Going back and redrawing some of my favorite old Oc's <3
Meet O'Lea Twig! I ended up shortening her hair for this which I sort of regret, but her hair canonically goes down to her ankles!

O'Lea lies contentedly curled up under the shade of many trees.

Salty Sally lost me like 20 followers over on IG, hopefully you guys like her better because I think she’s cute

The thing that most people don't realize is that the deportation machine was already operating at capacity. No one, ever, was just allowing millions of undocumented immigrants into the country willy-nilly. That was mythology. The process to get legal status in this country is already a very high bar

The first numbers in this blew my mind.

ICE made 100k arrests from January to June, which was double the same period last year. The shocking part to me is that it was only double, though. I certainly didn’t know they arrested so many people under Biden.

In desperate need to catch up with rent 526$ behind and in need of groceries so badly. We continue to grieve and mourn Toby. The pain is unbearable.

Meet my newest creation Edith the Moth Phantom! I designed and hand-sewed her. She enjoys singing sea shanties with her cryptid band. They perform primarily for the moon. She also likes appearing to travelers as good or bad omens, depending on her mood.

Here's a lovely photo of my fabric art moth phantom. She's a white moth phantom with a gray face, large twinkly black eyes, and a little frown. She has curly white antennae. There are black and gray oval markings on her wings. There's a beautiful galaxy print fabric in the background.

Here's another lovely pic of Edith. In this one, she's resting on my palm.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

OK, it’s Fall Break, so you’ve got me live again tonight.

i think people sometimes misinterpret me to be a contrarian because my most of my opinions run contrary to mainstream opinions and mainstream education; however, my alleged contrarian-ness is a byproduct of my life experiences teaching and forcing me to see and understand things differently

People talk about the new Negro, but he’s been coming for three hundred years. The country thinks he’s new because they’ve never had to look at him before. And they are looking at him now, not because there’s been a change of heart, but only because they must.”

I know more about you, therefore, than you know about me. I’ve had to spend my life, after all—and all the other Negroes in the country have had to spend their lives—outwitting and watching white people. I had to know what you were doing before you did it.

“You give me this advantage: that whereas you have never had to look at me, because you’ve sealed me away along with sin and hell and death and all the other things you didn’t want to look at, including love, my life was in your hands, and I had to look at you.

Sad to say, few of the Palestinians I've heard from have much faith in the ceasefire being a real end to hostilities. Meanwhile, Samaa is worried about Talia, who is fatigued and has skin damage from the heat. Can you help? gofund.me/db56c7ce3 @mommunism.bsky.social @lexialex.bsky.social #SkyAid 🍉👶🍼

Energy requirements for AI mean that the only way for the bubble not to burst would require companies to multiply their carbon footprint to an unimaginable degree. Right now, while AI is barely functional and mostly a novelty for the lazy, it requires so much energy that data centers rival cities.

like, maybe it’s just me, but i do expect people to be kind, understanding, respectful, supportive, empathetic, etc. towards me and others and if they aren’t then i can extricate myself from them/our relationship without making a big deal about it

i think the whole “don’t have any expectations of people and you won’t be disappointed” thing is a way to normalize allowing people to be pieces of shit without recourse

i'm not and have never been much of a talker; however, if/when i have something to say and i believe it will contribute to—not detract from, distract from, or make me the sole focus of—the conversation, i'll say it

if not, it always feels wrong to pretend i do

One of the most nefarious actions that actually takes place on a regular basis is that laws & rules meant to protect those historically violated by our status quo and the individuals upholding it are weaponized against us.

It's also why I think Ethics should be required continuing ed for lawyers.
