Everybody's telling you to build community! And they're right, but not just bc it's good to be less lonely or bc you need a distraction from fascism. It is, in fact, how we win! thewhitepages.net/p/seven-reas...

i still really love handsewing comics and zines. this stack's going to Little Tokyo Zine Fest tomorrow.

do you ever just think about the Agnes de Mille / Martha Graham "keep the channel open" story. i find it so profoundly moving, i had to copy it into my quote book in fountain pen

i've had a rough couple weeks, but rewatching Yuri On Ice for the first time since it came out is helping ⛸️ has it really been ten years...? (!?)

painting done 🔏

first wash. half of my job is letting the ink do as it wishes.
