A screenshot featuring an incomplete drawing/sketch in the Procreate app. The screenshot depicts a smiling Black woman with a hand against her chin. She is looking up and to the right of the viewer, and her face is in three-fourths view. Her hair is in a loosely defined twist out.

A doodle I keep revisiting but will probably never finish.

I'll probably delete this, but I just wanted to share this for posterity, even if briefly.

Large corporations are not your friend and have been massively complicit in the rise of fascism in the US.

It's hilarious to see that Reddit mods took down a post showing that its conservative echo chamber subreddit is suspiciously run by just a couple of accounts, lol.

A screenshot of a drawing in the Procreate app depicting the side profile of a young Black woman. She is facing the viewer's left and looking straight ahead with an expression of wonder. The background is a warbled gradient of lime green, blue, and purple.

A late night sketch spent playing with some of the new Procreate brushes!

Be the change you wanna see. I'm not kidding, see what you can do to be that change. Despite everything or your circumstances you can make a change

A screenshot taken in the Procreate app of a sketch. The sketch depicts a smiling Black girl. Her eyes are closed dreamily, and her purple Afro billows upward like a cloud.

When my mom was living but still very sick, we were placed on food stamps. She lost her ability to move independently and work to terminal disease. We used food banks with earnest.

There are so many people out there with similar stories. SNAP isn't wasteful - it's a lifeline.

If you can, please support a local food bank today. The need is urgent.

Even so, I'm learning that it's essential to hold on to hope and one's will to fight. Fascism attempts to crush us to the point of hopelessness and despair. Unity, friendship, and community are essential right now.

Please don't let them crush your spirit, no matter what they try.

I had to tell someone who is virtually homeless that the program designed specifically for people facing homelessness was shut down because of Tr*mp. This administration quietly destroys programs that keep people alive and then crucifies queer and BIPOC folx. It's rage-inducing and depressing.

I work with people who rely on federal and state programs to survive, and I can't understate how crushing it is to watch those programs get shut down in real time. Resources that we used to be able to rely on to support unhoused and at-risk people are literally falling apart.

More black-and-white doodles between work! Hoping to beat same face syndrome and have a little variety in the people I draw.

After over 2 years of late nights, grad school assignments, fees, and tears (so many tears), I finally have the license I prayed for. 💜

It feels surreal to finally have the thing I sometimes doubted would materialize, but I'm thankful. I'm going to get a lot of sleep and have fun this weekend.

"Black people would have done the same thing (slavery) if they were in power!"

"People on the left have to paint people on the right as evil to maintain their power!"

It makes me so angry because this is how we get to where we are today, and there are so many groups like the one I was in.

One thing I think I'll never stop being angry about is that the college ministry I attended not only tried so hard to illustrate the chaos and tragedy of the world as a "both sides" issue, but also managed to spit out people who believe it.

Redrew a sketch that's nearly 10 years old! I like to think she grew up to have slightly more confidence. :) The original was drawn in Infinite Painter!

The image features a digital rendition of chibi Black woman with locs. She is floating in the air and smiling. She is wearing a hoodie with the colors of the bi flag (pink, purple, and blue). Text reading "Bisexual Visibility Day" frames the side of her face in pastel versions of the colors on the bi flag.

Happy belated Bisexual Visibility Day to all who celebrate!

I have blocked and unfollowed many of these people. It is still so frustrating to see people - some who I have quite literally known since I was a child - come out of the woodwork to defend people who actively platform hate and violence.

Frustrated to see people I knew personally who voted for Tr*mp making posts about prayer.

They voted for someone who ran on annihilating the rights of others and securing the "freedom" of hatefulness. The choice to be sentimental instead of accountable for the violence they contributed to is gross.

So it looks like my fears were true. Waiting for the xrays for proper diagnosis but the vet expects Warlock has invertebral disc disease. I'm a few hundred in vet bills already and expecting a few hundred more. Trying to push my coms as much as possible 🙏

This is so late, but thank you so much for the kind words!! 💜🥰

Sharing old MS Paint work to motivate myself to draw something new! 🌟

An illustration completed in MS Paint featuring a smiling Black woman looking up and to the right. There is a tear falling from her eye, ending in a twinkle. There are streaks of rain behind her.

Despite the Rain. Microsoft Paint.

Happy New Year! 2024 was rough, but I'm praying that 2025 is a little gentler for us all.

one very real, concrete way to help feed Gaza right now is through donating to World Central Kitchen

Donate to Gaza Emergency Appeal Help My Family, organized by Ahmad Madhoun Hello everyone, I am Ahmed Nabil Al-Madhoun, 25 years old, studying for a Bachelor’… Ahmad Madhoun needs your support for Gaza Emergency Appeal Help My Family

my friend Ahmad's account has again been deleted by bluesky because asking for help to feed his family, afford their medical needs, and rebuild their destroyed home— a home from which the IOF again threatens to displace them— is considered spam. so i'm sharing his gfm again 💔❤️‍🩹

A screenshot in the Procreate app featuring a drawing of a smiling Black woman in 3/4ths view. Her head is slightly tilted, and her locs fall to the side. She is wearing a burgundy-colored V-neck that is just barely visible.

Style explorations in Procreate that I don't particularly like but had fun making!
