I can’t go to the grocery store alone right now because ICE is racially profiling and abducting people who aren’t white

Despite Trump’s promises, grocery prices are still rising fast. Families can’t afford this… when is he going to get serious about lowering costs?

Grounding in January has looked like making sure i bare minimum stretch and or shake everyday

This edition of the daily shake i started off so emotionally heavy and stressed, but by the end I felt a little lighter.

Disabled people don’t survive without community care. So for us to be considered worth surviving, that’s building a world where we all survive by supporting each other.

It should click for you how many who ask for mutual aid online are disabled. Disabled people are likely to be in poverty & isolation. Disability makes life under capitalism precarious. That’s why disability justice is intertwined with getting rid of capitalism & why mutual aid is disability justice.

Black women of the Civil Rights Movement are most often remembered in 3 ways: as part of a larger group (the Little Rock Nine); as isolated individuals disconnected from broader political strategy (Rosa Parks); or as wives of male leaders (Coretta S. King). afro.com/claudette-co... We can do better.

Recent sketchbook explorations—lots of fun improvisational lines dancing across a light passage or marker or paint.

These have been my lifeline when I am trying to carve out time to draw.

Kpakpando, Forged from Fire
Nzu (African Calabash chalk), ink, and photo
2025

www.odera.net/shop/p/kpakp...

A spell for cleansing, a ritual for protection, a song for new archetypes, a memory of ancestral medicine
Odera in a starsuit and field of Black New universes being created. Hands holding primordial Black void genitals. A conjurer of sorts. Two hands stretch and cup a mass where the pelvis is. The body is covered in a starsuit and leopard print. Odera half wearing the bodysuit. Using the kpokokpoko rattle. A mixed media drawing of photo. Nzu and ink dance across the body and across the landscape of stars as Odera dances twirls and reconnects with their Ori.

Digital painting of a giant ominous man, sitting cross legged, levitating in the sky, surrounding by flying giant oarfish, overlooking structures and buildings. The man is a merfolk; mostly humanoid, but with a giant oarfish tail that he's sitting on. He's dressed in a religious tunic, with a red band resting over his shoulders, a helmet fashioned to look like an oarfish head, and he is holding a horn closely, as if he's about to blow it. The his sclera are bloodshot. Around him are dozens of giant oarfish, rising from the sea and floating mid-ar. Beneath them are deserted buildings, homes and infrastructures. fairy with giant blue morpho butterfly wings and a faint halo, holding a lantern that attract butterflies. Digital painting of a giant man with royal blue skin, and a literal fish for a head, with a human face. The creature's head is adorned in ornate white patterns, the material similar to stone or granite, and its expression is solemn, with its eyes closed. There are bands of varying sizes around its right bicep, left forearm, both thighs and both ankles, the material of which is similar to the granite sculptures on its head. It is wielding a staff, with a sharp fish hook shaped blade, possibly made with marble. Digital painting of a merman and his fish monster companion. The merman is mostly humanoid but with spiky armor made with iridescent fish bones. It covers his entire body except his face, and he is wielding a giant blade with a skull on its hilt. In the backdrop is a giant, sentient fish skeleton with a long serpentine spine that extends to the forground.
