We will need a logo for the bot. We want to commission a trans artist to design a logo for the LGBTQ litigation tracker bot. Please respond below if you are able to!

Dear people of America: *this* is the kind of stuff you shouldn’t say in response to the Māori people and the US.

Starting over is rough, but hi! I'm an illustrator from #TacomaWA adjusting to life in BC. My art comes from 20yrs of loving cartoons & comics + desperation to see more fat & disabled characters. Also, ADHD 😂 Hope to meet other artists, comrades & queerdos! instagram.com/mijoburch_art mijoburch.com
