text: human are social animals. we need to connect. we need to reach for one another. a drawing of a table and some chairs. a drawing of a window. a drawing of a protest with pro trans signs. panel: text: seeing people in real life is good. a drawing of a long haired man with a cup of coffee. panel: text: strangers and friends alike. two people talking to each other. panel: text in a protest sign: recently my current home country has been in the news for its lgbtq phobia.

page background: a crowd of trans people. panel 1: a big coffee maker making a blblbl noise. text box: about 150? people woke up early and showed up to protest. panel 2: a person with coffee. text box: The deciding body of healthcare guidelines for trans people held a meeting. panel 3: 2 people standing by each other. text box: there is power in coming together.

1: a range of crafting supplies. text on a zine: vastavirta, date in autumn 2024. panel 2: two people looking at zines and a book. person with glasses says: you could start from just asking a question! the person holding a book says: i could also write about my dogs... panel 3: two silhouettes walking away. person 1 says thanks for letting me sleep over. person 2 says sure. panel 3: zines and drinks and zine supplies across a table. a long haired guy drawing something. the text on his page: pub drawing.

collected moments from this autumn. i’ve actually forgotten which specific piece of news i’m referring to here. the protest was about the insufficient cohere guidelines and the duopoly of the two trans clinics in finland.

the first two drawings were from a meeting of an entirely different community, and the zine event was also unrelated to the protest and was instead a part of a larger grassroots organising event. i actually drew two more community related events this autumn but they weren’t finished enough to be published. maybe next year.
