Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Been doing a bunch of studies to try to fight off the existential dread. Its only sort of helping, but at least stops me from doomscrolling for a bit. Thanks @trueref.bsky.social for the awesome references 💖

This year I lost my dad and my cat within two months of each other. Would very much appreciate it if 2026 could be just a little bit less catastrophic.

Been bad about posting my new work lately. Here’s a couple of little (10”x10”) oil paintings on wood panels. These will both be available for purchase at my open studio the first weekend in November!

A digital illustration of two young women in a forest, kneeling before the wood carving of a female figure with bird wings. They've brought various offerings, apples, flowers, a doll made of wheat stalks, candles.

A digital illustration of a character and her skeletal mount, half-heron, half-fox. The character, a priestess of the Guild of Mists, is in the middle of the sacred, pre-hunt rites. She's holding a holy amulet and a smoking censer. They're both in a misty marsh, the skeletal remains of past hunts at their feet.

In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars.

Studios and developers want instant financial success and cite media like Spongebob- a show that did not do super well in the ratings for two seasons and was granted a third anyway. This industry used to grant time and trust to let things develop, find a voice, find an audience, be marketed.
