As a former classified worker and graduate of UW, I assure you that the university system could not exist without the thousands of underpaid classified workers, from the first people who greet you in admissions and housing to classroom support services like IT. Stand up for our community members!

13 years ago I started the website nominestudios.com as a way to showcase my art while staying at home with my then toddler. Despite having graduated with a Masters that June, I could not afford daycare for my kid’s age bracket. 5 years ago, I incorporated No Mine Studios LLC. #MomOwnedStudio

Last night around midnight, two large explosions happened right outside our house, the second of which shook our house and set off a neighbor’s car alarm. I did not get much sleep for some reason, so if I seem tired at the Tacoma Armory today, you know why. #SouthTacoma #yay #ImAwakeNow

My family has been hit hard by the realities of when caregiving at home is not enough. The worst parts that I can speak about are not being able to fix everything for them & trying to go about as if everything is normal. If you’re going through it, too, my heart is with you. Have an #Axlotl.

5 years ago today, my first video game was the first game to receive funding from the City of Tacoma Arts Commission. Today I’m in San Francisco at GDC, getting ready to meet the other members of the 2026 Pixelles Ensemble Cohort, of which I’m proud to be a part. It’s good to stop and take stock. ❤️

Meet Vector. He is very insistent on helping with studio stuff. While I have been given the go ahead to do some typing post surgery, Vector is still 25x my current lifting limit with my bad hand, and too wobbly/ “fluffy” to be picked up using only my good hand. #StudioCat #GoodIntentions #Chaos

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

It’s a new message from Axi the Accessibility Axlotl, the mascot nobody asked for and that nobody should need (because the ADA passed in 1990 and companies and schools should understand how it works by now!!!)! #ADA #Accessibility #AxiTheAccessibilityAxlotl

If House Republicans want to “protect the innocence of children,” they should ban assault weapons — not healthcare. Instead, they’re using the power of the federal government to bully trans kids in bathrooms, schools, and now doctors’ offices.
