Community Trash 26 - made this one for a Secret Santa!

I've been rereading old journal entries. November 2009 (had just turned 14): "I wore my starfleet uniform made out of long underwear. my mom was like 'you're gonna be so embarrassed don't go out in that' and my dad was like 'OH COOL A STARFLEET UNIFORM AWESOME'"

this is y2k, to me

hitting play on the audiobook of bang bodhisattva by aubrey wood and immediately being met with this epigraph is, i think, the fastest a book has ever made me laugh #trr26

The year is 2027. McDonald's AI kiosk won't take my card until I decline a $1.99 protection plan on the happy meal toy. In a moment of weakness, I decide to pay for my 10 chicken nuggets over time with Klarna.

starting to do research on a subject you know nothing about is like me: "okay. first question: how do lawyers work?" source: "um... well, what kind of lawyer are we talking about" me: *writing down enthusiastically* there are types of lawyers

I absolutely burst out laughing

Ashley continues to organize for Minnesotans and this is one more way you can help, if you're a frequent flyer. And: it's fucking bleak that we have to crowdfund flights for law-abiding people who have been abducted by ICE, taken to another state, released, and given NO help to get home.

Worcester has long had a history of amazing secrets hidden inside old warehouses: Hunchback Gallery is the latest in that tradition.

New rule. Journalists aren't allowed to post puff pieces about impossible work and fitness schedules without asking stuff like "who does your laundry? Who cooks your steak and eggs? How does your dusting get done if you're out on a long run?"

Five jobs I've had: - copywriter - a startup's sole marketing employee - freelance photographer - illicit barber - mall food court crepe restaurant cashier

If you see ICE in Massachusetts, call LUCE: 617-370-5023. They can get the info out to protect our vulnerable neighbors.

Disco Objects (Compulsion), 2025 Origami paper, papier-mache, acrylic, and mirror tile Modular origami and ‘disco objects’ (unconventionally shaped objects with reflective finishes) have long been two of my less serious creative hobbies. Every winter since I was a child, I’ve found myself (cont'd)

Regardless of how one feels about dairy I think we can all agree that we are further from God's light than we were in 1996 on this one:

I need my cyberpunk back-alley surgeon called Stryker to have named herself after Susan

big, if true

This is what I looked like in 2016. It was an angry time in my life, I don’t think I acted well all the time, but ultimately I’m proud of how I saw myself through it

Hey there Delilah What's it like in Roku City?

mrbeast should be a position like president rather than a specific guy, and we should be able to impeach — or otherwise overthrow — the current one and replace him with someone else. it’s time for us to install leftist mutual aid mrbeast. he will heal our broken nation

Ok fellow skeeters - this is how we take care of each other. I’ll match the next 1,000$ in donations. Reply below when you donate.

Don't let Zimbardo win

Dear artists, it's hard avoiding wondering if what we do is irrelevant or an insult when it's harsh, scary, dangerous & violent out there, but one thing is always true as stone: someone will need what you do, someone won't, & you won't know the difference. Err on the side of hope. Create if u can.

lol lmao even

As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods

writing is so funny because you think wow I hope people read this thing I made but also oh no what if people read it

The Boston-area also has some pretty robust rapid response networks in place already. People doing this work are actively building capacity for a surge. We are ready.

Community Trash #25 (Black Rose) Mixed media art waste (acrylic, spray paint, plastic and wood detritus) on canvas This one is so called because I accidentally made it a similar color scheme to the Thin Lizzy album cover of the same name by Jim Fitpatrick.

Not like I was gonna watch this anyway, but at this length you better be giving me two intermissions.

Cis writers’ trans characters: “This is Lyrica Womanheart, her power is she has no definable personality beyond serving as a gravitational center for word boxes that vaguely gesture at discrimination and she SUPER strong.” Trans writers’: “This is Debby and she’s a bitch. I’m gonna torture her.”

Ordinary Sausage is my emotional support cishet man. "Let's sausage!"

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Write the book you would like to see someone pull from a higgledy piggledy pile in a secondhand shop 63 years after your death and say, "This looks fucking weird. I think I will buy it for Joan."

Community Trash #24 (Harvey), 2025 Mixed media art waste (acrylic, paper towel, foam) on reclaimed plywood This one is a nod to Harvey Ball, a Worcester local and the inventor of the happy face. Happy new year 🙂

All my coughs are productive #grindset #sputum

Community Trash #23, 2025 Mixed media art waste (acrylic, paper towel, paint tubes, brushes, pens/pencils) on canvas I made this as a "baby sibling" to that big paint tube piece I finished earlier this year!

Community Trash #22 (FUCK), 2025 Mixed media art waste (laser cut wood, silk flowers, polyfill, miniature supplies) on reclaimed plywood You could say I really gave a fuck with this one. Last chance to catch this and/or many other trash paintings at Hunchback Gallery's Off the Wall show thru Dec 27!

The most wonderful time of the year.

Everything about AI is the worst thing about AI, but the worst thing for me is its tone of chipper flattery ("You're right!"), a tone that people apparently love to hear directed at them. I feel like a mutant because every time people talk like that to me I start looking for the hidden knife.

YES IT IS ONLY 3:15PM AND THE SUN IS IN FACT SETTING BUT HAVE YOU HEARD IT'S THE SOLSTICE TOMORROW THE PAIN IS ON ITS WAY OUT FELLAS

I once got a compliment on my dress from another woman and my response was simply, “Thanks. It has pockets!” and she said, “Isn’t it sad how little it takes to please us?” and that comment has lived rent fucking free in my head ever since.

Oh right, I deleted my old posts but comics should live forever. Here's one about having a cat

Amazing details! This Japanese articulated dragon figurine is made of rusetted iron. Crafted in the late 1800s. Part of the Worcester Art Museum exhibit of Higgins Arms and Armor! #art #dragon #sculpture

This is so fucking metal

Very unexpectedly sold a copy of my zine today so might as well plug it now that I'm actually unemployed! All Jack & Al comics in one place 👀

I heard there was a secret meat With paprika, and spicy heat But you don't really care for sausage Nduja ...sorry, I can delete this. I've just seen a few posts in this format and I wanted in.

All of this is fucked up but this is fucked up

Have they tried ringing up all the people they fired and replaced with ChatGPT?

For decades, Penguin Random House has proven that you can just zoom in on a royalty free image, add a black banner along the bottom, and then place the title on the banner in a bold white font, and people will not only find them beautiful but buy them!

Community Trash #21, 2025 Mixed media art waste (paper towel, wood, metal) on poplar This one uses clay tools from a stranger on Buy Nothing, popsicle sticks and scrap from Technocopia members, and paper towel from my oil painter friend Sophie Pearson. Catch it at Hunchback Gallery through Dec 27!
