Three dark red drops fall toward a dark red puddle with a little bit of dark red splatter, on a black-and-white, newsprint-like backdrop in this acrylic painting.

Try to have slightly more social media presence this year which will be challenging. I'm bad at posting.

To start off, I figured I'd post this piece I painted last year. It's called White History Month and it feels like maybe it's fitting to put out there today. (12"x12", acrylic on canvas.)

i guess it’s time to link some of my favorite indie pattern companies:

I can’t understand, after the last 30 years of it happening EVERY TIME, how people think AI is going to stay free

Once everyone’s reliant, it’ll cost a fortune we just “have” to pay

Its energy needs will cost us the only world we have

All so someone doesn’t have to write their own Reddit shitpost

Welcoming Their Hatred Yesterday, as the world's richest narcissist and the world's most powerful narcissist engaged in a campaign of mutually-assured destruction, social media platforms witnessed record new levels of schad...

Longer piece inspired by this:

This is exciting as it gets closer, do I know how close it is. No, but this is exciting. I've heard a lot about this behind the scenes and I am excited for The Backwards Knight. So watch this space

The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill.

It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights.

It’s Project 2025

I have two sides of art
show me yours!

The Jonathan Joss story is so hideous that every time you look at it again, it gets worse.

Stay safe, look out for each other. The worst of us have been weaponized and approved by the worst people in power.

this is so good. elon musk and donald trump mutual destruction

Image of a paper wrapped book partially torn to reveal part of the cover for The Backwards Knight, sitting next to a stack of parchment, all on a faded wooden-planked surface. Parchment reads: The Paladin Hates magic. Hates mages. Hates elves. Hates you. Right bastard. Do not romanticize.

Day 4 brings us something...different.

You've met Orn, Laela, and Gaulf, the three main characters.

Now, meet the overarching antagonist: The Paladin. A man twisted by his hatred of magic, driving Laela to hunt those who dare use it.

Cover reveal soon. Preorders soon. GET HYPE.

Want to support charity and also get a short story from me? Here's a way to do so, as I've got a piece in the general pride bundle!

Interesting.

Yep. There's a church in my area that helps the unhoused and people who need connecting to resources and all you hear about is how there's 'needles everywhere' and it's 'dangerous.' I pass through the neighborhood every other week; I've never seen a needle and it feels just as safe as elsewhere.

Cover shows a sky in pinks and whites and dark buildings along each side of a river. The scene is reflected in the river. On top of one of the buildings is a black female figure.

The fascists in charge push a you do you style of public health where chronic illness is our fault. We must “try harder” to be healthy

Yet they ban masks. They distrust vaccines. They ban abortion & reproductive healthcare. Trans healthcare. Target social security & Medicaid

It’s not about health

I read that one just the other week! It was (imo) worth the read.

A pair of black ink deconstructed roses printed on two pieces of paper. The top sheet is red, the bottom is white.

A skull with heart eyes and upside-down heart noses has been printed on several pieces of paper. The white paper stencil is top left, covered in ink. Clockwise from the top, skulls are printed on white, yellow, red, and blue paper.

I had an intro to silkscreening workshop on Friday. It was a really cool process! Made a couple of stencils and it got my brain art-ing in a new direction.

There is support, you don't have to go through with it.

Soooo... I don't talk about this a lot but part of why I don't think abled people should play disabled people on film is because they don't understand what disability does to your gender. Cuz it's not nothing.

An orange-and-white cat lies on his side on a red velvet-like fabric on the top of a cat tree. His head is close to the camera and he's expectantly waiting for scratches. His right leg has a small shaved portion.

Ser Bartholomew had enough energy this morning to flop over and start purring as I tried to head out. I missed the bus I meant to take, but it was very worth it to scratch his cheekies.

Shares are also still appreciated. I've gotten one order, already mostly made today, and I'm very open to more if anyone wants jewelry.

My little guy is home! He's not all better yet, still gotta watch and wait, but thankfully it looks like he won't need surgery.

Thank you to everyone who has given. This went from impossible to recover from to possible. I could still use some help, but thank you.

A green and white towel lies on a beige tile surface. Next to it is a ball of green and white threads/strands about the size of a tennis ball.

Ser Bartholomew loves fighting towels, and just in case the problem is indeed a string, I trimmed all the loose strings from his favorite towel to fight.

Reskeeting is heavily appreciated too.

I hate to do this, but my little guy is struggling and his care is already decimating my budget for the year.

A painting of a rainbow heart on a pastel rainbow background. There's a white ribbon at the top that says "I will commit" in black cursive and a white ribbon at the bottom that says "the sin of empathy," also in black cursive.

Pretty pleased with this piece I painted today, totally not relevant to anything. Acrylic, watercolors, and marker.

Due to a lot of pain, the kettle boiling, and the cat yelling I wasn't paying attention when I went to take painkillers and took adhd meds at 10pm last night instead. It's 7 hours later. I'm tired but my legs are so restless that I'm thinking about going back in time and trying out for Riverdance.
