House martins are such sweet little birds! Sadly their numbers are dropping in the UK, but now we are adding swift bricks, reducing pesticides even further and rewilding to bring back native insect numbers… may we have even more martins in the future! (WIP)

We didn't deserve this day.

a black and white typography edit that reads "every future i dream of includes trans people". the text is inside a black circle. inside the circle is stars from the cygnus constellation. around the circle is an ornate border with floral flourishes and birds.

i cannot imagine a future without trans people because without trans people there isn't a future

It's extremely clear that the US doesn't really have an objective here except to inflict maximum pain, and attacking water supply is going to end catastrophically for the entire region. It's not just a war crime, it's approaching a crime against humanity.

Digital painting of a Heartleaf Skullcap plant: it has green heartshaped leaves, and flower spikes with green buds at the top and purple pea-flowers lower. A pink ribbon is intertwined among the leaves, and there are starbursts and hearts in the background.

they will tell you that they need to do regime change iran to liberate the women, and while you docilely repeat their propaganda they will bomb a girls school in broad daylight and laugh at how much contempt they have for you for buying their lies

My digital artwork of an eastern bluebird family gathered at a bird house. The house is decorated with gold and blue stars and the birds are wearing scarves, hats, earmuffs- one has a purple backpack. There are swirling designs in orange around the entrance to the bird house and around the birds on the roof to represent the feeling of "home." There is a decoration and a wind chime hanging from the bottom left of the house. Snow swirls all around the scene. Art by Karen Swartz/ Talenshi Text at the top: "Keep Minnesota Housed: #keepMNhoused" Text at the bottom: "ICE is still terrorizing Minnesota, and people need help making rent so they don't lose their housing. Visit KeepMNhoused.com to adopt a rent or donate to rent funds!"

Minnesota needs help. ICE is still making it unsafe for many people to leave their homes. Hundreds of families need help making rent. Visit www.standwithminnesota.com/keepmnhoused to adopt a rent or donate.

Digital artwork based off Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: a headless rider clad in green and red rides a rearing horse. He is holding a large axe wedged in the ground with a crown hanging from it. There are decorative winding leaves coming from the armor and horse.

Thinking about THE GREEN KNIGHT recently

Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

This is Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been imprisoned by ICE for a year.

He was about to get new prosthetic legs when he was kidnapped… and they won’t let him have them.

His health is declining & there’s been almost no media coverage.

No protests. No noise.
