I didn't sell any of these, so I changed their listing on my site. Every print from the show is discounted, and those already matted default to it. Unframed are $20, framed $35, and the framed original is also 30% off. They'll be shipped from L.A. by my dad. bruesselbach.square.site/shop/lunoids...

Reflecting on how folks used to organizing and volunteer heavy nonprofits/collectives are uniquely positioned to understand Trump. I feel like at least every couple years I find myself in an org managing an "if I don't get what I want, I'll burn it down" situation

People are disappearing incredibly quickly. And part of the invisibility is that just when we need even more capacity for rapid response and patrols, public interest has turned away because people don't think it's a problem anymore. We're tired.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:

Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them

No whitespace

There are no “legitimate concerns” about trans people. There aren’t any about women’s safety or fairness in sports or kids being kids or fucking toilets. If there were you’d have heard of them before 2018. I am a cis white woman so you have to listen to me or I’ll cry.

it really needs to be more openly discussed that all the people advocating for “we should be fine with losing basic skills if we get more systems thinking” are men, meaning socialized to expect to be able to offload basic tasks of daily living onto a wife as part of their compensation for existing

Digital painting. An old human skeleton lying on the ground, some parts of it are buried or broken, it resembles a fossil. The ground under it is a stone with a lot of ammonites in it, they are different in size and color, some are iridescent.

No matter how justified, you can’t spend all of your time angry about world events. It’s important to take a step back and focus on the little things around you that will also make you angry.
