials and troubles, my bad days and panic attacks and depression, you were there to make me smile. You were so funny, and so sweet, and so full of love. You had huge personality and you were everyone’s instant best friend. I feel so, so, so lucky to have been your person.
I will always remember you and the love we shared, the most simple, uncomplicated, unconditional and joyful love I’ve ever known. You were the light of my life for 16 years, my reason to wake up in the morning and come home at night.
Thank you.
For the joy. The laughter. The love.
Thank you for your life.

Some pages I wrote about the difficulty of getting out of sex work based on my experience a few years ago. I'm in a stable job now but it took a while and I feel some kinds of ways about my decision to pursue sex work in my 20s instead of going for a more traditional career. I wouldn't say I regret it, I just wish I planned better for my exit!
Big shout out to all the SWers out there, especially the folks who have managed to make it a long term career, that shit is not easy and y'all have my utmost respect, genuinely!
Drew this page about 2 years ago in the middle of a huge personal transformation. The dust has mostly settled since then but sex is still.....tricky 😅 I know there's gonna be some folks out there who can relate!
A little nervous to post this one to reddit but it did well on Instagram and I know there are people out there who need to see it. You're not alone! I wrote a lot more about this topic on Patreon, link in the comments! Also, wish I could join in the discussion but my comments are shadowbanned in this subreddit 😅 Patreon is /nakedgirlcomics and Instagram is @turbocxnt!
