They love freedom of speech so much... until they don't.

I just uploaded a bunch of new designs on my Teepublic shop, right in time for TDOV! Make the conservatives around you think twice before opening their mouth. And for an unlimited time, each time someone gets a burning Cybertr*ck item, a T*sla shareholder will self-combust -- as a treat!

You might remember that my Finnish husband and I have been on a journey to pregnancy through IVF for a few years now. I rarely update you on the matter because it's honestly been quite bleak. So many appointments with endless delays between each one, doctors getting their schedule mixed-up (for real), bureaucracy, straight-up incompetence... but also a lot of support and care from medical staff and our families and friends. A real roller-coaster of emotions that we are relieved to see come to fruition.

Today, without early notice and after months of obstacles, we finally got green-lighted to get the genetic material that I froze as a teenager from Canada to Finland. However, we can't just release the sperm in the Saint-Lawrence River and tell them to swim to the Baltic Sea. Some agent with sunglasses must transport it by plane in a secure container filled with liquid nitrogen, and that's the only part of this whole adventure that isn't covered by either of the countries' healthcare system.

We have about a week to gather a few thousand dollars to cover this trip, so you'll be seeing a few reminders of the ways you can support my work, such as by getting me a coffee (www.ko-fi.com/sophielabelle ) or the Friendship Book Bundle ( https://ko-fi.com/s/c9ab772abf ). I'm also putting some of my recent needlework up for grabs at https://ko-fi.com/sophielabelle/shop/needlework , in case you were looking for great conversation starters for your next family gathering! (As they take several dozen hours each to make, they are very limited.)

("Elbows up" is a defensive hockey stance that hurts anyone attempting to tackle you. It became the Canadian slogan in the trade war initiated by the US.)

May we interest you in some trans and queer comics about sports during these trying times? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stackeddeckpress/come-out-and-play-the-queer-sports-project
