Hey y'all, it's been a while since I posted art - I've been working SUPER hard on getting my next enamel pin set ready for launch!

It's just about time, so get ready - on October 21st, I'll be launching The Dark Wood, an enamel pin set inspired by European fairy tale characters, with a dark twist!

Graphic showing my next pin set. Each pin is based on a fairy tale character including little red riding hood, the goose girl, the little mermaid, rumpelstiltskin, snow white, sleeping beauty, cinderella, and rapunzel.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

That was a work of art. Every environment was a masterpiece. The music was breathtaking. The end was so emotional. Ugh…I loved it SO MUCH. 10/10 I can’t wait to play it again and again 💖 thank you @giantsquidstudios.com and @awintory.bsky.social for once again killing it. 💖

I am finally about to play Sword of the Sea. Even just the main menu music is making me want to cry, it’s so pretty.

Not sure my body is ready for the emotions I’m probably going to feel 😂

A great piece that hasn’t aged a day since 1941.

Play the game the next time you’re in a room full of people. I’ve played it. I think for some people it’s almost a reflex. “Which one of you would call the Gestapo on me, and which would watch, relieved, as I was taken from my home in the night?”

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.
