I've been writing a comic for a while called Cloud Drive. It's set in the modern world (more or less) and follows the trails and tribulations of a teenager who tries to find a missing plane. Here's the synopsis if you're interested!
No evidence of missing plane UA 4049 has been found for over a week: no wreckage, no bodies, no witnesses, nothing… Until high schooler, Kian Lotfi, finds something that could flip the whole case around. Now, the responsibility lands on Kian to figure out the suspects’ next target and prove to the FBI working on this case that these criminals are an even bigger threat to national security than they expect.

INTIMACY
•intimacy• [noun]
close familiarity or friendship; closeness
Something of a personal or private nature
It is my belief that on this journey through life the Universe often presents us with an opportunity to redefine beliefs and ideas we maybe once had drawn a very concrete definition for. These ideas must be reconsidered for the purpose of growth and maturation.
Personally, I am never too fixed on an idea, or particular theory as I believe most things are fluid in their ability to be redefined or change. However, like many people, I suffer from the human urge to become complacent within my behavior pertaining to ideas and concepts that suit my current self. As the applied action of intimacy was no longer serving my current self, I was suddenly traversing through yet another existential crisis which was now assisting with a new cycle of growth and maturation it was time for me to adjust to.
Within this generation, we have seemingly managed to take sacred action such as intimacy between two or more people, and trivialize it to only be applied to romantic or sexual intimacy. Doing so neglects the beauty of intimacy required to sustain relationships with our close family and friends. For reasons only a licensed mental health practitioner is qualified to handle, my frustration with the current state of intimacy within my sexual and romantic relationships currently made me cringe from the lack thereof. I often incorporate the help of my spirituality to assist in this processing of emotions when going through an existential crisis of such depth. This time the need to manifest more attention to my personal relationships was requested; I believe I needed to be more appreciative of said relationships and moreover how to be better at sustaining these intimate relationships.
As with most things within my path of growth this request of attentiveness to personal intimacy has been presenting itself to me throughout the month of May. After a period of deep introspection and silent observation, I welcomed the May Day event as a moment to experience the sweetness of closeness within my community.
For quite some time I had been brooding- particularly in response to the betrayal and abuse I had experienced with those with whom I thought were my community members aiming for similar objectives. It had been quite some time since I felt safe and comfortable in the same group that I had shared activism space with. During this time I was realizing I was feeling a similar feeling pertaining to my romantic relationships; again things that a licensed mental health practitioner is certified to handle.
As usual, along with my photojournalism images of the May Day event, I took the opportunity to capture some B-Sides of the day's activities.
•I N T I M A C Y•
I looked around in the circle of people that occupied a corner of the lawn within Maria Hernandez Park, people I had only known for a little over 2 years, and yet many of whom I have shared many close and deeply private moments collectively and individually. It was in that moment that the idea of restructuring this idea of intimacy presented itself; the whole moment within itself was deeply intimate. JP a comrade and fellow photojournalist arrived and the electricity of shared intimacy grew as someone we all loved deeply surprised us after being away for so long. Something in that moment was like a bolt of lightning hitting me as a reminder that I have been surrounded by the intimacy of my community this whole time.
Although the conclusion to this path I'm walking within this shift in the idea of intimacy hasn't yet presented itself. I look into my archives of B-Sides and remember I have been documenting the art of intimacy this whole time.

One of my favorite paintings, "As The Caged Bird Sings," is currently on exhibit at Adelman Fine Art. I'll be live painting at the gallery this Saturday from 3-6 for ArtWalk San Diego, so come on out and join the festivities. 
This painting is dedicated to my best friend and muse, Deanne Hastings, who tragically went missing in 2015 and has yet to be found. It is suspected that she was murdered but there has been no closure to date. Deanne once asked me to do a huge painting with a giant pair of wings. This is my tribute to her. 
You can find canvas prints for this piece and more about the story at CariniArts.com

In May 2021, an explosion outside a high school in Kabul, Afghanistan, killed at least 70 people and wounded more than 150, many of them teenage girls leaving class. Visual storyteller Kiana Hayeri took this photograph in the basement of an unfinished mosque where neighbours and relatives of two of the victims have gathered to support their mothers through their grief

Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!
Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*
Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!
#original#the last unicorn#tlu#peter s beagle#molly gru#schmendrick#schmendrick the magician#two of my favorite characters in anything right there in the center of the story! and I'm glad I saw the film first!#my reading ability has diminished due to trauma disability etc. but it seems like having a visual reference actually really helped!#no wonder i only ever want to read fan fic! turns out reading is not actually Superior to other types of Storytelling. it's just different.#to say otherwise is snobbishness I have been eminently guilty of in my life!#but like it is easier for me to consume tv and movies and that is fine actually. also that's why I'm doing a graphic novel lol#because i wanted to make something i would actually be able to read if i found it at a library. altho the audio book IS gonna be bomb#the audiobook is for visually impaired readers and anyone who wants or needs it! accessible stories for everyone! yeah!!#my gender was already transed but now I've gained an ADDITIONAL gender! which one? I'll never tell 😘#i am so powerful i have so much fuckin gender. my wife has no gender. and she is equally as powerful.#and also she has STUDIED THE BLADE#mostly zoro's blades from One Piece#normally YouTube recommends me shit movies like idiocracy or smth this is like if every day ur cat brought you a piece of rotten food and#then one day it brings you a BEAUTIFULLY ANIMATED TALE FEATURING MY BELOVED TWINK FUCK-UP WIZARD FRIEND AND MY ALL-TIME HOMEGIRL MOLLY GRU#and also it's soft and beautiful and funny and fucking weird!! i wrote melodies to the songs in the books on my ukulele

