It's #portfolioday, and I should probably share some pictures of my work, but we are still grieving the loss of our niece.

It was her lived experience and our desire for people to be loved and accepted for who they are that inspired our trans mug fundraiser.

A view I’ve long dreamed of.
From Ryūganbuchi in Shizuoka Prefecture, gazing at Mount Fuji 🗻🌸
The cherry blossoms in full bloom and the majestic mountain together created a truly breathtaking scene.

Meet “Smokey,” a raku pottery bear shaped by the flames of raku. 🔥

Deep browns, violet, blue, and gold tones dance across layered textures for an industrial yet earthy and organic look.

Only you can prevent forest fires, but you can't prevent 'Smokey' from being adorable 🐻 #furryart #bear

The world looks on and shrugs as over half a million people are expelled from their homes - again - in clear disregard and violation of every relevant norm. Larger in scale than what Russia did in Mariupol (which the whole Western world condemned).

If your support for human rights is not unconditional, you do not support human rights.

Also, do not message with your bigotry because all you will receive is a block. I will share what I want on my profile and unconditionally support and love all in the LGBTQ community.

Jolene is an orange and white cat. We see a close up of her sleeping. She is doing bunny paws. She is sleeping on a cream colored blanket.

To renew my Georgia driver's license, I had to get a certified copy of my birth certificate and my marriage license, and provide 3 utility bills to prove my address.

Why the fuck should I now have to get a passport to vote?

A snowy forest scene with a frozen puddle

A snowy forest scene with a frozen puddle

This time of year is a shoulder season:

A liminal space,

not quite winter or spring,

moving toward growth and the return of colour.

For the moment, though, there is this

point of peace -

simultaneously earth and snow, frozen and melting, life and death.

All things at once are possible. 😍

A vertical photo of a winter scene along Lake Superior. A beach made of softball to volleyball sized rocks lines the lake. The rocks are covered in sow and ice. A layer of ice sits on the shoreline, with the lake to the left side of the image. The beach curves inward to the midpoint of the photo before curving back to the left. At the midpoint, a tall pine tree stands on the beach on the right side of the image. Behind it, the shoreline is lined with pine trees and bare aspens. Snow is falling, giving an atmospheric feeling to the trees. Above, the sky is textured, showing darker gray clouds with lighter bands intermixed.

I found this photo from the first workshop I attended, back in 2023. Hadn't been processed. I love Lake Superior year round, but she really shines in winter.
