My name is Bijhan Agha. I'm an autistic trans Uruguayan of Iranian descent. The editor of my comic is my disabled nonbinary husband, RaeRae Sachs. We love science fiction and fantasy, including superhero media, but it's depressingly cis and het in general. We also love queer media, but a massive amount of it is about suffering and oppression. We wanted to make stories about queer joy and triumph in a world full of fantastic creatures and amazing powers.

Kobra Olympus is a soft-spoken transgender Muslim woman in Seattle in 2015. She was contacted by Human time travelers from the 161st Century, recruited into the Time Wars: an endless conflict between Humanity and Vampirekind for the fate of the galaxy. Using messages from the time travelers, and her high-tech cellphone full of future tech, Kobra lives a second life as the engimatic Agent Tha, Vampire hunter.

Now, Kobra Olympus is in a relationship with Dorothy Diamond, a queer punk woman who is outspoken with a strong moral compass and a ton of confidence. Dorothy is bringing Kobra out of her shell, and Kobra is helping Dorothy see the world with a fresh perspective. Their relationship is important to both of them, but Kobra's duties as Agent Tha take up a great deal of time.

In "Issue #4: Giant Armadillo Attack!", Kobra and Dorothy are surprised by a giant mutant armadillo attacking the city, and meet a humanoid chicken named Jack who explains that this is all part of a sinister plot by the Vampires. Together, the three of them need to figure out how to save the city and rewrite history for the better.

The Kickstarter is to print a First Edition version of the comic with a special border that won't be used in future versions. Rewards include PDFs, as well as physical copies; and back issues so you can catch up with the story so far.

We've met our goal, and our first stretch goal, which means everyone gets a digital art book with all kinds of behind-the-scenes looks at the sketches and designs we used to plan the comics. If we meet our next stretch goal, everyone will also get a short story depicting how Kobra was recruited into the Time Wars.

Please help us reach our next goal at the following link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jamsheedstudios/kobra-olympus-issue-4-giant-armadillo-attack?ref=2p8cw1

The DSA's official stance on Ukraine reads like it was written by a 16 year old who has never interacted with anyone from Central & Eastern Europe and has an extremely poor understanding of the regions history, Russian state ideology, Russian imperialism and the Russkiy Mir, Russian military tactics and hybrid warfare, the role of NATO and the United States from a European POV, and the conduct of Intl. diplomacy. It's honestly mildly racist and wildly Americentric. Still would vote for them, but this is a major stain on the party and double standard compared to their strong stance on Palestine. We don't support imperialist far-right ultra-orthodox ethnonationalist petroleum oligarchies as socialists.

I've been diagnosed as autistic adhder, and yesterday I worked with my friend's aunt to manage something that I can finally declare as a non visible flashback using the 13 flashbacks management pdf from Pete Walker's website, so I can feel safe to say now that I do indeed have cptsd. Anyways I was searching for this book on Amazon cuz I remember it from childhood and when I finally found it I immediately bought it, and now after buying the papers seperately from stationery store I'm starting to rebuild this hobby again and maybe try the ones from the book that I always wanted to make but couldn't due to young age

i not only had to cut off someone i had feelings for for months, but also a good friend of mine. i knew their type and i didn't care if they didn't reciprocate. i never even confessed. what hurt is their plateau in communication after we hung out for the first time in person. i treated you like a friend, was i that unpleasant to be around? we laughed together and everything. and we initially texted everyday for several months.

i made art based on my feelings.

Painted in heavy acrylic, with a palette knife.

Ready for something UNEXPECTED??????

A kind of humour piece about the very common occurrence of well meaning neurotypical people misunderstanding the difference between a comfort zone and literal medically necessary accommodations and tools.

I'm one of those people who has always (and still) struggled to fit in. I've changed careers multiple times, moved dozens of times, and have more hobbies and passions than I want to admit. At this point in my life I feel like I almost need to change skin for each social group I'm interacting with because no two friends or acquaintances are similar enough for the conversation to blend, so I have to juggle everything. But all the change made me resourceful, clever, and adaptive....

I'm an art school drop out. But every time I transition to something new, I return to visual expression - painting, woodworking, multimedia, drawing/sketching. I'll never be great, because my days change so much that I never find the time to hone the craft... But that won't keep me from loving it, despite the imperfections.

Are there any other creative chameleons in this group?

These shy and gentle creatures can be found  all throughout the Galactic Sky Tent. Preferring to stay in solitude, Spell Wurms spend their time terraforming uninhabited dwarf planets. Creating gardens of beautiful crystal caverns and archways. Tree-like plants tangled into huge strange sculptures and stone mountains that looked as though they were pinched and pulled to the sky by beings of some strange and unknown myth. Large and lucid spines of soft and opalescent cartilage weaved their way around the surface of the planet. Twisting and gripping tightly to the lower gem crested cliffs that dotted the terrain. Once satisfied with their work, the Spell Wurms continue on in search of more dwarf planets to terraform that are absent of any fauna or flora. Hundred of thousands of years will pass. In most cases, millions of years will pass before any sort of life finds its way on these shimmering planets. Bizarre critters and wild things that would eventually evolve into beings of flesh and crystal. All those who come from the terraformed worlds shared the same general look; Tripedal with an odd slightly glowing turquoise skin. Insectoid heads with gemstone eyes of every sort of color you could and can’t imagine. With a far forward lean and a circular mouth filled with small teeth that resembled stained and shattered glass. 2 small proboscis on either side of their mouth used for better sensing their surroundings and navigating the pitch black of the deepest gem caves. Many would make their homes within the protruding fleshy chunks of the cartilage spines. Large colonies of the Crystal Folk would eventually dig out the largest of the vertebrae and turn them into massive cities or trading posts for the cosmic outsiders who wished to be within the gardens of the great and benevolent Spell Wurms. 

Im not into football/soccer and I'm not a former president of Brazil, but I could feel the stab right here in my stomach, and it's possible Argentina will win again (possibly surpassing us), but hey, at least it was fun playing, and that what matters
