We had to write a Mini Comic for my Illustration Class so I did mine based on The Frog and The Scorpion. Hopefully you all know the story! 

But if you don’t know the story… In the original the scorpion stings the frog in the middle of the river. When the frog asks “why” the scorpion says “it’s in my nature” and they both die. I like my ending more.

Done with watercolor and pen and ink nib.

i think of this video once a week

Transcription:

A man stands in front of the camera with the caption “A story time from when I was a girl” next to him and trans flags adorning the video.

“Ayo, let me give y’all a story time.
You know I’m transgender, I was born a girl I transitioned into a man but let me give y’all a story time from when I was a girl.

So, me and all my stud friends, we getting ready to go to this party we all dressed in all white. 
One of my friends decided like, ‘Ay y’all, let’s all wear our straps to the party.’
So we all dumb, ‘Aight, bet!’
So, we all wear it to the party.

We get to the party, it’s a basement party, back in the day, you know what I’m saying, so, nobody can really see.
So, this girl get to twerking on me, she feeling me, giving me her number, dadadadada (said to mean etc.)

We meet up after the party at her house, me and all my friends.
So, we all go into seperate rooms dadadadada.
So, we did what we had to do.

So, I ain’t talk to shawty for like, two and a half months and I get a random text from this number like, ‘Yeah, like I been trying to call you and talk to you.’
And I’m like, ‘For what?’ you know what I’m saying, [I’m trying to] ignore you, like, it was a one night thing.
She’s like, ‘Yeah, I’m pregnant and it’s your baby dadadadada…’
And I’m like, ‘Shawty, I’m a girl.’ and like, showing her pictures of like, what, me in a sports bra.
No, she like ‘No, that’s your sister I’m not stupid I know who I had sex with that night.’

Um, so, to this day I got a child out there.
Hey son-”

A tweet from actor Kaili Vernoff that says: "The first big streaming job I got was one of the best jobs I’ve ever had. A recurring role on a Hulu original series. Written by a brilliant, badass woman and starring actors I’d long admired, I was in actor heaven. The show was excellent and the camaraderie unforgettable"ALT
A tweet from actor Kaili Vernoff that says: "It was never explained to me that I wouldn’t make much in residuals. I asked my team and union about it - answers were fuzzy at best. Streaming was still called “new media” and residual payments were calculated in a way that was… let’s just say it wasn’t transparent. :-/ But! (2)"ALT
A tweet from actor Kaili Vernoff that says: "The writing was excellent and while the contract was below my quote, it was still a great gig! My thought was, it’s “new media” now, but it’s quickly becoming the norm and our union will make sure we get fairly compensated in the next negotiation. But that didn’t happen (2)"ALT
A tweet from actor Kaili Vernoff that says: "So, we still made a livable wage on network tv residuals and tried to negotiate higher rates upfront on streaming platforms. I’m an optimist after all! But hold on! If you work on say, Grey’s Anatomy or Chicago Med you get network residuals, right? 🤔 (3)"ALT
A tweet from actor Kaili Vernoff that says: "Or do they play *once* on network tv and then move to a steaming platform? See where this is going? For decades I lived well off movie and tv residuals bolstered by a ton of commercial work (which has all but disappeared for union actors). And as all these avenues of revenue (4)"ALT
A tweet from actor Kaili Vernoff that says: "dwindled, the pandemic happened, paralyzing our industry, and at that precarious moment, our union doubled the earnings threshold to qualify for health insurance AND tossed our spouses off the rolls. Now you may say, but  Kaili! You are part of one of the highest grossing [games] (5)"ALT
A tweet from actor Kaili Vernoff that says: "ever! You must be making bank on that? Nope. We don’t make anything from interactive media once production is completed. (That’s a different contract from the one we are currently striking over). So… here I am decades into a successful career doing the only thing I’ve ever (6)"ALT
A tweet from actor Kaili Vernoff that says: "wanted to do. And for the first time ever, I lost my health insurance this year. I’m one of the lucky ones bc I am married and can get coverage under my  husband’s plan, but dozens of actors I know personally aren’t so lucky. People are already struggling to pay rent. (7)"ALT
A tweet from actor Kaili Vernoff that says: "This isn’t a sob story. I wouldn’t trade this life for anything. But you should all know, we deserve better. We and the writers and designers and crew make the things you love great. And we must and WILL get a contract that reflects it. [fist bump]"ALT
