As some of you might recall from this essay, I spent the latter half of 2025 working on a comic for the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum in Savannah, Georgia. Tania Sammons, a curator at the museum who had previously licensed my guide to sailors’ tattoos for a show, wrote to me with an irresistible pitch: four cartoonists would be hired, assigned a vessel from the museum's extensive collection of models, then given six months to produce a short comic for publication in an anthology alongside an accompanying museum display.
How could I say no?
My original brief was to research the Anne, the ship that brought the first colonists to Georgia, but in the aftermath of my dad's death the story took off in directions I couldn't have foreseen.
I'm releasing the whole comic online to coincide with the opening of Drawn to the Sea, the exhibition in Savannah. If you're in the area this week (or anytime over the next nine months!) you can stop in and see all the amazing work that came from myself and fellow artists Avery Hick, Rich King, and Sharon Norwood. Details about the museum show are here.
In the meantime, here's a very personal comic.

In the last post/question, could we have it where Jax steals Ragathas hair and Ragatha is setting there bald with only her bow? *polite blinking with my hands together*
The image of Ragtha with only the fucking bow was just funny to me
Nana Visitor said that whenever they would try to renegotiate contracts between seasons for Deep Space Nine, Paramount would threaten to kill their characters in a shuttle craft accident and refused them.

today's the first day since april that the local ice cream truck has managed to come out without risking death because it has no a/c in the driver compartment.
One of my favorite mean things to do to Mingjue (that I don't inflict on him nearly enough, I should do it more) is to have him be completely aware when he's in the wrong or crossing a line or reacting the incorrect way and not be able to do a damn thing to restrain the impulse to snap and snarl before he can come up with a more appropriate response.
It's the worst around Huaisang because his brother just existing as his brother stirs up his emotions in ways that a stranger or sect disciple or coworker or casual friend doesn't.
He's worried; it comes out as derision or blame and accusations. He wants to praise the good; it comes out as pointing out all the remaining flaws. It's like he's trapped in his own body watching some other asshole puppet it.
By some miracle, Huaisang seems to understand -for now- that what he says isn't what he feels, but other people don't, and they're starting to mimic him and treat his brother -his baby brother!- like shit thinking he approves.
Eventually enough snowflakes become a blanket.
Bite enough times and the wound can't be closed.
He's going to drive his brother away for good at some point if he can't get this under control, and he knows it.
But still his fangs constantly seem to bare themselves whether he wants this or not.

you see an old post of yours thats dated like a month after you got introduced to Media and it says like “huh im kinda liking Blorbo Bingus? but he’s not really my favorite. he seems sillyyy though he’s neat i’m sure he’s nice :)” and you just
so one of the largest open source data communities on the internet, data.world, got bought out by a company called ServiceNow, who has decided to fucking delete all of it by July 11th. they've given users barely any notice, no emails, just a fucking banner at the top and a blog post from June that gives barely a month to download your data before they fucking delete it all.
a bunch of archives of incredibly important government datasets like maternal mortality statistics are about to be deleted forever. in a regime where they're known to fudge numbers, we can't trust a lot of the data coming from them to not be altered. open source backups like those found on data.world are vital to being able to verify that the data coming from our government is still intact and not altered. and they're about to delete all of it.
i don't know if we need to start a petition or what. nobody seems to fucking care. there are millions of users on data.world and yet nobody is raising the alarm bells and it makes me feel like I'm going insane. somebody needs to do something. i don't know what to do. it feels like more and more of this world is being destroyed and dismantled. it's not only US centric data, either! it's all sorts of countries from around the world! and they're about to fucking delete everything.
the only things that won't be deleted are private companies who happen to use the paid version of their platform (which isn't accessible data to the open source community; some people have just been using their service to host their own data on privately)
and the kicker? this announcement was made... via an AI generated blog post. so not even any sort of human touch. just a generic, soulless announcement made by a soulless human about to take a wrecking ball to one of the more important websites that exists on the internet.
an example of some of the things that will be deleted on July 11th:
I haven't, I don't really have a reddit anymore. if somebody else would be willing to do that, that would be great. I'm pretty sure it only lets you post with a certain amount of karma now which is annoying
It looks like this has gotten onto Reddit and people are saving the data - but I can imagine researchers who uploaded assets won’t know this, so hopefully can reach some.
There are over 3500 respectable data repositories on one respectable global registry; to a researcher there’s no point in data existing if not findable; if you’re trying to find a new home for your dataset, start there
I’ve been emailing folks at my university about this today, and no one that I have talked to has been previously aware that this is happening.
Here are some of the scripts I’m using to email University Research Librarians and department chairs/assistant and associate deans who I know oversee faculty who use resources from data.world for their lessons:

