Its her day

A cartoony-style illustration of a rabbi with a snowman. he's holding a piece of parchment that says "שמות/names" on it. The snowman has arms, legs, a stocky body, and a smile. He's wearing a streimel that says "אמת." In the background, a cossack soldier with a mustache shakes his fist. Above them all is a title in blue and white - פראָסטיק דער גולם. It's all stylized to look like Rankin-Bass cartoons.

Someone much more clever than I am pointed out that Frosty the Snowman could be considered a golem, so I ran with that.

Conceptual art depicting two grayscale busts of a fairy with bee-like antennae wearing two different styles of kippah. The first bust is in 3/4 back view, showing a coral skullcap-style kippah. It has gold trim and golden embroidery depicting a magen david, olive branches, and olive blossoms. The second bust is in profile view, showing a light yellow Bukharian kippah with coral trim. Pomegranates and flower(s) are embroidered along the sides of the kippah.

Torn between two different styles of kippot for my sona to wear... Perhaps I'll alternate between the two, idk I like variety too much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #art #mysona #fairy #transmasc #jewish

Update of how I've been handling the last week #doodles

Closeup of the base of a coastal redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) tree. There is a piece of stray wood that looks like it is absorbed into the tree. Taken August 2025

Overtaken #photography #nature #trees

Artwork depicting a fairy with bee-like features, holding a water bottle and standing in a rocky creek bed. He is wearing a swim shirt, trunks with a palm leaf and azalea print, water shoes and a green hat

My boy has barely existed for a few weeks and already he's got a swimsuit alt smh #art #mysona #fairy #transmasc

False turkeytails on a tree by the creek. I think the banding on these mushrooms is pretty #photography #fungi

Time to indulge in some rumination about the past while listening to Hybrid Theory instead of sleeping

Artwork depicting a great blue heron (Ardea herodias) amongst tall grass, stopped in front of the trunk of a blue oak (Quercus douglasii). It is staring at the viewer with a sense of caution

On one of my walks earlier this spring, I spotted a heron wading through the grass close to the trail. It saw me too, as it stood cautiously and watched me pass by #art #birds

A simple reference sheet depicting a fat, transmasculine fairy with bee-like features. He is facing forward with palms out and is depicted in two different states of dress

Since coming out as trans, I've been in the process of reworking my sona, Mellmo's, design. Here's a quick reference I made for him #art #mysona #fairy #transmasc

Artwork depicting a bust of the tiefling wizard Shulamit in profile view. She is looking at up a Lahore pigeon with reddish-brown feathers perched atop her hat.

Being a tiefling born to a human family in Calimshan, Shulamit grew up quite isolated and lonely before leaving home for Calimport. She's a shy and anxious person because of this.

One of the first friends she made was her familiar - a large, boisterous, and sassy pigeon named Chaviv 🕊️🕊️ #art #dnd

Reference sheet depicting a Dungeons and Dragons player character in various states of dress - a unique tiefling with chicken-like features, alluding to the common depiction of sheydim having the feet of a rooster. She has silver prosthetic arm

Wanted to make a simple-ish reference sheet for one of my favorite dnd characters. Her name is Shulamit, and she's a tiefling wizard with a design based off of sheydim from Jewish folklore! #art #dnd #dndcharacter

WHY AM I STRUGGLING TO MAKE A SIMPLE POST

EVERY TIME I THINK I GOT IT DOWN I FORGET *SOMETHING*

Tolmie's Star Tulips. I love their fuzzy petals, which give them their other name, "pussy ears" #photography #flowers #wildflowers

The blazing hues on these roses are simply beautiful ❤️🧡💛 #photography #flowers

What you need to understand about recommending a show to me is that no matter how much we both know I'll like it, I can't watch it until the Neurodivergence Department in my brain approves it. I don't know when that will be, and I don't have any more control over it than you do.

to anyone who's tried to get me into anything, i'm sorry

Paved with Love

Happy Pride month! 🌈🏳️‍🌈

I spent a long time thinking about what to paint for this year until I saw a photo of flagstones covered in chalk art of various rainbows. It made me realize that the path to equality and a better tomorrow is paved slowly, step by step, and with love.

Last night I had a cherry lemonade popsicle that was in packaging like this. It was sour and kinda gross. Lemonade kinda needs to have sugar added to it to be drinkable!

I feel like a lot of the companies that market themselves as being healthier (i.e. when they label products as "no added sugar") need to actually make sure they have a product that actually tastes good before they put it on shelves
