Welcome! For a brief tour of this blog and my writing, click below:

Here is a pattern that repeats.
Resunotek: Do you need medical attention?
Ichiro: I am able to continue physical exertion.
Resunotek: That’s not what I asked.
I might need to cut one or more iterations of this if it gets too repetitive.
In the meantime, onward and forward!

Stormclouds, “Cassilda’s Song” (from The King in Yellow)
Today’s post is late because I had a family event to attend, but here it is! Also, my car is working. There’s some brief nudity in the video as it goes through the artist’s tarot deck, just so you know. This is my favorite version of Cassilda’s Song, and one of the few human-made versions to be found on the internet.
New comic pages this week! I think we’re five away from the end of this chapter.
Here are all of the petitions I’ve collected to free Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya from Israeli detention. He has been tortured and believes himself to be close to death:
US Campaign for Palestinian Rights
Institute for Middle East Understanding
That’s what I’ve got for you today. I love you; take care of yourselves.

Find someone who looks at you the way Resunotek looks at weird bugs.
There’s a little voice in Ichiro’s head that says, “Wouldn’t it be nice not to have to look strong all the time? To enjoy looking at weird bugs? To let someone take care of you?”
He’s doing his best not to listen to it.

We’re moving on!
This page includes a larger-than-average bug with lots of legs, if that’s something that bothers you.

Good morning!
Well, it happened: the battery in my tablet pen finally died. I sent my husband on a quest for AAAA batteries, which I wasn’t aware existed until owning this pen. They’re very tiny.
So, now that I have those, I’ll have a new page of Last Watch Before Dawn for you tomorrow and Friday. Our protagonists are on the move!
A couple of petitions:
Via Native Organizers Alliance: protect Two-Spirit and trans people, immigrants, bodily and Tribal sovereignty, and organizations receiving federal funding
Via Daily Kos: Close cruel detention centers
Via Demand Progress: Reject $3.3 billion in taxpayer funding for Israel’s military
That’s all for today. Take care of yourselves, and have an excellent week.

I forgot how much fun shadows are.
Our protagonists will be moving on next page, promise. In the meantime, there’s a brief description of imperialist violence as they get ready. In this setting, some people live a very long time, and others don’t. Some memories linger.

This page and the next one were originally one rather crowded page. I decided to split it up to give these thoughts some more room.
To that end, I also didn’t put in any backgrounds to speak of on this page. If it ends up being too empty or too confusing, I will add some in on the next draft.

MAREWREW, “Sonkayno”
Good morning! More Ainu music for today.
I am so sad to have missed the Chicago Pride Book Fest. My car stopped working on the way out of Milwaukee, and despite trying very hard (we got a jump from roadside assistance, but it didn’t help), we ended up having to head home. Fortunately, it managed to make it there (at like 35 miles an hour, max), so we didn’t get stranded. I’m taking it in to the dealership today.
If the newsletter is something that interests you, it’s going to go out at noon tomorrow (Central time). You can put your email in the box at this link. Be sure to check your inbox right after for a confirmation. This edition has garden and cat pictures, plus a bunch of Brooke’s new paintings.
New pages of Last Watch Before Dawn this week. This coming month will finish up Chapter Four, and then we’re on to the last one!
A couple of petitions:
Via Native Organizers Alliance: Save the Equal Access Rule
Via Action Collective: Drop the 30-year charges against ICE protestors
Via All Out: Stop deporting LGBT+ people into danger
That’s all for now. I love you, take care, and have an excellent week.

If you were a fictional samurai (or a fictional knight or some such), and you’d been only around other fictional samurai your whole life, other people might find you very strange.
Slay the Lake Chicago Pride Book Fest is tomorrow! I am so excited to go out and celebrate and talk about books. Noon to 5 at Soundgrowler Brewing, 8201 183rd St, Tinley Park, IL. All ages, all genres, and free admission, plus a drag show! Brooke and I will be outside!

On a journey with a caterpillar egg, a can-do attitude, and the world’s most depressed man. What could go wrong?
