Mask Bloc Waterloo Region stands against the targeting of local queer and trans events. We also stand against working with the police and the idea of involving them in community events. The entire 2SLGBTQIA+ community deserves to have a safe space here in so-called “Waterloo Region”. #WatRegion 🧵/1

now please, and i’m so serious: take that anger and go buy some masks to wear in public indoor spaces so everyone knows how much you don’t fuck with eugenics. if you need low cost or free masks, or just don’t know where to start, check out covidactionmap.org and maskbloc.org for groups near you.

Olive Branch, 2025 (watercolour)

Featuring a branch from the sacred olive tree and the olive leaf pattern of the traditional Palestinian keffiyeh.

Note: this image is a digitally created mockup of what the painting might look like framed.

A square black frame with Nikki's "Olive Branch" painting inside. The frame is displayed on a white wall, with a hanging pothos plant near the top left of the frame, and a small ficus tree near the bottom right. The shadow cast by a window with a translucent curtain is overlaid on the whole image. In the bottom left corner of the image there is a white rectangle with text that reads: "'Olive Branch' Limited Edition Series. Original watercolour paintings available at nikkistclair.ca".

just losing my mind over the fact that today is "Clean Air Day" and the weather in some places is best described as "Smoke"
A screenshot of the WeatherCAN app showing a weather report for Timmins, ON. It is 20°C and the weather descriptor is "Smoke" with an icon made of three grey, wavy vertical lines to represent the smoke. Below the weather report there is a note that says "Clean Air Day 2025 - This air we share".

this is my newest painting, in florescence 🪻🌸🌷🌺🌻

you can read about the inspiration behind the piece on my website: nikkistclair.ca/2025/05/in-florescence

#Art #ArtYear #NatureArt #FloralArt
An abstract watercolour painting. The main colour of the painting is green, with many wavy shapes depicted in various shades of green. There are small clusters of organic shapes painted in magenta, resembling flowers, that are spread throughout the piece. There are also a few orange and blue clusters, similar to the magenta ones.