Subject: Data.world public archive private purchase and deletion
Hi [Research Librarian or Data Preservation Specialist],
I recently ran into news that data.world has been purchased by ServiceNow, and that ServiceNow is ending public access to these archives July 11th. This is a very large public data archive that I personally used in my undergraduate work several years ago. I don't know much about digital preservation, or how it works at [College Name], but I thought it might be worthwhile to try reaching out.
I wanted to let someone in Libraries know in case current [College Name] students are using data in this archive for their research and need to be notified to save the data elsewhere, and to see if there is anything that [College Name] can do to help with greater preservation efforts.
The archive can be accessed here for now. A login is required, but it is free to set up.
https://data.world/_all/w/datasets
Here is a screenshot with the announcement of the closure of the site. Site users were not notified that access will be ending and would have to be looking at the page regularly to know that access will be terminated.
Please let anyone know who may need to use the site (or who would be interested in trying to preserve it).
Thanks,
[Your Name]
[Your Job/College Affiliation]
[Your Contact Information]
If you know a current department or school within a college that is using data.world archives, this is a template that I am using to contact department chairs or assistant/associate deans of research within specific schools.
Subject: Loss of public data.world access 7/11/26
Hi [Dr. Last Name]
I recently learned that the public data archive data.world has been purchased by ServiceNow and that they are closing public access 7/11/26. [Sentence about how the data is or was used by the department/school you are contacting].
I wanted to make sure this was on your radar in case any students are doing research with this data and need to act quickly to retrieve the data sources they need for their work, similarly for faculty using this data in their research or teaching.

Heralded by great wingbeats and dark ripples across the surface of the lagoon, the Lake Majesty is the ruler of still water. Most large bodies of water across the continent have a resident pairing of these great birds, watching over the glistening waters from the comfort of their enormous regal nests. Two majesties will mate for life, one breeding pair claiming a lake as their “kingdom” and ruling over it across their long lifespan nearing a century. Despite local folklore around these birds usually referring to historical pairs as “The Lord and Lady of the lake”, the lake majesty is a hermaphroditic species, with each individual bearing both sexual organs necessary to reproduce.
During springtime, lakeside adventurers may stumble across the great spawning pools dug by these beasts, a shallow pond that holds the ruling pair’s clutch of nearly a thousand eggs. When the eggs hatch, the young princeling cygpoles have a tough start to life ahead of them. Within the spawning pools it is eat or be eaten, as the half tadpole, half cygnets establish a brutal pecking order beneath the warm waters. When they reach the age that they grow their rear legs, only about four to six princelings will remain. This upbringing leads to a very territorial mindset, and while the young will remain in their parents' kingdoms as they mature, the moment their bright white flight plumage grows in the new majesties will take to the air, looking for a lake to call their own.
The size and power of these beasts, as well as their territorial claim to large bodies of water, has led to a rich folklore from local fisherman and waterside residences. Most who wish to fish within their waters or travel safely by its edge will bring tribute to the ruling majesties. From offerings of food, decorative gifts, to tending to small wounds or repairing the royal nest, local peoples make it known to the majesties that they are a helpful and docile resident of their kingdom. Those who do not bring tribute..? Well, I have yet to hear a firsthand account of a traveller foolish enough to do so, and perhaps that is for good reason.
With how far the young will travel to locate new waters, majesty kingdoms can be found across each corner of the continent, and for each comes its own set of tradition, ritual, and story. There are many notable pairs known that currently reign across our world. The Lord and Lady of Green Crater, the Frozen Queens of the Plateaus, The Darksand Oasis Lovers. A peculiar case is that of the Six Kings of Marrun, six rival kingdoms that have been warring for control of a great crimson lake within the depths of living Marrun, that land that is as much flesh and blood as any other creature. The kings clash on the red waters, white wings flecked with blood, beaks full of teeth, and the night air filled with hisses.
So whenever you next find yourself at the lake’s edge, remember to bring tax to those that rule from a distance. You are a visitor to their land, and while you swim their waters, you are bound to their laws.

I've been reading all the au ideas and there are so many super fun sounding ones. With some of them being pulled from, inspired by, or otherwise tied to other media, do you have a lot of ships that fall into the sangyao box?
🤔 I do! Sometimes the criteria of "What makes them sangyao?" only makes sense to me, but here you go.

Tiana/Charlotte (The Princess and the Frog)
Twilight/Rarity (My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic)
Alicia/Elena (The Otome Heroine's Fight For Survival)
Alraune (Iris)/Rufe (Plant Monster Girl's Diary, this one's a little awkward to decipher because in the novel their relationship could be read as either sisterly or the younger having a crush on an oblivious elder, but the manga adaptation's art is... uh... fanservicey, to say the very least)
