It was a powerful day for having a say in the direction of our country. Amazing to see so many in OC standing up for what’s right — and to know that this was just a small piece of the protest. I hope everyone stayed safe. I hope good change will come, and soon. We’ll keep standing up until it does.

Stevie’s doing a Safe Space Giveaway!!! 🤩⭐️❤️ @steviesafespaces.com www.facebook.com/100080194680...

It was a beautiful night at the LGBTQ Center of Orange County’s Indigo Ball “Out to Empower”! Generosity, community, celebration, calls for action—and our very own rainbow!! 🌈And the commissioned watercolor I donated for the cause sold well. Can’t wait to meet the buyer and paint for them! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

I’ve loved seeing these, and it was so fun to make my own!! Here’s my 100%* human-dreamed, human-drawn starter pack (*okay, I’m possibly part dragon, but for sure 0% robot!) #starterpack #noai #realartist #illustrator #noaistarterpack #illustration #authorillustrator #artist #starterpacknoai

CBS News: “… a new disease registry is being launched to track Americans with autism …” We do not have a disease; we have a neurotype. And inherent value. And rights. This is very frightening. How do we fight it? Source: www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-...

“Safety & Sunshine. Happy Birthday DT 🌼” 📸 Georgia Tennant And thank you for being a safe space!! (Look what he’s wearing 🤩It’s such an honor to have made the art for this sweatshirt for Stevie Bees and it's so, so cool to see people I really admire wearing it as part of making the world better!)

This April during Autism Acceptance Month, please remember: —We don’t need to be “fixed” or “solved.” We have valid neurotypes that are part of human diversity. Listen to autistic voices. —We don’t want “awareness” without acceptance and societal change. —For more info, see: tinyurl.com/AutisticInfo
