(Warning: Politics, Reddit mention)

It's hilarious to see that Reddit mods took down a post showing that its conservative echo chamber subreddit is suspiciously run by just a couple of accounts, lol.

A late night sketch spent playing with some of the new Procreate brushes!

Two hasty purple-ish doodles on Procreate!

A screenshot taken in the Procreate app of a sketch. The sketch depicts a smiling Black girl. Her eyes are closed dreamily, and her purple Afro billows upward like a cloud.

When my mom was living but still very sick, we were placed on food stamps. She lost her ability to move independently and work to terminal disease. We used food banks with earnest.

There are so many people out there with similar stories. SNAP isn't wasteful - it's a lifeline.

I work with people who rely on federal and state programs to survive, and I can't understate how crushing it is to watch those programs get shut down in real time. Resources that we used to be able to rely on to support unhoused and at-risk people are literally falling apart.

More black-and-white doodles between work! Hoping to beat same face syndrome and have a little variety in the people I draw.

After over 2 years of late nights, grad school assignments, fees, and tears (so many tears), I finally have the license I prayed for. 💜

It feels surreal to finally have the thing I sometimes doubted would materialize, but I'm thankful. I'm going to get a lot of sleep and have fun this weekend.

One thing I think I'll never stop being angry about is that the college ministry I attended not only tried so hard to illustrate the chaos and tragedy of the world as a "both sides" issue, but also managed to spit out people who believe it.

Redrew a sketch that's nearly 10 years old! I like to think she grew up to have slightly more confidence. :) The original was drawn in Infinite Painter!

Happy belated Bisexual Visibility Day to all who celebrate!

#art #Procreate #BlackSky #BiVisibility
The image features a digital rendition of chibi Black woman with locs. She is floating in the air and smiling. She is wearing a hoodie with the colors of the bi flag (pink, purple, and blue). Text reading "Bisexual Visibility Day" frames the side of her face in pastel versions of the colors on the bi flag.

Frustrated to see people I knew personally who voted for Tr*mp making posts about prayer.

They voted for someone who ran on annihilating the rights of others and securing the "freedom" of hatefulness. The choice to be sentimental instead of accountable for the violence they contributed to is gross.

So it looks like my fears were true. Waiting for the xrays for proper diagnosis but the vet expects Warlock has invertebral disc disease. I'm a few hundred in vet bills already and expecting a few hundred more. Trying to push my coms as much as possible 🙏

'Stardom'. MS Paint.
I don't have much time to make art these days (school, work, internship, etc.) so when I do draw, I draw everything at once.

Happy New Year! 2024 was rough, but I'm praying that 2025 is a little gentler for us all.

An illustration completed in MS Paint featuring a smiling Black woman looking up and to the right. There is a tear falling from her eye, ending in a twinkle. There are streaks of rain behind her.

one very real, concrete way to help feed Gaza right now is through donating to World Central Kitchen
wck.org World Central Kitchen @wck.org · Aug 21
WCK’s mobile bakery in Gaza is currently producing 45,000 loaves of bread every day. With more supplies, including flour and fuel, we'd be able to more than double that daily output and support more Palestinian families in need. #ChefsForGaza

my friend Ahmad's account has again been deleted by bluesky because asking for help to feed his family, afford their medical needs, and rebuild their destroyed home— a home from which the IOF again threatens to displace them— is considered spam. so i'm sharing his gfm again 💔❤️‍🩹

Style explorations in Procreate that I don't particularly like but had fun making!

#digitalart #Procreate #Blacksky
A screenshot in the Procreate app featuring a drawing of a smiling Black woman in 3/4ths view. Her head is slightly tilted, and her locs fall to the side. She is wearing a burgundy-colored V-neck that is just barely visible. A screenshot in the Procreate app featuring a stylized drawing of a Black person.
