For Day 1 of #ArtAdventCalendar I’d like to share this grid of tiny watercolor paintings inspired by the work of Etel Adnan.

I painted this during a @caseformaking.bsky.social online workshop earlier this year.

I rewatched ET, was reminded why it was one of my favourites as a kid, and then decided I needed to smash ET’s face into a heart. Then I put words on it because people like words on drawings and who am I to deny the people words?

I designed this sticker to help support my favorite hooman’s top surgery journey. All funds raised goes directly to support them. Sharing this with a friend means the world.✨🖤

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.
@roxanegay.bsky.social maybe you’re right.

You know, I talk a lot about being a wizard, but I want to make one thing perfectly clear: you can not be a real wizard and a TERF.
So this year's #Pride miniature is this wizard (I know we're halfway through June don't come for me 😭)

Planted some natives in the gorge near my home this morning. A big restoration project is happening to try and bring the land back to as much pre settler state as it can be (we did some very fucked up and real strange shit to the gorge) and it felt nice to be a very very puny part of it all 🌱
