Happy new year 2026

does anyone know how to delete their own feed? I made one probably almost over a year ago for my art before bluesky had a media tab and I can't get rid of it 😭

from a journal entry

while my mom was pregnant with me, she was delivering chinese food on bike in new orleans. i like to think that the music she heard in the streets made me the way i am now. happy new year everyone!

2025 was such an incredible and challenging year, I learned so much about myself and the art I made felt like a natural outcome of that #artvsartist #artvsartist2025

The time has come to finally delete all my art off twitter

Happy holidays! 🎄 This year’s card was inspired by vintage pushpin ornaments I bought secondhand—I’ve never been super invested in collecting holiday decor, but when I saw these I had to have them! Fluo pink, blue and yellow printed at CopyCat Studio #risograph

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

stayed up til 5am to finish this year's holiday card...it's done, but at what cost

A heartfelt thank you to all who buy from independent artists, hire us, or even share our work or give words of encouragement. Even the most established of artists are feeling a decline in work and sales this year. Your support in all or any way is felt and appreciated amongst us! Thank you!!

Canadian friends, your government is seeking commentary on GenAi strategies and policies. Please let them know exactly how you feel about GenAi, it’s impacts, and what next steps should be! Perhaps it’s respecting artists works, environmental considerations and so on! Share your thoughts here 👇

they think they can just erase trans joy and trans freedom. they can't. they can make things a lot harder and more painful. but that joy and that freedom is not theirs to take and it is incumbent on all good people to say so.
