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.
