Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

It’s BEEN time to cater to new audiences instead of solely donors. Be not afraid of innovation and daring.

Vet found hanging draped in trans flag The suicide letter they won't publish

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.

She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.

RIP Elisa.

If you're protesting tomorrow:

"I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present."

MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

a new project that I recently started is transforming my trans angel riso print into a mosaic of 12 painted tiles - I just got the first four back from the kiln!

Nail on the head

What if I just started posting, “Whyyyy???” every time I saw a white-centric, Cis-heteronormative show promotion for a Chicago theatre production?

Sydney Charles puts into words this weight I’m feeling…
The theatre industry needs to re-prioritize its budgets. You can’t make art without artists and we can’t survive on this kind of pay:

Add me, please! Thank you for doing this!

Bald eagle found in Hinsdale felled by bird flu A bald eagle that was spotted standing on the street last week in Hinsdale was suspected of having bird flu and euthanized.

A bald eagle dying of bird flu is an apt symbol for the state of the US in 2025.
