A sketchy drawing showing two diagrams of a person using two types of tablets. The top diagram shows a person hunching over a screen tablet set at an angle on a desktop and highlights how the position can cause strain. The second diagram shows a person using a regular non-screen tablet in their lap and sitting straight, looking directly ahead at a monitor, highlighting how the posture can be improved.

I've been getting a lot of questions re: chronic pain + art lately and I'm begging people to consider regular tablets over screen ones, and don't hunch over them. They take some getting used to but they allow for much better posture and reduced strain!

A digital illustration of two japanese lesbians flirting in a queer underground bar in the 80s. One of them wears a blue jacket, the other a suit, while in the background there's liquor and a multitude of little stickers and illustrations of lesbian and queer marks.

The full illustration I did for @taplingzines.bsky.social "We've Always Been Here"

The zine depicts queer couples throughout cultures and history and I had the honours of portraying a Japanese lesbian couple in an underground bar during the 80s✨

"Don't ship unless it's canon" you are truly are the weakest link. Back in my day we shipped characters that never laid eyes on each other. We shipped characters that didn't even belong in the same universe or franchise. Canon is a chain we threw off long ago

Two women with their backs to each others. One rests her head gently on the other’s shoulder. Both have their eyes closed to show rainbow coloured eye-shadow.

This Lesbian Visibility Week, we uplift and support all lesbians — cis, trans, gender non-conforming — all are welcome with us.

Here at NION, our lesbian members are proud to join our trans sisters in the fight for a more inclusive society.

The way profit maxxing corpo culture has invaded every form of art through algorithms pushing people into daily posting is really weighing on me lately. Efficiency and regularity of making "content" being prized above all else feels so grim, man.

This is about as terrifying as it gets when it comes to flying umbrellas. This is exactly how people end up impaled. While this incident happened in a stadium, it is much more common to see this happen on a beach. Buy a beach umbrella that meets new anchor safety standards this summer.

It's like the "participation trophy" discourse: who gave out the trophies? who created that supposed culture of wanting to be acknowledged for simply participating? and who complains about people supposedly wanting participation trophies?

student protesters adopted the language of harm, trauma, offense, and identity in part because it was a discourse the university bureaucracy understood and was required to address. it was effective. after that adults never stopped punishing young people for speaking that way.

I love how one of the most shared experiences of childhood is staring out the car window and creating your own little world to pass the time

A tree sparrow is speaking: "Artistic creation shouldn't be considered carelessly! Good art is made deliberately! With emotion! Physical exertion! If you aren't crying or bleeding by the end, you'd better look into another lifestyle...". We see a class of birds with piles of sticks and a big banner that reads "Intro to nest building" made out of twigs. The teacher continues: "Ok! Does everyone have their bundle of soft moss?"

Siffrin is crouching, smiling, with lots of little stars falling around him, a pair in his hands.
The stars are surrounded by many lines following their outlines, with additional lines filling in the spaces between them.

Boise took its Pride flag down. But new art has popped up at City Hall. What it cost “The flag is not our only form of expression,” a Council Member previously said.

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.
