HI I'm NAN, I'm a multidisciplinary artist learning how to tell stories and express myself through different mediums!

Right now I'm having a blast world building around a couple of original characters and sharing all my silly art :3 (and doing my best not to take any of it too seriously lol!)

When it comes to traditional Indigenous tattoos, Two-Spirit artists are “genderqueering the practice.”

I left (grad school in Canada) and am very homesick. I don’t miss “America” but I love NYC and it’s basically the only place I ever saw myself living. I’m lucky that I’ve had such a smooth exit and I hope that I’ll be able to help others leave if they need to but MAN it’s stressful.

I cannot express how tired i am of thinking about, worrying about, talking about, and stressing about whether it's time for me to flee the United States while I have the means and opportunity to do so.

If you're wanting to support indigenous creators today, a place i look at often is a website called: ᐋᓃᓐ aaniin.
It's an online marketplace that hosts a variety of artists' works!
(They even had a popup store recently in Toronto!)

Hadih! I'm Jay, and I'm an LGBTQ+ Wet'suwet'en artist who makes formline art! Here I share my artwork as well as hyperfixation ramblings and other stuff that catches my fancy! Hope you enjoy your stay!~

A print illustration with a limited green, cream, and dark blue palette. The poster is divided into six rectangular sections. The top left shows a formline design of a raven in flight. The top right shows an illustration of Hornby Island Azhdarchids. The middle left shows a cliff overlooking the ocean, with bird-like silhouettes flying above. The middle right shows a shoreline of the ocean, with bird-like tracks in the sand. The bottom left shows an illustration of a raven. The bottom right shows a formline illustration of a Hornby Island Azhdarchid in flight.

A formline design where the base shape is the mask of Hornet from Hollow Knight. Inside the mask is the formline designs- the torso of a spider across the lower face area, clutching an egg with infection droplets trailing down beneath the eyes. On the mask's left horn is a butterfly trailing upwards, with a chrysalis at the tip. On the mask's right horn is a hornet trailing upwards, with a larvae at the tip. The mask is off-white/pale yellow, and the formline designs range in shades from a light orange at the bottom, to a pale to dark salmon in the middle, to a bright red at the top.

A formline design of a hyena. The hyena is walking, with one back leg and one front leg raised, and it's back is arched forward, with a mane on it. It's head is tilted downward. The whole piece is coloured a near black with maroon and yellow-orange highlights, and the background is a solid bright orange.

A formline Illustration of a blue Glaucus with a circle design behind it. The design is backlit with stars and coloured in shades of dark blue to light teal.

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service.

Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

Paris Marx @parismarx.com · 13d

The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network.

This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.

Call your senators and your house rep.
Make a stink by being clear that abandoning trans adults and children is a no-go.

1. Trump has dug in on anti-trans provisions in the shutdown fight this morning, cancelling a meeting with Dems unless they cave on trans people.

His post to Truth Social is a clear indication that Republicans are making targeting trans people a priority.

I may be a SFW creator, simply because I just want to have a family friendly space for all ages to enjoy--and I prefer to keep that side of me separate from work.

But I do stand with NSFW artist and creators. Blackouts don't do shit.

The last thing people should do is be silent.

chitchats not allowing you to format shipping labels for a label printer unless you use a specific software instead of, yknow, giving you the option to export a 4x6 label, is totally fine and cool
