Sabotaging my career, stepping into my comfort zone.

none of that pasteurized boxed stuff, only freshly pressed juice for me

Valuing yourself by the danger you pose to the world is so terminally machist.

No, we don’t.

And thank U for your art! I don’t know how literal the metaphor is hehe. Just been feeling too like I’m floating lately and slowly realizing this is just how Earth’s gravity feels now without all the weight. I can’t say if we’re talking of the same things but it’s a good feeling so I’m taking it in.

will White risk it all and grasp the Lilac swirls? or will they leave them be, from the fear of falling down?

There are many Lilac swirls. I very much doubt White would fall down from extending a hand towards one and seeing how it feels. All in due time.

maybe the swirls invite anyone? but what if it’s something special for them in particular?

Maybe the swirls realize White is one of them. Maybe it’s an invitation to all who do. Maybe it’s a personal invitation. The sense of belonging is so beautiful nevertheless.

Oh no I don’t have a special someone yet but I’m trying very hard to change that. Opening new opportunities for friendship and being told nice things I’ve never been told ever is already enooormous though.

Oh gosh the “i want both now”. I’ll need to ponder on this. I’ve had a lot of pleasant tears lately, from relief maybe? About recognizing what I want, who am I, and just letting myself be, and be seen. The want for cuddles remains so real though. Music and washing dishes are very tears prone at the moment lol. So yes of course I relate a lot to your creations and I expect many little hearts are touched too.

Please don’t show this to my boss.

Aw your comics are so good, hard to pin down what’s the exact theme but so so cohesive at the same time. Acts of love? Care? Romance? No matter, you clearly have something precious to share and you’re doing it beautifully~

That moment when you realize you are seen, you are liked and are worth it for someone. Maybe I’m reading too much into it. I had such moments recently and your comic reminded me. Your stuff is so full of the best feelings Maria.

aw gosh the care, the assertiveness… the leaning~ i feel the sparkles. this is beautiful

Bitching on corporate overlords is good, clean fun.

What season? Cats are longer in the summer.

I don’t think it’s safe to stare at this pic too long.

When the chipboard slop is all done falling apart you can try some kinds of used markets. Sometimes you can get some sweet orphaned forever wooden furniture on the cheap.

Nah I’m alright.

That can’t be right

So far my little part of the world has been blessed with mild weather this season. People are complaining about the rain which I find dumb considering the last five summers were brutal droughts. The snails are having a blast.

Take care of yourself, stay cool and hydrated! Your content rocks :3

Do you have evidence of leaders in the organization making hard choices to do the right thing?

This went from a hard yes to a soft no and I don’t know if it’s soul crushing but it feels super crappy.
