Bounty as great as Earth could only hang upon the warming tray of the universe for so long. A new patron has arrived from parts unknown and demands a feast.

Breathing issues are hitting a little harder today so no walk which means no mushrooms.

So instead, you get a mini-in-progress picture!

I really wasn't certain how I would feel about painting what initially seemed like such a monochrome character, but it's been a really fun challenge!

I may have peaked with this photo yesterday. Taken about two feet above my own head in the pouring rain and I still got at least one good photo!!

There need to be social consequences for enacting anti-evidence policies that kill kids.

One of Danielle Smith’s staffers just called me over (??) at an event wanting to say hi.

Once I realized who she was, immediately questioned her about trans rights.

Repost for the evening crowd!
i wrote something angry again about being trans and the self-sacrificial desire to become something dangerous to defend our community from those that mean us harm. I hope it helps you to read it, like it helped to write it.

"I wish we were even half as dangerous as they say we are."

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I particularly want to stress that the violence we talk about trans people experiencing isn't just murder or domestic abuse or assault.

There is also legislative violence—far too much of it. And we lose lives to that every year too.
The Alberta government putting out a statement for Trans Day of Remembrance two days after using the Notwithstanding Clause to override trans kids rights feels like parody at this point

"Our government remains a dedicated partner of transgender Albertans.”

THAT IS THE LESSON OF HOLOCAUST EDUCATION YOU SICK FREAK
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

The Myrmidions from Shade's Children, The River Serpent from Between Two Fires, Christopher Carrion from Abarat (cheating i guess because there was art of him in the back fold of the book), Rawhead from Books of Blood Vol 3, and The Crawler in Annihilation are ones that really stuck with me!
What's your favourite monster/creature from literature? I'm thinking Tuunbaq from Dan Simmon's The Terror, the triffids from Wyndham's Day of the Triffids, the demon from M.R. James' Casting The Runes, Grendel, Pennywise, etc.

Zohran Mamdani wins!

He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win.

Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.
