    Unironically the most difficult part of teaching on a daily basis for me is pulling it together and seeming confident so I don’t put my students in the position of wanting to reassure me.

        Author was closeted trans, depressed, and taking a variety of drugs to self-medicate. She did a kickstarter to publish a book collection of the webcomic, was harassed by backers, and had a breakdown where she burned some of the ordered books before vanishing.

        The book burning actually turned out to be kind of staged. She burned misprints, got someone else to handle distribution, and exploited the blowback to get away from the fandom.
