Well, YOU aren’t the doctor, are you?

If you’ve ever wondered if healthcare could be any worse in this country, well, it can.

While the majority of doctors in the U.S. are already unqualified to provide true medical care, some of them also have god complexes. Forgoing the care of their patient, these self-appointed gods care only for themselves and the satisfaction of exerting power and control over their patients. I guess the power to save lives often comes at the cost of one’s soul.

Oh but don’t worry, you can just file a complaint with the DOH or something, and they’ll lose their license for sure, right? Nope. Sorry. Most complaints are never investigated, and those that are typically conclude with no action.

At least we can live healthy and avoid doctors by eating properly, exercising regularly, and staying away from bad habits? Yes and no. Firstly, some folx can’t avoid going to the doctor, such as if you have asthma, diabetes, cancer, or another permanent life-changing condition. For these folx, not seeing a doctor regualrly can be deadly. Secondly, if you had the privelige of being born healthy and staying that way, trying to live a healthy lifestyle can help, but it won’t do anything about the dirty air we breathe, nor will it remove the acid, plastic, and chemicals that are inevitably in our food, soil, and water. So kind of yes, mostly no.

To all the fellow spoonies who have to deal with this stuff on a regular basis, I feel ya, you’re not alone. This is my (Aya) actual doctor, I have eighty actuations left on my inhaler, we have no insurance, and no money, so I’m just hoping that asthma isn’t so bad when unmanaged (saying this knowing that people regularly die from inability to access a rescue inhaler 😅 ).

Luna is her own kind of flower.

Luna was just trying to walk down the sidewalk when a swarm of bees suddenly comes after her. Seeing the bright pink shirt Luna is wearing, the bees think she is a flower and naturally want to snack on her pollen. So they chase her. As Luna runs away, she screams “I am not a flower!” But Luna is indeed a flower. 🌸

Have you ever had a scary run-in with bees? What’s your strategy?

Luna’s just trying to help a customer find their way when suddenly… the linguistics police arrive. The customer starts guessing where Luna is “from” based on word choice: first “the 405” (California??), then “pop” (Midwest??). But here’s the thing: being autistic means sometimes we pick up words and phrases from people around us, TV, or just because they sound right. It doesn’t always mean anything about where we’re from, it just means we’re autistic. Instead of explaining, Luna does the sensible thing: pulls out an axe and tells them to run. Problem solved. 😅🪓

Do you have any words or phrases you use that everyone assumes mean you’re from somewhere else?

Luna wouldn’t survive in the wild.

Luna was just trying to get some pain relief with some Alka Fizz. They’re these little tablets that fizz up in water and they’re meant to reduce pain. But she keeps them right next to her rubbing alcohol wipes, which proved to be a problem in this comic.

Attention and focus are already hard for Luna. She has ADHD and chronic pain, both of which make mental tasks more difficult. Most of the time she does just fine on her own, but occasionally she makes mistakes, like putting an isopropyl wipe in her cup of water instead of Alka Fizz.

Good thing her partner caught her before she drank it… this time…

If you’re like Luna, make sure to pay extra special attention when dealing with medical products.

Yeaaa nope.

Love when people try to guess why we use mobility aids. It’s a fun little game where we get to either explain the sotuation and have them criticize us or we don’t explain and they criticize us anyways.

Luckily, Luna didn’t have to go through that. A sinple “no” with no other explanation went a long way for her.

The startegy here is to just answer as vaguely as possible and stare at them. Just stare. Stare like you’re waiting for the next guess, or like you’re waiting for them to follow up. It works like a charm.

Speaking up can be damaging.

Luna tried to say something. She knew what was happening to her was wrong. She sought help. But instead of care or assistance, she was met with gaslighting, disbelief, and criticism.

This is not a unique experience. It’s far too common. And after it happens so many times, people like Luna learn that it’s better to just live in silence, keep their head down, and just try to survive.

We, as a society, need to be better to folx who have had unjust experiences in their lives. And that starts with us, as individuals.

Sending love to all those out there who have had similar experiences. We see you, even if it feels like no one does.

Drop a ❤️ if you resonated with this post in any way.

Life is good when you find your people.

In this comic, Luna, her partner, and a couple friends are watching a movie. One scene comes up that garners a few different reactions; some are swooning, some aren’t feeling anything at all. And that’s the beauty of being in a queer-affirming space: no one has to explain themselves, feel broken, or be told that their experience is “too much” or “not enough.” You just get to be who you are, no questions asked.

A little crush. A big “meh.” A total lack of romantic or sexual interest. It’s all welcome, and it’s perfectly valid ❤️

This one is for our ace, aro, demi, and spectrum babes out there. You belong just as much as anyone else 🏳️‍🌈

It wasn’t an issue with the sound system.

