And this piece wraps up #mermay! It was quality over quantity this year but I’m ok with that!

I’ve been doing a bunch for #mermay but this is my favorite!

Finally started on #mermay! Taking this month to explore mid-century inspired illustrations. And maybe more type!

I discovered #ourplanetweek a bit late but I can’t wait to catch up!

The first prompt #touchtheground made me immediately think of putting my hands in the earth. I can’t wait to plant more pollinator friendly plants this year!

I did the #starterpacknoai and thought I should probably share it over here!

It didn’t have to be this way. But it is. The fact that it could have been SO MUCH BETTER makes it hurt more.

Happy Valentines, I made you something pretty!

it's so important to make time for yourself, rest, treat yourself gently and with kind words. you, not me, I have to run myself ragged until I collapse in a pile of exhausted self-hatred but you should definitely self care.

I'm very interested to see what happens. American fascism created the superhero. Jewish men were shut out of fine art due to antisemitism and were watching their brethren overseas be persecuted. But comics was open to them. The superhero sprung from that painful situation.
It's hardly the main concern right now, but as a lady who used to report on the superhero-industrial complex for a living, I have to say that I am utterly dreading how American Nazism will warp DC and Marvel

Superhero fiction has always flirted with fascism, but it can -- and will -- get way worse

The only reason I might watch the Super Bowl is to see TFG maybe get slimed, like Kids’ Choice Awards style. Somehow I doubt this is going to be part of the pageantry, though.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Just donated to Trans Lifeline to help our friends and family being persecuted by this new regime. IF you have some $ to spare, please consider doing likewise? Even a few bucks helps. But if not, some real LOUD support from the cis community would also be great. ❤️

Sick day gave me enough time to finish this year of the snake! Gotta love a snake in a tree. Done with Procreate and Sudafed riding shotgun. Happy Lunar New Year!

I’m extremely sick with Influenza A from my plague children, so I’m catching up on movies and TV that I never get to watch. I just saw Knives Out for the first time and it WAS GREAT. I’m only, what, 5 years behind? What other gems should I catch up on?

After almost a full week of snow days, one kiddo came down hard with Influenza A. He slept all day yesterday. Now he’s bouncing back but we’re all feeling it. Aurgh!

My anxiety has taken the form of listening to ska bands? My brain yearns to return to a simpler time, one with unnecessary trumpet solos, I guess.

Do a five minute sketch of what you’re currently wearing. (Yes, my Docs are purple, don’t be jealous)

One challenge in building a resistance is encouraging voluntary participation and mobilizing individuals who may feel afraid, demoralized, isolated, or deeply impoverished. This requires empathy, trust-building, and the creation of inclusive spaces that foster unity and empowerment.

Thanks to the Michigan Department of Education for this.
