In Chicago, the courage of good, everyday folks getting in the face of ICE/BP and fighting back is restoring my faith in America

In DC, the cowardice of Senate Democrats has undermined it, again

When you actually think about how many issues are tied to disability you never think about, it’s intentional.

Capitalists Were Never Going To Protect Your Healthcare When Your Disablement Is For Profit

When I first began my career in disability advocacy as a professional, I was bright-eyed, believing that I would be working with the most vocal supporters of DEI and who rallied behind diversity as…

My art / the inspiration

The Godeaters. Digital mixed medium. 2025.

Six shadowy human figures are standing in a red mist. The two in the foreground have glowing red eyes. A planet can be seen in the sky.

Scene from the film Mandy of the biker gang The Black Skulls. They are parked on their motorcycles in a row on a dirty road during the night.

Scene from the film Near Dark of the gang of vampires standing in a row on a small hill. They are backlit.

Describe yourself with a building.

Photo of a long abandoned multistory industrial building spanning an entire city block made of brick, wood, steel, and concrete. Its highest portion has large graffiti that reads "OCULT", and has three steel girder structures on its roof.

"From Beyond". 2024. Digital mixed medium.

The title and overall vibe are inspired by the 80s film of the same name but also a long gone club in Philly. Place was sort of a time capsule frozen in the 80s. Lots of tile, mirrors, chrome, wood, and outdated lighting.

$A black door floating in a narrow hallway with tile flooring and glass walls. An eerie mist rolls out from behind the door. The space washed is blues, pinks, reds, and bright whites. The world is fracturing into tiles from whatever force is about to appear.$

Ok. After sleeping on it I do have a criticism. The wolves weren't... good. Felt far too obviously CGI. I get trying practical fx (real wolves) would have probably been difficult at best, but the digital fx for them didn't land well.

Unsurprisingly Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein is so, so amazingly well done. Still processing everything about it but ultimately it's incredibly fantastic.

Living with Long COVID often feels like living in a horror movie. Along with your disease comes a creepy Hive Mind refusal to acknowledge the dangers of COVID infection. In Vince Gilligan's new Apple TV show Pluribus, the Hive Mind comes to life:

"Pluribus" captures the isolation of COVID-awareness in a COVID denialist world

For years I've described having Long COVID as living in a horror movie. Now that horror movie (well, prestige Apple TV show) is here.

A watercolor painting of a green sky amidst a storm. There is lightning streaking down the middle of the page that is lighting up the textures of the clouds

A watercolor painting of a green. He has blue and yellow highlights on his scales and you can see that they're very shiny.. his tongue is sticking out and it is a gray color.

A watercolor painting of a tree frog. He has orange toes and fingers, and blue sides and belly. His eyes appear to be a demonic red - but I'm pretty sure he's not evil.

A watercolor painting of a lily pad is viewed from the side. There is a bud of a lily in purples and pinks and yellows just waiting to bloom below the pad.

It can take me days, even weeks, start to finish. I've never rushed my artwork because each piece deserves to completely come into reality. It's finished when it's finished. I can't force it.

Ren Varela @cobaltcorvus.bsky.social · 1d

Remember: It's normal for full art pieces to take more than a day or two to complete. Some pieces will take longer to complete than others and that's normal.

Social media has warped our perception on how long things actually take to create. You're doing fine. 🤍
