Living with auto-immune disease is tough. Your brain is foggy, you're in pain and nauseated... and you sleep all day, so everyone in your life thinks it's a permanent vacation. Rachel Dukes knows from experience that it's not. How do you manage to fit a whole life into six hours of consciousness each day?

In Poppy Seeds #1, Dukes asks themself this question. After nearly two years of constant illness, Dukes is ready to get out of bed, find some work-life balance, and get back to the drawing board. But, immunosuppressed and vulnerable during a global pandemic, where does one start?

At home.
