I joined my local figure drawing center as a member today ☺️

Hahahahaha

Oh cool! I've done things like that in the past!

Haha, like for HRT vials maybe?

Like with the hardcover boards? That's a possibility!

I don't have any guilt about throwing them out btw, as a librarian that's just what you do with books that aren't serving anyone. But it seems like a potential wasted opportunity for art!

I'm having the same issue with my Neil Gaiman books 😭 I think I'll keep them in the basement until inspiration strikes. Maybe I'll use them to grow mushrooms.

I'm finally weeding my Harry Potter books from the back corner of my bookshelf, but I'm not sure what to do with them. It feels irresponsible to put them in a Little Free Library. Anyone have creative ideas for repurposing old books?

I just finished printing an edition for next month's Print Club rewards (and some for the shop), and I'm SO EXCITED to show off but I'm gonna be patient and wait until I've got some sunshine.

This is me attempting patience about anything art-related: 🤓

No actually, I still want to watch videos on the history of carpeted bathrooms and why Hank Green is all wrong about knitting.

I had to delete my Youtube history because after watching one video about reading from a white cis dude, my recommendations were full of men with handlebar mustaches.

A photograph from the 1988 ACT UP demonstration outside the FDA. Many people are participating in a die-in on the front steps, holding mock tombstones with messages like "RIP - killed by the FDA" and "Dead from lack of drugs." A line of police officers (some with classic 80s mustaches) wearing riot helmets stands between them and the building; one cop wearing white gloves is walking through the demonstrators. Affixed to the 2nd story windows of the building is a series of posters and a large blank banner reading Silence = Death.

This week in 1988: 1,000+ ACT UP demonstrators shut down the FDA headquarters, demanding (and eventually winning) action on developing HIV/AIDS treatments. ACT UP's militant and creative actions always included powerful visual artwork, and paved the way for movements in the decades to come.

I finished carving both blocks for my next print and then made delicious garlic bread out of the baguette that was delivered already stale

Thanks! The color is definitely staying 😊

Also I'm jazzed that my head won't be as cold this winter!

Apparently this has been documented as an "extreme" form of migraine aura. I love to be an edge case 🙃

I had the violent sads the other night again, but this time I recognized it as migraine prodrome

Robin takes a selfie in their bedroom with their hand under their chin. They have blue/green-tipped short hair that matches their eyes, a black puff-sleeved shirt, and winged eyeliner.

I'm growing out my hair into a pixie cut so I can femme it up when I feel like it

Masked Marilyn, color version

Beautiful! I can't wait to see the finished results

Space rocks painted with underglaze. Hopefully I can clear glaze them tomorrow and get them fired over the weekend??

Colours will shift after firing, but I am really excited to see them 🥰 #space #ceramics #art

Turns out the secret is to always have books out from the library.

In the past couple months I've read most of the Murderbot books, two of Chuck Tingle's horror novels, and I'm halfway through rereading Wuthering Heights.

I never fully stopped reading, but this is the closest I've gotten to the way I used to tear through books pre-illness.