This comic is about bullying. Not the outright, angry kind of bullying, but the little things here and there that drive you mad, then being gaslit about it. It’s things like your personal belongings frequently going missing or being vandalized, your work area getting trashed every time you look away, and yes, your playlist getting deleted. Then, when you try to address the issue, your told that it’s nothing and to just get over it.

Sure, it’s subtle, but it’s so damaging, especially when it’s happening everywhere you go. Over time, you turn into a person that is hyperaware, overly cautious, and hyperfixated on your own peace to the point where you don’t have any peace anymore.

If you’re going through this or have in the past, we see you. You’re not alone. You deserve a life where you feel valued and respected, not minimized and humiliated.

Drop a ❤️ to spread some love to people who are going through bullying.

To our followers: we will be posting a bit less than usual, as our financial situation has become quite precarious and we need to work more. But don’t worry, we’ll still try to post as much as we can. Our goal is to make art full-time one day, but until we get there it’s just going to be up and down. That’s life. What can we say? If you want to support our us, the best way is to join our Patreon. You’ll get to see new comics as they come out, exclusive content, and the option to get a few stickers twice a year. We appreciate every bit of support. You folx make our world go ‘round, and we’re so grateful to have this opportunity to share our art with you all. Thank you ❤️🥰

In a salon that claimed “haircuts for everyone,” four different stylists said no to cutting one man’s hair: a polite, hopeful black man.

He didn’t “seem aggressive,” or ask for a complicated style, he just asked for a haircut.

This comic is based on a real event from my time as a hair salon receptionist here in Washington. The experience never left me, especially because this state is supposed to be one of the most progressive states in the country.

People love to make excuses. They say “maybe she didn’t know how to cut textured hair.” But she did. And so did everyone else I asked. I would know cause it was my job to know. I WAS THE FLIPPIN’ RECEPTIONIST. I SCHEDULED ALL THE HAIRCUTS.

This Juneteenth, we’re remembering that racism doesn’t always come dressed in slurs or violence. Sometimes it’s passive denial of service, even sometimes with a smile.

We see it. We remember. And you better believe we speak on it.

Because black lives matter every day, not just when it’s convenient to say so 🖤✊🏽

For anyone wondering, yes I told the manager. No, they didn’t do anything about it or even investigate. They just made the same old excuses that are always made.

Sometimes, the things people call love or friendship are the same things that hurt us most.

This comic is about that confusion. That deep bone-level dissonance when someone insists they care for you while causing pain, control, fear, or lasting harm.

For so many of us who grew up in abusive environments, the lines between love and harm were blurred from the start. The people who should have protected us were the ones teaching us that “this is family,” “this is friendship,” “this is romance,” or “this is pleasure,” when what they really meant was: this is what I need you to accept in order to stay close to me.

And the worst part is that sometimes we believed them.

Luna stands in for so many of us in this moment. For survivors, for neurodivergent and disabled kids who were isolated and gaslit, for queer and trans folks who were told their pain was just sensitivity, for people of color whose boundaries were crushed by generational trauma, for anyone who has ever had to unlearn the idea that being hurt was part of being loved.

If this comic hits close to home, we hope you know: you are not alone. Love should never make you question your worth or safety. You deserve gentleness, consent, joy, and healing. And no matter what anyone told you, you were never too much.

Ever wish you had goggles that could see invisible disabilities? Luna did. So she built some. And she found what she was looking for: invisible disability ghosts. They’re not the spooky kind, just quiet reminders that people around her are carrying things you can’t always see. Chronic pain, mental illness, neurological differences, trauma, fatigue. They don’t show up on the outside, but they’re very real.

This comic is a reminder that people are fighting battles you’ll never notice unless you’re looking. It’s the person who needs the elevator, the one who avoids eye contact, the one who looks fine but sits down a lot. We see you ❤️

Everyone deserves a little more patience, a little more understanding, and maybe a stylish pair of empathy goggles 🛠️👓👻

Some days, being out in public feels exhausting.

You’re just trying to exist; get your groceries, grab a coffee, go for a walk. But the looks come anyway.

When you’re trans, queer, disabled, a person of color, or just visibly “different” in any way, you start noticing these looks. You feel them. It’s not paranoia.

Luna knows this feeling all too well. And so do many of us. It can feel like you’re carrying a sign you didn’t ask for. Some days you can brush it off. Other days, it chips away at you, moment by moment.

We wanted to make this comic for everyone who has walked through the world feeling watched instead of seen. For everyone who’s had to build armor just to go outside. You shouldn’t have to. And yet, here we are.

