The version of you you’re growing into is already proud of you.

They’ve seen how hard it’s been, how often you kept trying.

That persistence is hope.

Totally fine! Never been finer!

Younger me would love current me so much and I think that's important. They'd think I was so cool and confident and probably cry knowing that I channeled my awkward weirdness into being a queer lil fuckin freak.

Embrace your cringe. The right people will love it. And maybe someday you might too.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

Some coloring pages I've done recently

A piece inspired by Lucy Westenra's burial/wedding gown

And if they expect to find our great grandparents' generation within today, they're already steps behind where they thought they'd be. There will never be a repeat, but there may be some rhymes. When we said in November that we're never going back, we meant that shit.

They say history repeats, but what it actually does is rhyme.

While those in power try to follow a playbook that they've memorized on how to destroy a nation, they've disregarded one thing; all of us have seen it all before too. (1/2)

I keep forgetting Bluesky exists. Anyway, first fit of the new year. Idk what else to post

Doing this thing lately where I start drawing and see where it ends up. I go in with a vague idea and just roll with it until it looks finished enough to me. This feels a little bit nicer than getting stuck on perfection and still not being pleased with the end result.

Anyway, here's a skellington

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.
