1st image- me next to the piece to show some scale. Shows a nonbinary artist with short yellow hair, rainbow shorts, and a black shirt standing in front of a drawing outline on fabric. The art Shows a multifigural form under a lemon tree. The form has multiple hands grabbing lemons, holding them humorously, and planting seeds.
2nd image- showing more of the outlining of a multilayered figure under a lemon tree
3rd image- the digital mockup of the piece in progress. Shows a multifigural form under a lemon tree. The form has multiple hands grabbing lemons, holding them humorously, and planting seeds.
The next big piece has the outlines mapped out.
It's going to be a textile applique piece using quilting and embroidery and I am excited to start layering fabrics now that everything is laid out.

Bham no kings day protests on Monday the 17th.
300+ people showed up to protests in bham between @indivisiblebham.bsky.social and the #50501 action.
Keep showing up. Keep speaking out. And as much as you can, keep connected with your communities and build stronger bonds. We are in this together.
The top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich.
How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?
Ooooo what book? I wanna look it up!

📢 Here’s the contrast:
✅ Alabama Democrats → Invest in public education, expand affordable healthcare, raise wages, protect freedoms.
❌ Alabama Republicans → Attack LGBTQ+ rights, ban DEI, restrict reproductive freedom, and push election restrictions.
Which future do you want?

That's all I just needed to scream into the void!
Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

Now, union-busting corporations can exploit their employees with impunity.
Last I checked, that's not standing with workers the way Trump promised.
