This is a deeply relatable vibe

Lil pin I unearthed while cleaning, from a free Thursday night event at the Walker Art Center a few years ago.

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is a super silly, wonderful comic that also features an incredibly realistic depiction of someone doing research: by just looking at Wikipedia on their phone.

Back in 2017 I had the opportunity to mess around on a Vandercook press and create a Letterpress print on cheap cardstock. I hilariously misspelled the word "coffee". So I didn't share it and at some point recycled the prints.

I wish I hadn't. I really need a daily reminder to avoid perfectionism.

For a while I've wanted to experiment with making art that's just a little bit more loose and imperfect than the hyper-rigid geometric illustrations I've done in the past. This Hawthorn blossom is still super minimal, still abstract. But it somehow feels more lived-in?

When it comes to talking about disability, I often worry I don't have anything helpful to share. But one thing that feels meaningful is talking openly about the assistive aids I rely on.

These ring splints prevent my fingers from hyperextending. They have a Rivendell-meets-future-punk vibe I love.

It's finally snowing and someone has given the Minnehaha Bunny a variety of festive hats and... an upside-down elf on the shelf?

One of my favorite books is Tree Dogs, Banshee Fingers and Other Irish Words for Nature by Manchán Magan. It's a delightful and poetic account of how Irish captures community knowledge.

Comfrey, a plant still very common in herbal medicine — is "lus na gcnámh briste", the plant of broken bones.

For a long time I've struggled to learn how to get outdoors in a way that doesn't challenge my hypermobility and my chronic pain. In pursuit of that, I discovered the book Birding for a Better World and decided to try to collect my thoughts about it in a blog post.
