I got a bit into hockey the last two seasons and I follow the team of my hearth (Philly) and the team of my randomly assigned fandom blorbo (Pittsburgh). they're rival dark horses and I get to watch them tear each other apart tonight :)

in our morally anxious age, the reaction to boycotts and calls for disengagement is often "but if I do X, does that make me bad?" I humbly suggest instead of searching for perfect absolution that you feel good about collectively participating in a just cause.

Flyer for a tRaum authors reading on April 4th, Saturday, 2pm PST, featuring June Martin, Briar Ripley Page, and Never Angeline North. Flyer features a profile of a person's face, with the area under the nose just running down a line off the page. Dominant colors are flesh and dark green.

We had such a great time with our last online reading that we're trying to make it a semi-regular event?? Mark your calendars and come join us on April 4th, 2pm PST, for a virtual trans-lit reading with @theworldsgreatestwriter.com , @flameswallower.bsky.social & @never.horse

this is absolutely the point of the trans critique. it's all hard, fast, black and white rules about individual action that happens in a void. yessiree bob.

the Trans Council is proud to unveil an equation that determines if your level of engagement with Harry Potter makes you a bad person! give the hand-wringing a rest and find out once and for all if you're a pure ally or can stop giving a shit about transphobia.

sucked dino eggs :(

predator and prey... in a fight for global domination... whose bloodline empire will take over the world--oh shit, a natural disaster!

😮‍💨

The Dinosaurs was disappointing. I didn't learn much, and it took the anthropomorphizing out of fun territory and into "this is just not how ecosystems work." I've got to rewatch Prehistoric Planet.

hell yeah

it's important to work on multiple paintings at the same time so that when the spirits feed too greedily, you can transfer them to another surface and let the withered painting rest.

that is mind boggling

back in 2011, I made these body-sized graphite drawings with such heavy density, erasing felt like carving. revisiting those ideas now feels like having a very long, slow conversation with myself.

I’m Aysha, a writer and narrative designer looking for full time and contract work! I’ve worked on Life is Strange, Pathologic, Hiveswap, and Magic the Gathering, to name a few. Hire me while the industry still exists!

so cute!

this is one of my favorite paintings from back in the day, 2016 I think.

THE SUN IS BACK

IMPORTANT UPDATE: WE HAVE BEEN RAISING FUNDS FOR A TRANS SEX WORKER OF COLOR WHO IS AT RISK OF LOSING CUSTODY OF THEIR CHILDREN. THEIR TRIAL DATE HAS SINCE BEEN RESCHEDULED TO THE SPRING. WHILE THEIR LAWYERS REMAIN CONFIDENT THAT THEY CAN WIN THIS DISCRIMINATORY CASE, FUNDS ARE NOW NEEDED BY JUNE 2026. PLEASE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THIS INCREDIBLE PILLAR OF OUR COMMUNITY! GOAL: $50,000 GOFUNDME GOFUND.ME/HELP-KEEP-FAMILY-TOGETHER-URGENT VENMO CARTA-MONIR CASHAPP $CARTAMONIR SEND DONATIONS WITH A HEART EMOJI TO ENSURE FUNDS ARE REDIRECTED TO THIS SWER

WE ARE RAISING FUNDS FOR A BELOVED COMMUNITY MEMBER; A TRANS SEX WORKER OF COLOR WHO IS AT RISK OF LOSING CUSTODY OF THEIR CHILDREN. FOR THEIR SAFETY AND PRIVACY THEY MUST REMAIN ANONYMOUS, BUT THIS IS A PILLAR OF OUR COMMUNITY, LOVED AND VERIFIED BY THOSE OF US RUNNING THIS FUNDRAISER. OUR FRIEND IS FACING A TRIAL IN JUNE REGARDING THE CUSTODY OF THEIR YOUNG CHILDREN. THE CASE AGAINST THEM IS BASED ON THE FACT THAT THEIR PRIMARY FORM OF INCOME IS SEX WORK. NOTABLY, THE JUDGE OF THE INITIAL CUSTODY ARRANGEMENT RULED THAT THEIR JOB WAS NOT REASON ENOUGH TO RESTRICT THEIR PARENTING TIME YEARS AGO. BECAUSE OF THIS PRECEDENT, THEIR LAWYER FEELS VERY CONFIDENT THEY WILL WIN THEIR UPCOMING CASE.

TO DEFEND THEIR RIGHTS TO PARENT THEIR OWN CHILDREN, OUR FRIEND NEEDS TO RAISE $75,000 BY JUNE 2026. THIS STAGGERING AMOUNT OF MONEY REQUIRED BY THE COURT TO COVER THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH A TWO DAY TRIAL (LAWYERS FEES, EXPERT WITNESSES, THE COURT REPORTER, DEPOSITIONS, CREATION OF TRIAL BINDERS, THE LIST GOES ON). IF THEY CANNOT SECURE THESE FUNDS BY THE JUNE DEADLINE, THEY WILL BE FORCED TO SETTLE, RESULTING IN SEVERELY REDUCED INTERACTION WITH THEIR CHILDREN. WE OBVIOUSLY DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN. OUR FRIEND HAS PROVIDED FOR THEMSELF AND THEIR CHILDREN FOR YEARS, FIGHTING THEIR CUSTODY BATTLE IN PRIVATE WHILE CONTINUING TO BE AN INCREDIBLE PARENT, FRIEND, AND EDUCATOR. THEY CAN NO LONGER FACE THIS BY THEMSELVES, WHICH IS WHY WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

IN OUR CURRENT POLITICAL CLIMATE, WE KNOW THAT OUR FRIEND'S SITUATION IS ESPECIALLY PRECARIOUS. THIS IS A CRUCIAL MOMENT TO SHOW SOLIDARITY WITH A COMMUNITY MEMBER WHO NEEDS IT MORE THAN EVER.

I am still fundraising for an anonymous friend, who is a trans sex worker and POC. They are at risk of losing custody of their children. Please, please donate. This is a situation that is painful and scary beyond description.

UPDATE - WE NOW HAVE UNTIL JUNE 1ST

I'd agree with that! we like to indulge and those works can have this raw enjoyment that's very appealing.

that was a wild ride 😩

prints of this painting are up in my shop as well - quinnmilton.etsy.com/listing/4466...

if you're in philly, come by the opening this Saturday which includes a sideshow from some of the best clowns in town.

a gouache painting of a hot-pink, naked Fury floating in a dreamy, cotton-candy colored sky. she is tied up with blue rope with blue fabric swirling around her. she is covered in a white blindfold and her dark hair floats wildly around her head. her mouth is open wide in a scream.

Holding Space for You to Freak the Fuck Out

this new gouache painting will be on view at PEG gallery and sex museum in Philly, March 4-May 24. thanks so much to PEG for giving this piece a sexy place to roost.

my meds are on backorder and it feels like my brain is coated in molasses. how i dealt with this every day in my dreary and sleepy past is beyond me.

sometimes you have to turn the color off to check values, especially if the colors are insane 🩵❤️

the tasks that loom over me like an ancient curse I call my "hell tasks". I've decided to start each morning with one in an attempt to banish the evil from my life.

today was telling the benefit center that I did submit that form on time THANK YOU very much 💪✨

gorgeous

jack lying on his back on the ground, one arm folded behind his head and the other wrapped around nour's leg. one of his gloved hands curls just under their knee, above their tall leather boot to which jack is dutifully, exhaustively tending with his tongue. an ode to Honcho magazine's leather issue
