A shelf and coat rack loaded with vintage home goods, fiber art, and prints stand along the right hand wall of a vintage mall booth.

I've got a guest spot at Morningstar Vintage in Memory Den PDX! Some of my art is there alongside a selection of vintage goods that I've curated, largely from my own collection. Lots of mushroom and nature-themed goodies to pick from! My boothmates/host are awesome too!

Can I findom my way into having privacy? Like...someone who wants to send me a couple k every month to get a 2br apartment to make art in. Alone. I'll do it naked but no sexy performance, just a fat queer leftist artist who won't send nudes and call you a cuck for even asking. Just spit balling idk.

Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence NATIONAL SECURITY PRESIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM/NSPM-7 MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE                THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration.

Instead of taking the bus home this morning, I hiked across Mount Tabor to feel my body and see big trees. Some of the moments that felt beautiful or notable were photographed to make the feeling easier to remember later.

Thought by now I'd be done living with her, I'd have autonomy again, I'd have space to consider my future. But I still don't. There's been little to no accountability. I've been so quiet about how she's treated me and everything I put up with. I've been protecting her reputation to my own detriment.

Life has been brutal lately. End of May my spouse of 12 years abruptly ended our relationship without any warning. Agonizingly, we are still living together as she lacks the skills to safely/cordially navigate separation. I'm trying to hold some semblance of hope but it feels impossible most days.

Taking extra Tylenol to make sure I'm too autistic to be raptured tomorrow.

Uneven rainbow watercolor text reads "embrace imperfection". A dandelion is painted in the middle. The painting rests on messy paint pallets.

Why do I vacillate wildly between dark and moody complex artworks and bright affirming pop-art. These were painted within just a couple weeks of each other. #adhdartist #painting #watercolor #traditionalart

Controversial take but I'm probably in favor of Muskolini forming his own political party. We have seen how green and independent voters have broken up cohesion in the democratic party for close elections. Anything with potential to dilute the power of the fundamentalist right is a good thing.

Incredible news for trans people - the Medicaid provision is out of the Trump horror bill. It did not require a point of order vote, and instead, Republicans pulled it out on their own, likely knowing they would lose the vote.

Good job to everyone for calling their Senators.

Today, senator Ron Wyden will raise a point of order to remove the Medicaid and CHIP ban on gender affirming care. The Republicans need 60 votes to keep it in but they only have 53. Call your Dem senator today and urge them to vote to strip the ban from the bill. Senate switchboard 202-224-3121.

There isn’t always a logical why to feeling the way we do, just that we do.

Two concerned-looking dogs curled up together.

Disappeared here for a month bc my life blew up. Partner of 12 yrs announced the end of our relationship without warning and since then I've been in full traumabrain incl extreme OCD, pain flare, and memory problems. The ESA are definitely earning their kibble these days. #mentalhealth #ocdrecovery

Can you imagine how awesome it would be if there was a country that *actually* followed the United States constitution? Probably as awesome as a religion that *actually* follows Jesus. Oh, well.

Update: It took the neighbors at least 15 minutes after I noticed the crows already into the food to finally come out and retrieve it. I have so many questions. Mainly, who leaves their doordash sitting outside that long? In a neighborhood that has crows, racoons, and coyotes daily? And it's rainy?

Two crows eating waffles on a front stoop with a ripped open food delivery bag.

Watching my crow friends go to town on the neighbor's door dash breakfast is making my day. I feel bad for the neighbors but at this point that food is for the birds.

In case you didn't know, I always want mushroom themed accessories. Especially socks. #fungifriends

“Recently one of my friends said that their radical politics are often misunderstood as harsh and unnecessarily critical, but that their political views and behaviors come from the softest part of them: they just want everyone to be ok. And I felt that.”

Saw this across my timeline and… yeah that sums it up

This is the best 100-day recap I’ve seen — and it begs the damn question:

Why is his approval rating still 39%? Are folks in a coma?

Building true safety and community resilience requires difficult growth. Not all conflict is abuse. Not all shitty behavior should be solved by ostracization. Some, yes, but if that's always your first solution, you're constantly cutting the legs out from under yourself.

Responded to a Q on Threads about 🚩 in queer spaces w/ cancel culture that prevents repair or community restoration after minor individual harms. No surprise that brought out the zealots claiming I protect abusers, but replicating carceral systems is a toxic response to trauma, not true safety.

Sketched zine cover reads "The Art of Noticing: on slowing down, grounding, and seeing small wonders" with California poppies in the background.

Working on a new zine today. Sketches are done. Refining it tonight and hopefully will have them at Hood River Cider Fest this Saturday! #arttherapy

'We're citizens!': Oklahoma City family traumatized after ICE raids home, but they weren't suspects A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were …

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

I'm finally tackling my backlog of biz accounting from ALL OF 2024 and both wondering how I made so much money and also wondering how I still feel so completely unable to survive on this income... Like 60% of it was business expenses.
