Can I findom my way into having privacy? Like...someone who wants to send me a couple k every month to get a 2br apartment to make art in. Alone. I'll do it naked but no sexy performance, just a fat queer leftist artist who won't send nudes and call you a cuck for even asking. Just spit balling idk.

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Instead of taking the bus home this morning, I hiked across Mount Tabor to feel my body and see big trees. Some of the moments that felt beautiful or notable were photographed to make the feeling easier to remember later.

Life has been brutal lately. End of May my spouse of 12 years abruptly ended our relationship without any warning. Agonizingly, we are still living together as she lacks the skills to safely/cordially navigate separation. I'm trying to hold some semblance of hope but it feels impossible most days.

Taking extra Tylenol to make sure I'm too autistic to be raptured tomorrow.

Why do I vacillate wildly between dark and moody complex artworks and bright affirming pop-art. These were painted within just a couple weeks of each other. #adhdartist #painting #watercolor #traditionalart

Controversial take but I'm probably in favor of Muskolini forming his own political party. We have seen how green and independent voters have broken up cohesion in the democratic party for close elections. Anything with potential to dilute the power of the fundamentalist right is a good thing.

Incredible news for trans people - the Medicaid provision is out of the Trump horror bill. It did not require a point of order vote, and instead, Republicans pulled it out on their own, likely knowing they would lose the vote. Good job to everyone for calling their Senators.

Today, senator Ron Wyden will raise a point of order to remove the Medicaid and CHIP ban on gender affirming care. The Republicans need 60 votes to keep it in but they only have 53. Call your Dem senator today and urge them to vote to strip the ban from the bill. Senate switchboard 202-224-3121.

There isn’t always a logical why to feeling the way we do, just that we do. #furryart #furry #therapythoughts

Disappeared here for a month bc my life blew up. Partner of 12 yrs announced the end of our relationship without warning and since then I've been in full traumabrain incl extreme OCD, pain flare, and memory problems. The ESA are definitely earning their kibble these days. #mentalhealth #ocdrecovery

Can you imagine how awesome it would be if there was a country that *actually* followed the United States constitution? Probably as awesome as a religion that *actually* follows Jesus. Oh, well.

Update: It took the neighbors at least 15 minutes after I noticed the crows already into the food to finally come out and retrieve it. I have so many questions. Mainly, who leaves their doordash sitting outside that long? In a neighborhood that has crows, racoons, and coyotes daily? And it's rainy?

Watching my crow friends go to town on the neighbor's door dash breakfast is making my day. I feel bad for the neighbors but at this point that food is for the birds.

New Limited Edition print is up on my shop and will be available in person at St Johns Bizarre in Portland this Saturday! Oddfoxandfern.com/store/c3/Prints.html#/

In case you didn't know, I always want mushroom themed accessories. Especially socks. #fungifriends

Saw this across my timeline and… yeah that sums it up

This is the best 100-day recap I’ve seen — and it begs the damn question: Why is his approval rating still 39%? Are folks in a coma?

Building true safety and community resilience requires difficult growth. Not all conflict is abuse. Not all shitty behavior should be solved by ostracization. Some, yes, but if that's always your first solution, you're constantly cutting the legs out from under yourself.

Responded to a Q on Threads about 🚩 in queer spaces w/ cancel culture that prevents repair or community restoration after minor individual harms. No surprise that brought out the zealots claiming I protect abusers, but replicating carceral systems is a toxic response to trauma, not true safety.

Working on a new zine today. Sketches are done. Refining it tonight and hopefully will have them at Hood River Cider Fest this Saturday! #arttherapy

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

I'm finally tackling my backlog of biz accounting from ALL OF 2024 and both wondering how I made so much money and also wondering how I still feel so completely unable to survive on this income... Like 60% of it was business expenses.

My dad's cousin traced our ancestor on the Dawes Rolls. Minnie's name was misspelled there by 1 letter so it'd be hard to establish official ancestry for me but I don't really know what I'd do with that anyway. Its a relief that as problematic as she was, at least Great Grammy wasn't a pretendian.

Fellow working artists, share the many hats you've worn to get where you are now! Industries I have worked in no particular order: Luxury Retail Food Service Technical Theater Farming Sex/Relationship Education Conservation Automotive Special Events Childcare Administrative #artist #artjourney

BREAKING: A federal judge finds Trump’s order banning transgender people from getting accurate passports is likely unconstitutional. The court ordered the State Department to allow correct gender markers for our clients as we continue to argue until this order is blocked for everyone.

Rewatching Bridgerton and am just perpetually infuriated by the epic levels of queerbaiting in this show.

New naturally dyed felt brooches are in the works!

Google is no longer trustworthy. People have to keep in mind that Google is essentially state run media, they filter all of the search results.

I miss spotting these in random landscaping. I don't see them much around Portland. Maybe that's why I love the sticker I made of them so much...

Fuck my OCD is so loud today...

FOCUS is the word. Cos the "divided we will fall" part is real loud right now.

Do not forget that Niemöller started his political journey as a Nazi sympathizer and antisemite. It wasn't until his rights were attacked that he began to realize he had been on the wrong side of history all along. We can't afford to live with the same regrets again. hmd.org.uk/resource/fir...

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

My latest. On the way antisemitism has become redefined as support for Palestinian life. And how that has led to the supposed fight against antisemitism becoming bigotry itself. And how that, then, has led to the failure to fight actual antisemitism in our midst, endangering Jews along the way.

Colossal’s bungled wolf announcement isn’t a conservation win. It’s a sad reminder of how the offensively rich want to foist their vision of the future on everyone. My latest for @slate.com

Got the idea for asking friends to share my art for my birthday from @lauragarabedian.bsky.social and this happened. I just fucking can't with people anymore. Don't post AI on real artists posts. Espey don't in response to us asking for help promoting bc being a painter is hell thanks to slop. #art

It's my birthday so I foraged mushrooms to spend my afternoon painting! Check out this Hypholoma bring me sunshine on a rainy spring day ☀️ #sciart #fungifriends

The #SAVEact is an active attack on the voting rights of anyone who has ever changed their name for any reason- mainly married/divorced women, victims of familial abuse, and queer people. It is DESIGNED to make the midterms an ineffective avenue of political change.

I don't know why I continue to be shocked by the dismissiveness of cis white women in response to outcries against the #SAVEAct. "It's not that dire. You just need ID." Yes it's fucking is that dire, ESPECIALLY when people IDs and birth records are being seized BY THE GOVT.

WAIT WE HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY?? 😍

Bro come over we’re going to play outside

Disabled people make art. Busy single parents make art. Prisoners make art. What genAI users feel entitled to is not art, it's a shortcut around the labor it takes to build a skill. It's a supremacist mindset that art is only worth making if it meets a standard of beauty, marketability. #art 🖌️🎨

And here I am forgetting to tag in to #fungifriends with this because I'm an ADHD gremlin.

Posted this ridiculousness to the NAMA insta on my first takeover day on Monday but feel like it needs to be here too. Could you tell that #mushrooms are my special interest? 🍄

Meanwhile I can barely get commissioners to pay over $200 😭
