britchida @britchida.bsky.social · 26/02/2026They’ve shown me that’s it possible to nurture resilient community, to protect our sense of humor, to insist on our art, to grieve well, to adore each other, even in the face of terrible oppression. 120
britchida @britchida.bsky.social · 26/02/2026I come from a long lineage of people who have found ways to live in terrible times, to fight to survive while refusing to lose themselves. 120
britchida @britchida.bsky.social · 26/02/2026If I want to ever be okay I will need to find a way to be okay even when things are not okay. This is what I’ve been telling my friends on the phone when they ask me how I am. How are you? 030

britchida @britchida.bsky.social · 28/03/2025I came across this image of Octavia E. Butler’s journals. I can’t stop reading it. Wanted to show you. “Good is only sexy when it’s very powerful, not sanctamonious, and not too good. <real>” “Dependency is also sexy when it is chosen” “Downturns are only sexy if they are temporary.” Amen. 180

britchida @britchida.bsky.social · 26/02/2025I am making this piece into a print for February patreon members. If you’d like one, join a tier with a “new art” reward before the end of the month (friday!) — if you’d like the link/info, let me know and I’ll send it to you 💌 030
britchida @britchida.bsky.social · 26/02/2025my sleep troubles have been back the last month or so. i made this piece for the parts of me that like to remember that while it’s true that our world is fraught with hard parts and bad news, i am also, in this moment, safe enough to rest. i hope you are too 🤍 170
britchida @britchida.bsky.social · 26/02/2025i’ve been thinking about how sleep is one of the most vulnerable things we do. how we must become quiet and soft and unaware, taking the world as a it is. 2233
britchida @britchida.bsky.social · 30/01/2025This is not looking for the bright side; it’s not making the best — it’s just continuing to live with our pain. When we do, it’s possible for our lives to grow around it. 040
britchida @britchida.bsky.social · 30/01/2025But then I tried to welcome a life that could cohabitate with the difficulties. It’s a different life, but it’s mine, and it holds more than I had before. For example, now I’ve been able to meet you, sweet stranger-friends, and we have all these paintings for our feelings. (2/3) 130
britchida @britchida.bsky.social · 30/01/2025When hard things don’t recede, I am learning to build out a life around them. This is even how I began making art — I was sick, and when my life was all out-of-the-house, up-and-around stuff, the pain seemed to stop everything. (1/3) 1163
britchida @britchida.bsky.social · 14/01/2025yeah it does! it’s nice to have a fresh kind of algorithm with a wider variety of content. i’d love to find more folks here and have this be an ig alternative. how are you feeling after the switch? 110
