In case anyone is looking for something fun to do tomorrow: I'm hosting the Earthshakers Creativity Club at 7pm eastern time :) As always, you can attend for free or pay what you can! RSVP here: www.nikkistclair.ca/earthshakers/

On #WorldVenti8Day, some highlights from the recent Health Canada "Guidance for indoor air quality" document... 1/4 www.canada.ca/content/dam/...

Mask Bloc Waterloo Region stands against the targeting of local queer and trans events. We also stand against working with the police and the idea of involving them in community events. The entire 2SLGBTQIA+ community deserves to have a safe space here in so-called “Waterloo Region”. #WatRegion 🧵/1

we're on for november 1st, ccreatives! come out and share your work!

Made some more mask chains in support of Mask Bloc Waterloo Region!! Check 'em out ⬇️

The updated COVID vaccine is already available for high-risk people through pharmacies, with flu / RSV ones to follow soon. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I got some pastels yesterday and they are SO FUN!!! I'm also just so happy with the colours I picked out to start with, I can never have enough greens 🤩💚

Here's some #art I made outside recently (in between extreme heat warnings and terrible air quality 🫠) #ArtYear #NatureArt

now please, and i’m so serious: take that anger and go buy some masks to wear in public indoor spaces so everyone knows how much you don’t fuck with eugenics. if you need low cost or free masks, or just don’t know where to start, check out covidactionmap.org and maskbloc.org for groups near you.

keep social media accessible!! -save & use the info graphic when you're feeling overwhelmed & having trouble organizing your thoughts! -turn on "require alt text before posting" in your settings! -speech-to-text slays if there's something getting in the way of typing! happy posting✨

Olive Branch, 2025 (watercolour) Featuring a branch from the sacred olive tree and the olive leaf pattern of the traditional Palestinian keffiyeh. Note: this image is a digitally created mockup of what the painting might look like framed. #FreePalestine #Art #ArtYear

just losing my mind over the fact that today is "Clean Air Day" and the weather in some places is best described as "Smoke"

this is my newest painting, in florescence 🪻🌸🌷🌺🌻 you can read about the inspiration behind the piece on my website: nikkistclair.ca/2025/05/in-florescence #Art #ArtYear #NatureArt #FloralArt

at ~200k views, this seems to’ve really impacted folks on tiktok; i’m not saying anything i haven’t said before in a million different ways… but that’s what we gotta do to see change—keep repeating things in different ways, eventually each niche framing finds its people. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjLKRxUT/

HAPPY TAURUS SEASON (aka best season) 🌷🌿🌼✨🌈

well guess I gotta say this very explicitly here: I am against the use of AI for anything to do with art. If you make AI art please stop!

"Small, slender, and incredibly cute sparrow." I mean, they're not wrong!! 🤭 #MerlinBirdOfTheDay #MerlinApp #BirdOfTheDay #ChippingSparrow

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! 🏳️‍⚧️ ⠀ Did you know?⠀ ⠀ The ASL sign for ‘transgender’ is similar to the ASL sign for ‘beautiful’ but is signed on the middle of the chest. Illustration by Deaf trans artist Carlisle Robinson. #TDOV #DeafTrans #DeafTransgender #DeafTransPride #ASL #QueerASLSigns ⠀⠀

Happy #TransDayofVisibility !!! 🩵🩷🤍 #TDOV

I am SO EXCITED to share that 3 of my paintings will be among the 50 pieces displayed at the Queer in KW: art showcase at the Kitchener Public Library! The exhibit features art by 2SLGBTQIA+ artists residing in or with a connection to Waterloo Region. It opens March 28 and runs until May 8!

do you ever feel like a rubber ball floating down the stream, wanting to start again?

This rare #NorthernCardinal, known as a “halfsider” & “bilateral gynandromorph” is proof that nature doesn’t concern itself with the binary of male or female. It's a reminder that as part of the natural world, this queer magic exists in us humans too. #art #queerart #queerartist #natureart #birdart
