finished the SEETHING mini quilt yahoo. Center panel is digitally printed and hand quilted, the borders and corners are machine pieced. This is a little over 11” square, but obviously pretty wonky cuz of the dense quilting and cutting on the bias. I had fun!

In 2022, I made an academic zine from the results of a week-long survey on kigurumi, identity, and gender.

I finally found the scans, so now it's free to read on itch!

November thus far
Photo of an orange tabby cat sitting on a desk in front of a window. His head is obscured by a orange and yellow printed sheer curtain. The desk has a plant and various art supplies on it. On the side is another plant, and on the other is a lamp. There are prints on the wall beside the window frame. Photo of Higu’s yellow gloved hand holding wet, squished black walnut matter. Under higu’s hand is a sieve resting on an orange bucket. The sieve is holding more black walnut matter. The bottom of the bucket contains liquid black walnut pigment. Photo of Henri the orange tabby standing with his front legs on a windowsill behind a patchwork curtain. He’s stretched tall and his neck is at a weird angle bc he’s doing weird cat things (watching leaves blow in the breeze). Outside, the leaves on the trees have turned yellow. Framed portrait of Chopin (i think). The frame is sitting on the floor and leaning against a bright yellow bookshelf. Behind it is a glimpse of some bookshelf items: A Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys book, a Super Gals anime boxset, some comics, novels, and a basket of cords.

24 hours after the Israeli army announced it would reopen the Zikim crossing, it remains closed, with no trucks entering Gaza, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports. The shutdown leaves all of northern Gaza without a functioning entry point for humanitarian or commercial supplies, straining daily life for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians returning to the area. Zikim is one of seven ground crossings into Gaza, but only two are currently operating — and only a trickle of aid has entered over the past month. Mahmoud says the ground reality directly contradicts claims that conditions are improving; in reality, shortages are worsening, and the few goods available on the market are largely non-essential.

Keep Trying
#art
a digital drawing of a gray cat with a capped eye and studded collar, leaning forward and bleeding from the nose. It looks at the viewer with defiance or determination. Text around it says “get killed eight times/ come back nine”. The red border around the image has two cars, arrows, knives, and poison bottles, numbered to match its deaths.

once again, Bluesky has deleted Sama'a's account in spite of its minimal activity and strict observance of the site's rules.

Sama'a and her husband often go without so that their girls can eat. I have watched them grow thinner and thinner, and I beg you to join me in giving them a little comfort.

a black and white digital drawing shaded with halftones. A wolf in a leather jacket and leopard skirt and a jackrabbit in cowboy clothes clasp hands. They’re styled after vintage plushies or dolls.

Small quilt for a market! I have a handful of fabric pieces printed with this old drawing of mine, but this was the only one cut so the math wouldnt be annoying. The center is a digital print that i hand quilted, the surrounding blocks are machine pieced and quilted ✨
Photo of a small quilt wall hanging. The center of the quilt is printed with a drawing of a yellow hand surrounded by pink vines; the hand has a tattoo of a sword. On each side of the centerpiece is a row of flying geese pointing upward. Above and below the centerpiece are strips of pink and white checkered fabric. The corner pieces of this quilt are quarter square triangle blocks. A closeup of the quilting on the centerpiece.

Small quilt for some friends who got married recently
Photo of a small quilt block wall hanging. The design features a cowboy boot made from different fabrics. The boot has a heart with the date “September 27 2025” embroidered in it. To the right of the boot are the names “ANNAH + AMOS”, done in yellow fabric, hand stitched appliqué.

we're now eligible for our electricity to get shut off even though i put in a protection for our account, whether they do their job properly or not idk what's gonna happen. anything helps to go towards rent/bills because my husband can't support us both like this.. it's been over a fucking month.

was really hoping i wouldn't have to ask, but the shutdown will be stifling my income until it reopens and that doesn't guarantee backpay, even as i work during it.. i'm sorry to have to ask, but anything helps to keep me and my husband on our feet during the uncertainty.

The Amazing World Of Tomorrow
A comic strip titled The Amazing World of Tomorrow. A food delivery robot cooler drives down a sidewalk. It crashes into a rental scooter. It backs up. It crashes into the rental scooter again. The scooter wobbles. The scooter falls to the ground as the food delivery robot backs up again. A driverless taxi crashes into both the scooter and the food delivery robot sending them flying.
