I’m heartbroken at the loss of Leslie & for YB who he loved deeply & fiercely. For seven years, I had the privilege of knowing him—his mind, his humor, his boundless creativity, & unflinching political clarity. The world is immeasurably poorer without his voice. All gfm will cover funeral & expenses

we are around $8K CAd in the red. help us catch up! bit.ly/eSimsRUs #ConnectingGaza

Sama'a has lost her lifeline. She has been forced to start over, and needs us now more than ever

In Gaza, life is a nightmare. We face airstrikes, hunger, freezing cold, heat, high prices, no clean water, and no medicine. My children are suffering and afraid, and I can’t protect them alone. We are pleading for help, every donation and share matters. Please don’t turn away. gofund.me/edd687b8

Please read this in the gentlest possible voice but we HAVE to divest from mil-sims as gamedevs. Even before this AI bullshit in the latest Black Ops, these games have done so much harm and contributed massively to the dehumanization of several populations worldwide. It’s US foreign pol propaganda.

I LOVE PAINTING SO MUCH WAUGHHHHHH

PORN IS ART, PORN IS GOOD, PEOPLE MAKING PORN IS A SIGN OF A HEALTHY SOCIETY

Masking helps stop disabled people like me dying, being excluded from society, and avoids passing on this kind of preventable illness. But if that’s not worth the tradeoff for you, consider protecting yourself. Just think about if you really need your face uncovered while sat silently on a train

It’s hard to describe the scale of loss and isolation of going from busy and active and healthy to being unable to live independently or do most things. It's exhausting trying to talk about this, but covid is still around, and the most common cause of post-viral illness like mine--

My severe health problems (which mean I’m currently, as usual, in pain and bedbound) come from common viral illnesses I never recovered from. I was fine before that. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone but my worst enemies. Nothing's magically protecting you from becoming disabled. It can happen to anyone.

I get why a lot of non-disabled people want to pretend respiratory illnesses don’t exist, but as we’re coming up on another event I can’t safely attend, I encourage you to just THINK about wearing a mask at events - or at least on the train/ plane there, where there’s probably no reason not to

have been too busy with my day job to work on new paintings, so I've been going back to older pieces I did for a challenge last october in the underpaint server (<3) and reworking them. I've felt stuck lately—always a feature of this season—but it's been encouraging to see progress in this way.

I just want one— ONE— decently-run short-form social media framework in this heaven-forsaken benighted hellscape of an internet age; why is that so much to ask??? bsky.app/profile/mommunism.bsky.social/post/3m5hmytc2xs2f

If there was ever any doubt that the US is a one-party state, let everything that's come out today put that to rest

Winter is coming and a tent is a poor shelter. Please donate if you can.

Whenever I get (very appreciated) compliments about the quiet intimacy in my work - I can trace it back to growing up with «Le Lit» by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. It hung in my parents’ bedroom and I would look at it every day, inventing stories about the two women.

love is everyone in minneapolis texting about the northern lights at the same time :’)

I finally got confirmation that ICE agents have been getting paid this whole shutdown. Only people who’ve had guaranteed pay this whole time are the lawmakers responsible for the shutdown and kidnappers

so elated by good news at physical therapy (I am very improved!) that I thought, surely I can walk home and get a latte on the way back—surely that will not be too much, regardless of all past evidence to the contrary—surely! anyways this is me now.

Some character sheets for my upcoming webcomic ANNIVERSARY, whose first chapter will arrive sometime in January (🤞) on a neocities site near you. It’s a semi dark fantasy, kinda-medieval queer erotica. Been working on it for 3 years! Hope you can look forward to it :-)

I think the painted version of this drawing turned out okay. 👉👈This was done in watercolors, with graphite, gouache and chalk pastel finishing touches.

instead of counting sheep I’m playing a fun game to fall asleep called I wonder how long I will be able to afford the medication that keeps my heart rate from jumping to 140-160bpm when I stand up…

my sweet creature..

I'm genuinely very glad for people who don't have to deal with healthcare here but I'm a little weary of all the "why do americans just accept this? here healthcare's FREE" etc comments on posts by folks who can't afford their monthly premium jumping from $300 to $900 (or 1k to 3k!) in 2026.

The bigger fight? Buddy, I die without health care and your pals in the Senate — none of whom will ever go without access to lifesaving medical care — told me they were gonna fight so my premiums don't go up 50%. And then they folded.

Will be weighing in on the ACA debacle when we can but today’s show feels quite topical: a liberal party rushes to the right, abandons its base and its own interests, and puts care in jeopardy for the people whose health is already most harmed by capitalism

We’re struggling so much today. Odai’s medicine is running out, and we have nothing left for food or daily needs. 💔 Even $200 could help us get his treatment and some food to make it through the day. Your support means warmth, hope, and life for us. 🙏 gofund.me/77a751af7

scheduled my MRI of my brain, scheduled my occupational therapy, called about my follow-up with my optometrist, confirmed details with dermatologist regarding upcoming biopsy, ordered my meds from my virtual appointment with my pcp on friday, and still didn't finish all my medical tasks for today.

thank you to everyone who has gotten something so far! there are three paintings left, and plenty of zines and artbooks. maxbanshees.com/available-wo...

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

Your donation or share today for my children shows that you still believe in freedom, humanity, and the value of life. 💔 They have no home, no nutritious food, no clean water, no warm clothes for winter. Every action gives them a chance to survive. gofund.me/edd687b8

How does your pathetic "plan" keep me alive through 2026? How does it pay the premium increase I face? How fucking dare you come on here with this bullshit.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

waugh, I'd love to start a monthly masked figure drawing meetup in minneapolis...

also!! tomorrow, i'll have some paintings and zines available. i'm shipping internationally for most of them, but you'll have to read the FAQ if you plan on ordering multiple items. maxbanshees.com/available-wo...

The Supreme Court granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments.

taking the weekend off after working 19 days straight, I can't wait to walk around my house absentmindedly trying to figure out what task I'm forgetting to do.

not to be hyperbolic but reading the pdf changed my artistic trajectory and conception of what type of trans art I let myself make, and also seeing trans men portrayed in such a raw and erotic way has rearranged my brain. don’t sleep on joe’s work but especially BOY SKIN

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

There are no words for how evil this is

I love you erin. ♥️

Experimenting with impasto techniques in acrylic gouache [ #sketch ]

Another day another lineart, again. Kinda looks like Alucard

I talk to the press professionally, I'm really, really, really good at it. So please, please believe me when say you cannot turn this interview request into anything good, it will do only harm. Harm to you, harm to your child, harm to other children.

Sama'a and her family need us more than ever. Israel continues to bomb and blockade the people of Palestine as they struggle to rebuild. Please give what you can. gofund.me/db56c7ce3

Just checking you all know about Spirit Swap, the game that came out this year that I directed alongside many incredibly skilled friends and workers! We’re a majority (uh I’m pretty sure 100% tbh) marginalized people co-op and self-published! Please check out our trailer I love it so much!
