Selfie time

Self portrait by Jaydot Sloane, 2025

Had an endoscopy yesterday. Wild ride. Nothing life threatening, just a routine check to make sure my routine acid reflux is actually routine and there’s nothing more sinister going on.

Anesthesia was nice. I asked them to add ketamine into my anesthesia mix because I’m already on a low dose for treatment resistant depression, might as well get an extra dose in while it’s covered under another medical procedure. So despite having felt like I deep throated a bunch of medical equipment for the rest of the day, I was feeling pretty chill about everything.

Regardless of my personal feelings, of course, the horrors persist. But so do I.

This Saturday is Hourly Comics Day, and I’m excited to get to participate. Every hour on the hour I’ll likely be putting out some auto-bio comic about whatever I’m doing that day, or at the very least that’s the goal. We’ll see how it actually ends up, but whatever happens I’ll be posting it over on my bluesky account (https://bsky.app/profile/jaydotdice.com) and trying to remember to tag it for my art-only feed (https://bsky.app/profile/jaydotdice.com/feed/aaajtcvbrpiew).

And if I’m feeling particularly ambitious, I’ll attempt to put up a master post of all the auto-bio comics here as well.

Anyway, I’m off to do some more persisting. I hope you do too.

xoxoxoxo,
