tl;dr: So long and thanks for all the fish!
I started working at SHQ as a 24 year old girl, and I'm leaving a 38 year old dude. Life is wild.
This job has been my dream come true. I've met incredible people and lifelong friends in customers, creators, and coworkers alike. I've watched toddlers who came in with their parents every weekend go off to college and become artists in their own right. I've gotten to raise funds and gather supplies for groups near and dear to my heart like Access Reproductive Justice, Trans Defense Fund LA, Mutual Aid LA, 826LA, LAUSD Homeless Education Office, and more. I've read so, so many amazing comics.
My last day working at SHQ is March 21. Swing by, say hi, I'd love to see you. Catch me thereafter picking up my pull list on Wednesdays (and grabbing a chocolate chip cookie at Proof.)
Be brave, be kind, support your local shop.
