It appears that tumblr has nuked 5 of my sideblogs and removed my messaging access with no notice or warning. I sent an appeal yesterday but I haven't heard back yet, so we'll see what happens. I've had one of them since like 2015 or 2016 so I really hope they're not just gone.

Fingers crossed that this is just a glitch that will be resolved shortly, but just in case, you can find me on Instagram, Substack and Bluesky under the username @/parttimereptile. I'm not terribly active on any of them these days — I haven't really posted any of my new work outside of my website in a year or two — but if this blog goes down too and you want to reach me you can find me there.

Update: I have regained messaging access on this blog! But my sideblogs remain terminated so far.

GET URSELF SOME COMICS! HELP OUT SOME PALESTINIAN FAMILIES!

Hello, I have put together a bundle of comics to raise money for those affected by the ongoing g3n0c1de. There are some really really wonderful comics in here by so many amazing artists and 100% of the proceeds go to palestinian gofundmes. The comic I have contributed is a 50 page comic I made in 2019 about starman's daughter and her human boyfriend called A Really Big House, which you can currently ONLY buy through this bundle. So get at it.

[ Image Description: The first two images say, "Comics For Gaza" and show the Palestinian flag in front of an olive branch. The third image says, "Over 800 Pages of Comic PDFs!" and shows many screenshots of the aforementioned comic PDFs. The fourth image says that the bundle includes comics by Disa Wallander, Leo Fox, Martin Samways, Christopher T. Falkenberg, B. Skerpan, Nicole Rodriguez, Bells White, Ezra David Mattes, Carta Monir, Rasa Narkunaite, Grace Kroll, Asia Kazub, Leo Covault, Bee McClean, and Sarafina Sherman. The fifth and final image says, "The bundle is £15. Link in bio - comicsforgaza.itch.io. 100% of proceeds go to GoFundMes of Palestinians affected by Israel's genocide via gazafunds.com." End ID. ]

You can get a PDF copy of my comic "Tinderbox" -- a short comic about hooligans and playing peacemaker -- in this bundle, as well as two illustrations that I have not yet published anywhere else!
