I call this drawing of mine The Holy Family.

Yup. 😐

How many can identify? Maybe for some, it's always been awkward with family. Because you never felt free to be your authentic self. But it's especially true now that you are questioning your beliefs. And theirs! Understanding this dynamic can help us heal our inner child and our present selves.

Twisty and comfy at the same time. 😸🥨🖤🤎 #Caturday #cats #CatsofBluesky

The commercialization of compassion.

No more wars! I no longer believe the "We are defending freedom" crap! #Nigeria #Venesuela #Afganistan #Iraq #Iran

Happy Holidays to my followers. 🔔🎶🎄

I think some people think he was.

Merry Christmas everyone 🎄🐾🤍

You're not broken. I mean it.

The mantra of spies (and now political representatives apparently): "Admit nothing, deny everything, make counter-accusations."

MERRY DYSFUNCTIONAL XMAS, my free-to-read, snarky, smart-a$$ Xmas story. I hope at least 1 person reads it. 🎄🧑‍🎄🦌 Sexy new Mrs. Claus, gambling addicted reindeer, possible elves' origins 🚀... It's funny, I promise. 😜 #WritingCommunity nikbarnabee.weebly.com/my-newest-st...

A little Christmas purr for you. 🐾🎄🤍

A little thank you 🐾🤍

Oh oh! White baby boy Jesus!

Our beliefs are conditioned. It's time to break that!

#taylorswift fans!

Just a little reminder 🐾🤍 #cat #GentleReminders #mentalhealth

We had a wonderful conversation!

How many people do YOU know who use Jesus as an excuse to be a bully? I can name a few.

Rob loves his tattoo I designed for him! 🏳️‍⚧️

Yes, please. 😬

There are good shepherds, and then there are the other kind.

No room for this family.

The most fun way to wrap presents.

If this is something you still struggle with this video might help you youtu.be/S7R-b4LDt2U?...

This was inspired by my own life as well as the stories of so many people I talk with who grew up terrified of going to Hell and eternal torment and separation from loved ones. Can you relate?

Jesus sleighs! Spread the love!

This is for you if you’re on a journey towards healing. Doing the work is hard, but you’re getting there! Keep going. You’re not alone. 🫶

I drew this back in 2016. If I'd drawn it 2 years later, I would have included, "And he was born in a shithole country!"

I used to believe everything I was taught the Bible said about me. That I was sinful at birth. Disgusting. Broken. Worthy of death. Am I really that bad? No. I’m not. And neither are you. Realising you're not broken and don’t need fixing is one of the most freeing moments you can have.

I have disabled friends, both visible and invisibly disabled, in real life and online, who've shared how they can't go to church without being targeted as someone who needs fixing. Imagine if you always felt like a project!

I hope he gets his wish this Christmas.

Sometimes we share stories from toxic church culture and think they’re normal. But they’re not. It’s a miracle you survived and can even talk about it. ❤️‍🩹 Let's heal. Yes?

Astrology... Then: good. Now: bad.

A little Christmas poem 🐾🎄

This painting was originally created for someone who wanted to honor their inner child and picture themselves carrying them to safety. Your younger self did their best. Now you can be the one who keeps them safe. Be kind to yourself 💙 CARRYING MY INNER CHILD II

Purity culture sucks. Religion tries to interfere with our sexual lives. I know some people who can't enjoy sex because of all the rules, required restraint, and shame. Don't let them do that to you. And if they have, I hope you get healed from that joyless toxin.

Even self-care can turn into another stressful job. This is just a little reminder to take the pressure off when you can. It’s okay to just be sometimes. 🐾

A minister in upstate New York told me they had to take down their Pride bunting because of backlash from their church. So they replaced it with one of my artworks instead, as a quiet act of love and inclusion. It moved me deeply. Love always finds a way to show up, even when it’s hard. 🌈 ❤️
