This is the biggest piece I've ever worked on, 12x12 feet. It's painted on a drop cloth. It is going to hang in an activity center.

It's definitely a question we will look at. Indeed, if cis women are being turned away now by people who think they 'might be trans' we'd love to hear from them.
Recipie for disaster. Can women who are publicly humiliated and turned away based on wholly subjective and prejudicial judgements sue the provider, or take other meaningful action?

It's transgender day of remembrance.
Unison has a lovely message that reminds us that we need to support each other.
For anyone who needs support but doesn't have it there are organisations that can help support trans people struggling.

The window of safe places are getting smaller.
Since people asked, my top places for trans people right now are France, Australia (parts), Canada (parts), Spain (though politics there are tenuous), Iceland, Uruguay.
It's being reported that New Zealand has banned puberty blockers for transgender youth. I removed New Zealand from my recommendations to families fleeing a while back after the far right saw a surge in power in the country.
Sad day for NZ trans youth.

17th November 2025: British Government announced policy ideas on immigration. Asylum seekers would have valuables seized. On TV, a gov’t spokesman was asked if that would include the refugees’ gold teeth? 🦷
HOW DID IT COME TO THIS?

Unbelievably believable.
Both aircraft back in the air by 12th of July.
The quoted figure for repairs isn't held by the MoD. It's a number quoted from a private company.
The MoD hasn't paid anything for damages by Palestinian action.
Yet quoted damages is why Palestinian action are proscribed.

orange pots & pods
Here you may notice that these fanciful pots full of abstract seed pods and blooms seem to defy gravity, leaping and hopping with sheer delight. This is no ordinary still life. Instead, this image is the expression of pure joy as the artist works in one of her favorite pallets: orange & yellow and the flowers and pots, mere figments of her imagination coming to life. Frame this tiny art or set it on an easel among favorite books or other treasures. It will surely pop you right out of any melancholic state and remind you to play, to leap, to indulge in fun every day!
