Queer artist in Cumbria. Mental health and queer identity. No AI. No NFTs.
My self-perception has become distorted. I thought I was healing. I was wrong.

Queer spaces are important. Especially now as fascism continues to rear its ugly little head. Please share and donate if you can x

Stop using AI. Yes, even just for fun. AI is built on STOLEN images and text. That’s right: by using it, you’re stealing from your friends. There is NOT ethical generative AI. Bonus bullshit: it is HORRENOUS for the environment. (Yes, even the cutesy profile photo cartoon things.)

I’ve put together The Blue Lotus Club; a group of creative queers to deliver workshops, exhibitions and events to LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and other marginalised groups.
