A collage of photos, some in color and some greyscale. At the top, pink text reads "the inspiration vs. the artwork: dnd character edition." As you look closer, all of them except one portray the same woman—sometimes holding a gun, sometimes teaching, sometimes smiling, sometimes serious. The repeated face is Leila Khaled, noted as facial reference. "Look at the way she gestures with this knife," one text box intones. The final image, which wears a stylish earth-toned loose-fit outfit but a completely different face, is labeled "inconspicuous outfit."

A digital drawing of a woman in a bright orange work uniform carrying a canvas bag. Her face mirrors Leila Khaled's, wide eyed and intense. The pose and the outfit are taken directly from the "inconspicuous outfit" reference, though the color has become much more conspicous in its vibrant orange glory. On-screen text boxes read "guys this is the first time I've drawn a person that looks like a real actual person" and "like, yeah, there's room for improvement, but I'm so proud of this."

Colored pencil drawing. Upward view at the roof of a garage, where wild sunflowers grow in the gutter. Building is green juxtaposed against a sunset sky, flowers facing the setting sun. Sky is an array of oranges and pinks fading into a dark blue, cotton-candy pink clouds scattering the sun’s last beams.

“we find a way.” colored pencil on paper, 2025.

what do we do when everything humanity has made seems at odds with our nature? we find a way. we bloom anyway.

Poem text on a pink background. A digital color drawing of a knife on a cutting board surrounded by partially-cut vegetables sits below the poem. The poem, titled “community,” reads: “you, me, us, in the quiet midevening, laughter in the kitchen, talk breaking for singing, sharing tips to make living in a life made of knives less sharp.”

nothing can make things okay like community. time spent with loved ones. friends who are like family. thank you all for making difficult weeks less sharp.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Showed My Photo In A DOGE Hearing And Called Me A Monster. Here's Why I’m Fighting Back. “It was the first time that I had been directly referenced in the halls of Congress.”

A thoughtful piece on the importance of advocating for diverse media as part of the fight for children's autonomy. It isn't enough to simply rebuke fascism; we must advocate for the wellbeing of the people hurt by fascist policies—including children.

I'm just saying, if I were a dog, I'd chase my tail too

I’ve limited how much social media I’m taking in and it’s…honestly been horrifying to realize that I’m not only just as informed as I was before…I’m better informed. Because I have the emotional bandwidth to take more in AND take on action items.

A vaguely floral background with pink and orange text over the top. Text reads: My Delights. D- Deliciousness - eating something that fills me with joy. E- Enthrallment - becoming deeply engaged in something; hyperfocus. L- Love - spending time with those I love. I- Improvement - working towards being better at something that is important to me. G- Goofing - having a good laugh at something. H- Harmony - moments of connection where I feel deeply at peace and alignment with someone or something else. T- Transcendence - moments where I feel a deep connection to something larger than myself or a deeper sense of self. S- Strolling - going for a walk to just enjoy the world. Wildcard: something that may not be one of the delights, but fills me with delights nonetheless.

a tool for gratitude—you can use this list reflect on your activities in the last day or two. everything on the list is something worth celebrating.
🙏 don't forget to thank yourself for the time you spent!

Poem on an off-white text box over a green background. Color sketch of a pot of soup at the bottom. Text reads: winter is a political ideology— I was born to the importance of sunsets and dandelions. I am learning that thistles and midnights matter, too, that there is as much beauty in a spider as a butterfly and as much bravery in a goodbye as in a hello. Joy makes a home in warmth, but perhaps the time has come to appreciate the cold. The winter is growing close, I see. There is no more sunlight when I leave to work in the morning than there is when my dull shadow finds home. But in the winter, there will be soup. In the darkness, we will shape candles and sing songs. We will make the warmth.

how do you publish a book ethically, in an environmentally responsible way that doesn't sacrifice your voice to line a shareholder's wallet?

A four panel comic. Panel 1: A pink lily (amaryllis belladonna) looks at a white button mushroom sitting on a stump, whose eyes are closed. The mushroom says, "It's funny, how since the Great Eye Opening, everyone keeps their eyes closed!" Panel 2: The pink lily opens their mouth. Panel 3: The pink lily closes their mouth. Panel 4: The pink lily looks at the camera.

The image contains a tweet from an account named "Elon Musk." The text reads: --- Elon Musk (@elonmusk): "Oh … forgot to mention that I’m also going to be funding moderate candidates in heavily Democrat districts, so that the country can get rid of those who don’t represent them, like this jackass."

He's literally trying to buy himself congress, right out in the open.

Black text on a pink background that reads, "If you can't afford hope, spite will do— spite is hope dragged through mud. spite says, "i see what you're doing. i see through it and it's fucking stupid and i'm going to ruin your plans." spite says, "you will be something better, even if the only way i get you there is by plowing into you and dragging you through the mud with me."

As we learn about his actions, friendly reminder that our response to this should focus on how we support his victims—not your opinions on #Gaetz 's forehead.

A sketch drawing of a fairy, sitting on a mushroom and holding a dandelion. Handwritten words beside the drawing say, "Maybe things will all work out. Maybe you will make them."

and she was a fairy 🧚‍♀️ #hopecore #makebadart #learningtodraw #fairyart

With the cold weather and winter just beginning, reminder that this is a policy choice and we all have the power to change this.
