Come make lil doodads at Intro to UV Resin Jewelry!

UV resin is an easy-to-use resin that doesn't require mixing. It's easier than epoxy resin and cures when exposed to UV light, leaving you plenty of time to perfect your art before it's dry! All materials provided and you can take them home!!

Laser print reproduction of my original woodcut art, which appears in THE STARRY WISDOM LIBRARY CATALOGUE OF THE GREATEST OCCULT AUCTION OF ALL TIME. On 5x7" maple wood veneer so it fits off-the-shelf frames of that size. #bsnm xylographilia.etsy.com/listing/4297...

If you're quiet about your disabilities, you get accused of being a fake. If you're outspoken, you get accused of being attention seeking.

Disabled people deserve to be believed and supported without hate. We deserve to be able to thrive.

Happy #PortfolioDay!

I hand paint space scenes on ceramics with glaze.

In direct opposition to white male billionaire space colonization, I'm interested in moments of quiet, thoughtfulness, longing, love, and inner strength.

My favorite detail from this article:

"Premium chatbots provided more confidently incorrect answers than their free counterparts."

If that’s not some kind of metaphor for life in 2025 I dunno what is
Lets replace search with "AI" then! Totally logical if you ask me. Even more worth it when you know they're exponentially overtaking the airline industry in their carbon footprint.

from what i know, its actually the solvents that are the biggest isuse, as most oil paint is just linseed oil and pigment. many solvents like turpentine and white spirit. they are toxic and flammable! read the safety data sheets for the materials you work with!
PLEASE. PLEASE. If you are an oil painter or even traditional artist, READ THIS. Take as many precautions as you can with your art.

The truth is that when you actually ask trans men about our experiences of violence, we suffer victimization at comparable rates to trans women. Nothing about being trans *men* makes us safer, as some people like to assert.

Op-ed: Trans Men Experience Far More Violence Than Most People Assume
Boys Do Cry: When we expand violence data beyond hate crimes, it's clear that trans men are targeted at comparable rates to trans women.

I heard the NEA is only considering proposals related to 1776 & the USA’s 250th birthday & I was feeling intensely patriotic, so I’m printing these really big posters inspired *directly* by the Founding Fathers

a dear friend of mine has been struggling for over a year now to get his honestly, extremely modest top surgery funding goal met. Kofi works his ass off, is so kind, and this would be life-changing for him.
So at this point.. every donation $35+ I will mail you a tiny doodle of anything you want!!

If you want to support your local library and can't donate:

- Get a library card
- Use your library card (including on the Libby & Hoopla apps if available)
- Check out events at your library (I just found out my local has a Silent Book Club!)
- Volunteer at your library

Each day this week, I am doing a thread to signal boost creators that are being targeted for marginalization by jerks.

If you are a creator with a disability, please post below and include a link/sample of your work.

You DO NOT have to disclose your disability!

Support these folks, everyone!

While there were likely multiple Black authors writing for the romance pulps, Gertrude "Toki" Schalk is perhaps the only one we currently know of. In honor of Black History Month, please check out this biographical post I wrote last year. 💕 (Story highlights to come later!) #pulp #romancelandia

A day late for Valentine’s Day, but nonetheless, in honor of both Valentine’s Day and Black History Month, I’m doing something a little different and giving you a post not about a particular story …

Here's what I stand for, even in my novels: NOAA scientist Grace Kim (she's a fish statistician at NMFS!) and Army Special Forces Staff Sergeant Rey Cruz are both children of immigrants. They are both Americans, and my books make my opinion on immigration very clear.

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product.

On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.
