Always love to be reminded of this. A lot of it was hand-stitched too. Really amazing, precise work. Women’s work is so often minimised and forgotten.

I have always loved the passive aggression inherent in the phrase "available at all good bookshops."

If you’re queer and reading this, just know I and whoever put this on your timeline are rooting for you. We love and support you and your journey. Things have been difficult lately, but we are so proud of you. You matter. Your existence has touched countless people, even us strangers. Bless you 💖

“touch grass” lol congrats on falling for a psyop from Big Tick

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

Here is my controversial take after over 25 years of caring about sex work: Sex workers, and especially successful sex workers, are often very interesting people, because you have to be interesting to compel people to pay you for something most people can do. Sex work itself? Kinda boring.

OOH I WAS WONDERING WHAT THEY’D WEAR

Today, the day of the Met Gala, the unionized workers of the Met posted this image to their Instagram. www.instagram.com/p/DX64ioYjecG/

Delighted to have a poem in the new issue of @abridgedmagazine.bsky.social! My poem ‘Artemisia’ is about the botanist/naval strategist queen behind the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus 🏛️

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced

Yeesh!

Kinda tired of the "historians will say they're close friends" meme. Babe, we've been screaming about how gay everyone is for *decades*. Funding for history keeps getting cut as a result. There are entire moral panics about it. You just haven't read any history since highschool.

It is my birthday today 8] please come share my art ♡

I think about this all the time.

students on campuses protesting genocide have been doxxed, targeted by social media harassment campaigns, lost jobs, scholarships, visas; threatened and attacked physically by cops/random strangers allowed onto campuses; and now, been RUN OVER BY A UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT I am in disbelief.

WHATS UP YOU WET MOTHERFUCKERS

Happening online this month: A talk on the very topic of my recent book, and a class on extracting and using safflower red. Details on plantsandcolour.co.uk/abbasid-inks and plantsandcolour.co.uk/secret-red

One of my favorite Oscar Wilde anecdotes is that he once did a reading and Q&A in a mine. With miners. Like down a mineshaft. He had this crazy idea that everybody of every occupation deserved and could benefit from art and information

My biggest conspiracy theory is that telling working class people that engagement in the arts is a middle / upper class thing and to do so makes you a class traitor is a psyop to make them disengaged with themselves and the world and the beauty of being human, so that they accept worse treatment.

The Tales & Feathers Kickstarter is LIVE! Please spread the word and help us keep publishing our quiet little slice of life fantasy magazine. If we reach our stretch goals we'll get a PRINT EDITION which is something we've been wanting since the moment T&F was created! OUR DREAMS COULD COME TRUE!!

When people ask, "How can I promote my art when the world is going to shit" I hear that as, "How do I have the right to make art when the world is going to shit" And... We need art more than ever during such times. You need to be making art more than ever during such times.

Gallop. Playing around with fantasy vibes in digital charcoal/pastels.

Goodnight. ‘The birds are silent in their nest. And I must seek for mine. The moon, like a flower In heaven's high bower, With silent delight Sits and smiles on the night.’ ~ Blake. 🖼️ Antoinette Kelly

Happy May Day my friends The state will never love you back, but your neighbors will. Today, be generous. Be critical of authority. Be thoughtful. You have inherited a legacy paid for by the blood of people who fought for you. We are a collective across time and space. Another world is possible.

Happy May! 🖼️ Grasset