Been seeing a lot of takes like this and I appreciate where they're coming from, it's a good idea to be especially wary of excessive criticism aimed at things made by and for women but like. Yes you do see hot takes about Marvel, and the lego movie, and Batman films. To say this with your whole chest you have to spend zero time in leftist circles and pay zero attention to criticism of big blockbuster movies or just. Yknow. Lie to make your point.
More relevantly you see this specific thing happen whenever a big corporation makes flaccid listless gestures towards progressivism for the sake of their bottom line. Because the end result is always too toothless to have meaning for leftists while still being offensive enough to right wingers simply by virtue of having a lot of women or gay people or people of colour in it to have them frothing at the mouth. Sexist dudebros hating Barbie doesn't shield it from feminist critique, they were going to hate it whether it succeeded or failed but it can still fail.
And as nice as the big feminist speach in barbie is I have to wonder if its primary purpose is to actually uplift women so much as it is to shut down criticism of the movie and the brand. If even Barbie can't escape this criticism what hope is there for the rest of us, right? Except Barbie isn't a real woman, she's a plastic toy made in sweatshops by a brand attempting to rehabilitate a progressive image out of a long history of being criticized for its portrayal of women because that's what will boost sales. This movie is part of that, and pointing that out is important.
You don't need my or ayone's permission to enjoy the Barbie movie, if it was meaninful to you I'm genuinely happy for you, if you just thought it was fun and funny, great! But to act like the only reason to criticize the movie is sexism is glossing over some very real problems and like, straight up falling for the corporate propaganda. Yes every big blockbuster movie actually does get criticized bc they are political tools that serve the people in power. Not every big blockbuster is also being sold as a feminist masterpiece though, so you probably are gonna hear it more about Barbie. You'll also hear it more about Barbie bc people are hypercritical of women and that will motivate some critique, but to assume bad faith is to shut out conversations that need to happen.

Hidden California: Visiting The Salton Sea
The Salton Sea After reading about the worst environmental disaster in California history, I was fascinated about the concept of rapid change and how the Salton Sea went from a tourism hotspot to an abandoned area. Bombay Surf In the 1950s, the Salton Sea was a very attractive and famous travel destination, in the 1970s the lake started to experience contamination from agricultural runoff, the…

I'm going for gold, lads, lasses, and other gendered classes!
Do you like visual novels? Do you like stories about the fey? Do you like your entertainment as EDUTAINMENT?
IF SO, BOY HOWDY DO I HAVE A VISUAL NOVEL PROJECT FOR YOU.
youtube
The Good People (Na Daoine Maithe) is a lore-rich and choice-driven romantic visual novel inspired by Irish mythology. Play as an Irish tenant farmer from the mid-19th century, whose path becomes inexplicably entwined with fairy affairs after getting robbed by the roadside and lured into the mythic and war-torn world of Tír na nÓg: A once unified land, now divided into the Seelie and Unseelie Courts. Will you escape with your stolen belongings? Or does fate have something else in mind?
OKAY, BUT WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU, SEEKER OF SEROTONIN?
6 wonderful romantic/PLATONIC options (each love interest can be pursued entirely platonically)
a visual novel whose philosophy is less on anxiety-inducing, arbitrary choices to get a good or bad ending, but instead focuses on if you, the player, are interacting with a character in a healthy or unhealthy manner, leading to player freedom and choice
intelligent and reflective writing that is reflected within character moments and dialogue
and MORE! (so much more!)
WHERE CAN I FIND MORE OUT ABOUT THIS GAME?
Here is the bio link, which has links for the indie developers' social media accounts (Tumblr, Twitter, Discord Server) along with the link to their official website, which has a deep dive into every main NPC and the philosophy of the game. The demo is out now and free on both Steam and Itch.io
(As an official statement: I am in no way employed or affiliated with Moirai Myths and I was not approached in any way to make this post. This is me being a feral fan on main, blazing this post)
EDIT:
HELLO EVERYONE! DID YALL KNOW THE KICKSTARTER FOR THIS GAME JUST LAUNCHED TODAY? NOW YOU DO! MORE DETAILS AND MORE FUN TO BE HAD!
They’re doing voice acting reveals this month, along with an early bird special to see blushing/flirty emotes!
EDIT THE SECOND:
WE HAVE REACHED FULL FUNDING WITH THE GAME! Which is excellent, because it means that my little hyperfixation is gonna be made!
However!
It would be very nice if we could reach some of the stretch goals (which go into depth here: x). Not only are they fun (MC customization, a switch port, expanded voice-over work, more sprites, mini-games, side stories), but I think they'd spark a lot of serotonin for folks playing (myself included).
If this post has interested you at all, please, please, please check out the Kickstarter above! Thank you!
EDIT THE THIRD
Since this is still getting notes beyond my wildest dreams:
Hello! It's been a while! The Kickstarter ended a bit ago (I did not update this post when it did end, due to being ecstatic to how much the project managed to get: 130% funding!), but development is ongoing and strong! The first two routes are in development right now. Please keep tuned at @moiraimyths for official development updates!
