A piece I did for the Wild Hunt zine (twi: @/ZenosZine)

apology not accepted (it goes both ways)

Independent bookstores around the country have a particularly clever lifeline, one perfectly suited to the unprecedented moment we find ourselves in. The strange part? It came into being just weeks before the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic, and before the bookstores started closing up shop wondering if they’d reopen at all.

The lifeline in question is called Bookshop. 

goodrx is the most well known one, but if i'm trying to find the cheapest price for a patient i compare it to scriptcycle, and use whichever is offering the best price. you just type in the medication (PLEASE make sure you're getting the right drug, dosage, and quantity) and your zip code and they will spit out some offers for you

some pharmacies may have their own discount card to compare to as well!

if you are getting a name brand medication, you can also look at the manufacturer's website to see if they offer any evouchers for you to use too

The starting project for my advanced illustration class, I took it more as a warm-up project than anything and just drew around the given topic but hey gives me an excuse to draw knights.

VV Ink only version below! VV

For doing something to myself, we are now in the north of Gaza living on the rubble of our houses, without water, electricity, no internet, or any element of life, we chose this choice because it is in our homeland and better than living in a tent in this cold atmosphere, my wish this year is to end the war, the crossings will be opened and peace in Palestine and the whole world, and the people of Gaza will get their rights like other people of the world, I hope this will happen as soon as possible, to help me and my family, make a gift of my birthday a small donation worth $10, this may be the best birthday gift ever !!!

It's time to introduce our lineup of amazing and talented contributors who will make YukaMitsu Zine a reality! Please welcome everyone!
