You don't want our grief to exist, you don't care how much harm that does. You don't know how loud and harsh that is, how it pins you to the side you think you're opposing. Enough. Bring us embrace, mind and ears wide enough to hold us through waves of grief and rage.

Almost missed this! Thank you so much @monstermanor.org for running the Hot Wet Queer Summer dash/jam 💚 I need to make a post for #WaterMe. There's progress, but also some obstacles I might need help around to get this story out. Will update when I can 🙌🏽🐉 #hwqs #wip #AmWriting

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in this writing events! Monster Manor has done a couple different style writing prompts over the years, but I think this was by far the most fun and most successful. It would not have been possible without all of you!

This was supposed to be the #SundayFishSketch ... The bumby snailfish is refusing to get painted at the moment :/ ... I may return to it later or try again.

These last months are generally very hard on my health. My birthday's coming up, which I wanna try to enjoy. But it's never been easy. Reminding myself to save spoons & hope to find spaces where solidarity + authentic efforts for understanding can actually root. It's okay to maintain boundaries 🌳

And that's a wrap for this sketchbook! That's 110 pages drawn over 2+ years featuring ~206 completed #SundayFishSketch and #SciArtSeptember works. Shoutout to the #TeamFish #SciArt community—especially @lampichthys.bsky.social and @lizlagomorph.bsky.social. Here's to many more notebooks to come! 🐡🦑🧪

Managed to catch the last hours of this! Powerfully resonant discussions. Highlighting representation & truth imbuing resilience & compassion through #KidLit, there was a lot shared on the need for communal support esp when industry/institutions fail. #SunbirdsSummit25 #StorySunbirds

A throwback for Ctenophore Day! If you ever wondered how to pronounce Ctenophore, today is October 4, the 10th month, fourth day & it sounds like ten oh four. 🧪🐡 They are a phylum of marine invertebrates, like this comb jelly which look a bit like jellyfish, but instead of stinging tentacles they 🧵

Today after relaying a summarized update on the major flare-ups I've been enduring over the past month, I was told not to give up on my body. I didn't know how much I needed to hear that. Exhale.
