If you're in California, it would be great if you could contact your assembly member/their office and express you oppose AB 89, support trans rights, and you're angry at Gavin Newsom. Remember, the lower/more local the elected official you're contacting, the more relative impact a single call makes.

according to the article, california’s own anti trans sports bill hearing is set for 04/01/2025.

the bill is AB 89.

if you’re in CA, you obviously can’t trust democrats to do the right thing without some persuasion.

& in case you’re wondering, yes, gavin newsom’s podcast *is* mentioned. 🧵

Digital art of original characters Aran and Tao kissing at night in a New York City neighborhood. Tao sits on a bike and Aran slightly bends down to kiss him. It’s a hot summer night and they both wear shorts and simple T-shirts.

Digital art of original characters Aran and Tao in a bodega late at night. Aran sits on a chair behind the counter, and Tao sits on top of the counter, as they work on a crossword puzzle together.
It’s form a top view, looking down on them, similar to taken from a security camera.

Digital art of original character Aran in his cluttered kitchen, heating up an Arabic flatbread on a gas stove. His small black kitten Fattoush sits on his shoulder.

Digital art showing a city night scene. A house front with fire escape stairs and different game characters on the different levels as well as on the street. This was the banner art I did for LudoNaraCon some years ago, celebrating indie video games.

It's my birthday today, so I'm posting some original characters to celebrate yet another year around the sun 🖤✨

A black and white drawing of a character with long dark hair and curly horns, surrounded by stylized foliage. A symbolic dagger seems to be piercing their throat. The character has a calm expression - eyes closed and a subtle smile on their lips.

A black and white drawing of a character with long dark hair, surrounded by stylized fish and glowing lights. The textures and brush strokes are clearly visible.

A monochromatic black and white portrait of a fantasy character with long ears and dark long hair partly morphing into swirling shapes, facing the viewer. Hands with sharp long nails (not theirs) cover parts of their face and neck, and one hand reaches towards their throat. A decorative filigree border and a stylized circular shape in the background frame their face. The brushstrokes and textures are clearly visible.

Black and white drawings/sketches of various fantasy characters, collected on one page. All of them have dark hair and pointy ears.

WIP
Going back to this old WIP as I take breaks from a big illustration I desperately want to finish this week. The colors on this one never quite meshed to my liking.

If any editorial outlets do write ups on Doechii where they need an illustrative portrait done, I BETTER not see a nonblack person on that job. I better see these companies hiring, preferably, Black women to illustrate my good sis.

In case you were curious, the theme for Black History Month this year is LABOR.

Consider the ways our labor has benefited this country. From literally building it from the ground up to our cultural influence. There is no United States without Black Americans!

For the sake of clarity; sexism, racism, fascism, nationalism, homophobia, transphobia, colonialism, apartheid, pro-birth, military power, and all adjacent right-wing ideologies are a form of weakness I do not tolerate. If you're a conservative, then block me and move on. You don't belong here.