You’re not alone. You are worthy of safety, peace, and comfort in your body and in public spaces. And one day, we’ll make that world together. 💜🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈✊🏽

✨ Sometimes the hardest questions are the ones we can’t answer yet, especially during Pride Month when so much of the focus is on visibility and identity.

For so many of us in the queer community, figuring out our gender and sexuality isn’t a one-and-done process. It’s an evolving journey, and it’s okay if you don’t have all the answers right now. You don’t owe anyone a clear label or an explanation, and your identity is valid even if it feels messy or uncertain.

We created this comic to remind anyone in that part of their journey that you’re not alone. Questioning is still queer. Uncertain is still valid, and no one gets to rush your process. You deserve the time and safety to discover what feels true to you.

🌈 Wherever you are on your journey, we’re sending love your way. Take your time. You are enough, exactly as you are. 🌈

If this resonates, please share it! Someone else out there needs to hear this too.

Trauma doesn’t just haunt you when you’re awake, sometimes it follows you into your dreams.

In this comic, Luna wakes up mid-flashback from a night terror, spiraling into a panic attack. But with calm care, her partner checks in, helps ground her, and makes sure she gets what she needs. This one is heavy, but it’s real. Because trauma begets trauma, and gentleness is a powerful antidote.

💬 Have you experienced this too? You’re not alone—share if you feel safe.

Getting in touch with your body sounds nice… until you remember why you stopped being in touch in the first place.

Luna’s body awareness level is dangerously high; her tolerance for it is non-existent.

Also, shoutout to anyone who’s ever had a mindfulness practice unlock a core memory you didn’t ask for. We see you.

Have you ever tried mindfulness or body awareness and instantly regretted it? Tell us your most startlingly dysphoric moment in the comments — we’re collecting data for science. Unhinged science.

Luna’s partner walks in expecting a normal afternoon, but Luna is over here summoning winds, channeling spirits, casually rewriting the laws of physics.

What’s the most unexpected thing you’ve walked in on your partner doing?

Luna opened up about all her symptoms, trauma, and chronic pain… and the acupuncturist hit her with “your pain is spiritual.”

It’s one thing to be open-minded, but when you’re barely surviving, that kind of comment can sting.

Pain is real, whether it’s in the body, the spirit, or both. You deserve care that sees the whole you.

Sometimes the worst things happen and there’s no deeper reason. No lesson to be learned. No cosmic path that made the pain “worth it.” They just happened, and they shouldn’t have.

In this comic, Luna listens to three different people share real, painful experiences: struggling to find work, surviving abuse, and living with trauma. Then someone tries to wrap it all up with, “Everything happens for a reason.” It’s meant to comfort, but more often than not, it comforts the speaker, not the person hurting. It’s a way to soften the discomfort of witnessing someone’s pain, especially if you’ve never faced it—or even if you have and haven’t fully allowed yourself to feel it. But denying the weight of trauma, yours or someone else’s, isn’t healing. It’s erasure.

If you’ve ever been told your pain made you stronger when you just needed someone to say, “I believe you,” this comic is for you. You’re not stronger because of what happened—you’re stronger in spite of it. And you deserved better in the first place.

Let people heal without forcing a silver lining.

Luna just wanted to help someone out before their job interview. That’s it. She was doing her job—and trying to give someone a shot at their future. But when the stylist refused to cut his hair right in front of him, all Luna could do was watch as that opportunity slipped away.

Discrimination doesn’t always come with slurs or shouting. Sometimes it shows up in whispers and side-eyes. In the refusal to serve someone. In the “not my problem” shrugs. In the silence that follows.

This comic is based on a real experience—and no, no one was held accountable. The salon kept its “welcoming” branding, and the stylists faced no consequences. And the worst part? That man walked out with his head down, like he was the problem.

These moments stay with us. For the people like him, and for the rest of us who try to hold the line, only to realize the line was never drawn in our favor.

We’re still fighting. And we’re still here.

If you’ve been through something like this—whether you were the one targeted or the one left powerless watching—drop a comment. Let’s make space to say we see you.

Waking up with chronic pain be like: Stretch. Regret. Repeat.

You know that moment when your alarm goes off, your cat’s doing yoga at the foot of the bed, and you’re like, “Yeah, I can stretch too”? And then your whole spine sounds like a bag of microwave popcorn and you’re just lying there whispering “ow ow ow ow” like it’s a morning mantra. Luna really just tried to join in on the morning stretch vibes and got hit with the full Aspirin Flakes experience. That bonus panel is sponsored by “please let me function today” and “what if pain, but breakfast?”

For anyone who’s ever pulled a muscle just by existing—or had your joints file a formal complaint because you dared to move—you are not alone. Stretch responsibly, folks.
