There are good people out there and it’s important to share their stories.

It’s also important to support them. Be one of them.

Evil can be loud and ugly and make things feel hopeless. The best form of defiance is not to let it.
ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.

This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.

They hate the helpers.

Which is why must keep helping.
Twin Cities tow truck driver returns abandoned vehicles to families after ICE arrests
Juan Leon sends a "chase" car to check out where abandoned vehicles are located and arranges discreet drop-offs. Since late December, he estimated they have dropped off 250 cars.

Mia Koji, in her middle 20s here. I know for a fact she and the Ronin Warriors would be strictly against ICE. (Note, I used an old background that I did a while back ago. I'm feeling pretty tired today)

With the new Yoroiden Samurai Troopers out (Ronin Warriors), I was inspired to draw one of the former Ronins. Here's Ryo Sanada. Next up, Mia Koji (Nasti Yagyu). #anime #RoninWarriors #art #fanart #procreate #noai

Look, I'm not a liberal or a democrat. I'm not a conservative or a republican either, and yet I am sick to death of many calling liberals "evil". Years of watching all political sides has taught me that liberals want the best for people; for people to be treated fairly and with justice (1/4)

Training my voice to become a better singer. Why? Because I want to. Song today, Somewhere Out There from An American Tail. There are some hiccups (not me) in the video. Hoping someday, I'll be a much better singer.

So, I was sick from the flu and a bad cold for a week, but yesterday I managed to work on one of my novels, and today I decided to try my hand at singing Once upon a December again. Please ignore my looks, I'm still recovering, and I was petting one of my kitties.

Lately, I've been singing randomly in my house, while mostly recording my cats and dogs. Today I decided to record myself singing a song I'm working on. To be honest, I don't believe I'm that good, but I hope one day to sound like a professional singer in addition to my books and my art.

I can’t with how cute this guy is!!!

Also, super rare. I’ve been keeping an eye out for Jellycat stuff, but I was not expecting to stumble across one like this!

Anyway, wish me luck that he finds a good home soon! 🥰🥰🥰https://ebay.us/m/pvCA95

So, I'm a bit upset. I had thought I purchased this book cover in 2021, but a short conversation with an employee of the book cover website I purchased it from told me my last book cover purchase was in 2023.

I think she's talking to us authors who are procrastinating... And for the record, I suck at foreshortening and at drawing hands. #bookthreads #characterart #animestyle

Finally finished the Inuyasha fan art I've been working on. It's not perfect, but I did my best.

Bare chested Inuyasha holding up a protesting Shippou up by the leg. Uncolored and colored versions. Digitally drawn and painted in Procreate. #digitalart #anime #inuyasha #fantasy #art #noai

Work in progress, Inuyasha.

For a little while Sage, my furbaby had been really sick. I got him into the vet today and different tests were run on him because there were a lot of concerns, specifically regarding his severe drop in weight. The first thing the vet did was check his thyroid. That came back clear. (1/2)
