#SPN #firstwatch Season 15 eps 15x6-15x15. So on the plus side there were finally some episode that were well written, worked thematically & with good acting. On the other hand WTF is with the frankenstein mixup of plots & tropes. Chuck is canonically a bad writer, was he the muse for the season? 1/

I’m really excited to share that I won the Frank R. Paul Award for Best Magazine Cover Art! My painting Stasis, a self-portrait about invisible illness, was featured on the cover of Uncanny Magazine Issue 58 🖤

#art #painting #portrait #illustration
“Stasis” is a portrait painted by the artist Zara Alfonso, and is the first piece in her series about invisible illness. A portrait painting of a girl with skin so pale she’s almost translucent, her lips are tinged blue and she gazes upward through seemingly unseeing eyes. Pale moths and winged insects cover the expanse of her face and body, blending into her skin in places.

Digital illustration of a young Asian woman sitting on a staircase in a green tank top and pants. Text reads, ‘you deserve to be in an environment that brings out the softness in you – not he survival in you.’

Reminding myself of this & my fellow “do-gooders” who are forgetting we must collaborate & liberate together & hierarchy in giving is still oppression
A quote from reverend Daigan Gaithers in black text on white background. “Train yourself towards solidarity and not charity. You are no one’s savior. You are a mutual partner in the pursuit of freedom”.

Larger Pacific Striped Octopus are an iconic species, the only octopus we know about that shares dens and food with their partner. Indeed even having a partner is extremely rare for octopuses!

"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

It’s always about the racism. Particularly targeting Black people and Black woman. They stole the term woke from Black culture, fucked its meaning, and used it to stoke anger. Utter bullshit.
chadstanton.blacksky.app Doghouse Reilly @chadstanton.blacksky.app · 3d
Yep, one of the biggest drivers of the elite panic around “wokeness” was the increasing prominence of Black people and particularly Black women in their fields and we’re seeing that coalition rewarded with the targeting of Black workers.
devawo.bsky.social Deva Woodly @devawo.bsky.social · 4d
Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing with digital finishing. A pink Axolotl (asch-o-lotch; it’s Nahuatl, not Greek!) with big red gills, swimming underwater (the water is several shades of teal, from light above the axolotl to dark ground on the left ), with big eyes and a huge smile, oriented head right, tail left, looking at the viewer. Text above the tail says “Be your true self, and always, always…”, then underneath, says “BE STRANGE AND MAGICAL AND CHANGE THE WORLD.”.

What a reminder that ACAB & that fascists will go after anyone. The "off-duty" cop needs to be investigated, arresting on hearsay is such an overstep but not surprising-want to bet the off-duty cop wants to be an ice goon?

speaking as a virginia beach native if these kind of dudes are plotting against ICE then there is wide runway in public opinion for straight up abolishing the agency under a dem presidency

transphobes & just cishet folks in general who can't imagine not being in CONTROL of other group's rights & lives are going to latch on to McBride as the "good" token trans women. That was always going to happen. It's never about equality, it's always been about tokenization & settler colonialism

A marker, ink, paint pen, and collage drawing of a garden slug crawling down their hall, looking at three posters of nudibranchs (a kind of sea slug) on the wall. Posters, left to right: a sea fairy nudibranch, with “WISH!” in white lettering at the top, two leaf sheep, one above the other, top one a cartoon, bottom one in pointillist style, with “EVERYONE BELONGS” in white letters at the top, and a gem nudibranch in pink coral, with “FEEL JOY” in white letters at the top. All posters are edged in gold. The garden slug is green-brown. Underneath the garden slug, black lettering says “GARDEN SLUGS STAN SEA SLUGS.”. The wall is green, the floor is light brown. The posters are my art, printed on thin paper and collaged to the drawing, then outlined in ink and gold paint, with a little shadow underneath (hey, I’m proud of this! 4 pieces in 1!). :) Garden slug reference: 19th century scientific illustration.
