Seriously it’s like there is a giant chunk of tech people who don’t understand that when you’ve learned how to write, you feel proud, you look forward to doing more of it, you cheerfully neglect your other work just so you can write more

...starts chanting "Spring! Spring! Spring!" as i press my seedling's roots into the earth and the thunderstorm rolls in...

What made pre-modern artists great? The fact that they didn't have nonstop music to vibe out to while they painted and sculpted. They probably didn't feel like doing the work ALL the time, but pulled their druthers together enough times to get it done. Over and over and over. Mad respect.

Being self employed is awesome until you cant concentrate for a whole day and get zero work done. And then get mess up your whole week's workflow. Im normally so good at this but today my mind is fluttering around like a drunk butterfly! Uuuuugh

Taking a break from heavy content for the day...

My work this week requires me to draw violent acts from US history. It's emotional work. So I'm warming up by drawing this lynx bebe. I hope you all hold onto your peace this this.

Teaching my neighbor how our composting tumblers work & inviting her to contribute when she has scraps. This morning she rushed out to give me a bag of old lettuce, apologizing that it already started to brown and so shocked/relieved when I said that decomposing is what its all about. I love this.

Great day nature journaling with the Philly Nature Journaling Club today. Not a cloud in the sky and so many little green things popping up everywhere

I live near an inlet that someone has named "Turtledelphia" and, appropriately, the rock sunners have come out if hibernation and are ready to charm us all season. Happy Spring!

Our last days to pre-order the 2nd edition and hot-n-swampy expansion pack are here! Check them out: www.kickstarter.com/projects/out...

I've been told it's an ornamental tree. "It does nothing for the environment." But every day, dozens of sparrows wake up within the thickest part, shaking the greenery in the face of the breeze. This useless tree is home. There is so much bird shit under it.

Every day more reports come in of community members getting snatched off the streets. New Sanctuary Movement helps track who gets sent where and supports family and community left behind. Sales of this shirt go to that effort. Get yours: philadelphiaprintworks.com/products/kee...

Winter wouldn't seem to budge. Heavy, cold, dark. Forever. But against my every willingness to hope, the geese fly north. The hay is picked for nests. The buds that clung to the branches are loosening. Thank the gods for the seasons' timely stubbornness. Never let me stay dormant for too long.

Check out the 2nd edition and expansion pack for Defenders! I've been hunching over my drafting table scrawling out drawing for this awesome game. Im so pumped for this!!

I make a lot of assumptions when climate activists say they use chatgpt for anything. Do people not believe that data centers are bleeding towns of water and electricity? Is it just that they dont want to think about it even though they've heard it's bad? Its too convenient to deny? What is it?

Wondering why my back is killing me after a day of drawing and then getting a photo of how i sit for hours at a time... 🤦‍♀️

Join us in our first 2026 OUTDOOR meet up in March! We are really hoping that Spring will be well on its way by then. Crossing all the fingers. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Yip yip! Spring is coming and we are pushing for the flowers! This is a really nice article. 😍🐞🐝🌸

During the last storm, we set up this lil protected place for the birds & squirrels to eat. It's under a tree, so there's less snow. It's holding up well. The birds are OBSESSED.

Heavy heavy

My friend goes to church with Eulugio, who was just abducted up by ICE in South Philly. No criminal record, supporting his family and community... this sh*t is so f*ed. Please consider donating to his family, who now doesnt have a source of income without him. This is why we do what we do.

I will never NOT get butterflies before lecturing in this gorgeous hall at the Wagner Free Institute of Science 🤩🦋

JUST IN: The National Park Service is restoring the slavery displays to the President’s House at Independence Mall, one day ahead of the judge’s deadline. The latest: www.audacy.com/kywnewsradio...

It's taken 20 years as an artist but... I am finally caving to the fact that wearing a glove while drawing is indeed the best way to protect my paper from my skin oils. And that indeed is important. I resisted for so long. Gloves are weird to draw in. But also they are the best.

So fun to see this art take to the streets for another year. ✊ do your thing, lil posters! And actually the person organizing the posters getting hung up and seeds being distributed 😍@sarahmackattack.bsky.social

I was hoping to finish this today, but the power was out for a bit and I didn't quite make in. I'll come pack to it tomorrow for all the finishing touches. FUCK ICE!

I dream of summer

Oooooo watch out for our expansion pack Kickstarter! I've been drawing so many fun lil animal fighters for this game. Follow the page to get notified!

I'll never get tired of watching the Delaware River in all its stages

So, scientists- am I right in thinking that this prolonged intense cold in the Philly area will decrease the amount of mosquitoes and ticks this year? (Please please please say yes)

Carving is not easy. But very cathartic.
