I’m about to have phone therapy but here I’ll try to help out w how things r :) yeah, it’s just jarring initially but like a year ago we had no money I had a top surgery savings and we both worked min wage jobs. Less than a year ago. Laura’s big in the nxc& has a big very cult
Following but after the LA times gave them a write up, everything like flipped upside down. Excitement twisted into fear really quick when internet stuff started up. Every day I get notifications on IG thats people go thru and like every photo I have with Laura in them. Still.-
I get that, whatever, but like maybe 24 is so far from my teen years (doesn’t feel like it but) I forgot teenagers on the internet have no boundaries and weird kids have no chill bc they can hide on the internet and probably bully back like their bullied at school.
I’m like a no one cartoonist keep in mind thru this and honestly “big” for a alt cartoonist is... obv not like this. Idk at first people messaging me bizarre shut was making me lOose it I was like throwing my phone across the room. Then a 2 month tour. Laura’s never toured and

Dumb but like... obviously I’ve looked up her name on the internet all the time and like... people literally want my wife to die because she’s trans and hotter than all cis girls. Someone is recording all of her live videos and posting them on a YouTube channel. Idk. This thread
