Gilda is such a bisexual menace of a movie

Damn The Big Sleep is an incredible movie

"I know how to party," I say to myself while taking shots of Robitussin

I shouldn’t have to gentle parent my representatives into protecting the rights of the marginalized and being against obvious acts of war crimes but I guess that’s part of being American weeee

Read this thread.

from someone who was in school for the beginning of the "war on terror," please. please please please. talk to teenagers in your life about not joining the us military. about not letting themselves be groomed by recruiters in schools. they're going to want soldiers, and they always start young.

Ever relevant, this poem by Mary Oliver, especially today.

You should leave Substack in 2026, because they platform fascists regularly, but even before that I am *begging* you to stop referring to your writing as "my Substack" because why give them that agency. It's your writing, your posts, your words, on their platform.

Another Drag Queen comic!

It's rare for a company to sign a contract with the US military AND get caught generating CSAM in the same two-week period. Grok is just built different

Finished reading My Friends by Fredrik Backman, and it was incredible

Sinners is $7.99 on digital. You’re welcome 🌈

For my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, I made 50 tiny doodle frames, showingcasing big and small events from their life together, as well as their hobbies, jobs, pets, places where they lived and traveled to, and more. Assembled on a frame!

*knits more joyfully*

One time, at a convention, a man asked me if I would draw a woman he happened to have photos of ...without her clothes on. So obviously I said NO and my entire weekend was ruined. Which is the only correct response. This post is about AI.

First WIP of 2026 🚬

A large part of the enshittification problem we’re facing is that nobody’s given the time they need to care about getting their job right.

Getting my next tattoo in a month and it's gonna be my gayest one yet

Chronology of carving

Well you can tell by the way I use my walk I’m a woman’s man, no time to talk.

Thinking of making cupid variants of my imp design for a Valentine’s themed drop. Would really like to get back into making plushes for adoption again 🤔 (Below is an imp from a Halloween drop for reference)

Me reflecting on 2025

A lot of us having been saying for years that oceans are battlefields. Welcome I guess, but don’t act like it’s big news.

Unfollow me if you don't believe that oceans are now battlefields

Here they are! These were all made for the various art games I like to play that kept me grounded while I went through hell last year. I'm really proud of this body of work even if it was just for me! I've gained some confidence in my background and color work. All practice is good practice. 😌✨

finally the onion features me!

GM!

If another person shows me, a working artist and writer, their genAI art of them and their kids, I’m gonna cut someone’s hands off

CORRECTED POST: :) MPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: If you are trans at a convention I am at and someone gives you shit about it, let me know and I will come throw a fucking chair at them. This service is complimentary. Also, I have to start proofreading my posts!

Another Drag Queen comic!

As of today, I am a FULL professor. I do not care much for occupational status markers. Still, it is not lost on me that only 2% of full professors are Black women. This goes beyond personal accomplishment. It is a responsibility to do as much as I can for others. That is exactly what I aim to do.

Dog Boop belongs to the people, get drawing

Giving people art they want will only ever—at best—satisfy them. It will never inspire them. That is what AI will never be built to understand.

I hope 2026 is kind to us all

I drew Red Guy for a friend 👹

A new year, a new day

Fellas is it gay to love your partner?
