Loving Yourself Means Freedom
In a society ruled by image, it becomes very difficult to love yourself, inside and out, especially as an eighteen year old girl. We are being told constantly that we are not good enough, pretty enough, smart enough, sexy enough, just enough. On the flip side, if we make one mistake, we are labeled as slut, whore, the b-word, and so many other things. We live in a world that expects us to be perfect, though perfection can never truly be reached.
As a girl who has been told/called some of these things, it hurts. Words are the most dangerous weapons that exist. These words are the weapons of society. We are taught at a young age by magazines, television, music, peers, and in some cases, even parents that we are supposed to uphold these impossible standards.

Day Jobs and Talismans
I spent last weekend at LepreCon in Phoenix, Arizona, where I had a great time presenting science talks and speaking on steampunk panels. The convention was large enough that I kept busy, but small enough that I could have some good productive conversations with people. 
I came home to find the final illustrations waiting for the last issue of Tales of the Talisman Magazine. So I spent much of this week finishing the layout.
