So I'm still not getting calls into work, payments are kicking my account down and needless to say... adulting is hard. I need a bit of help. Updated my kofi goal to accommodate everything. Any help is appreciated, thank you! Cashapp Venmo Kofi Partreon #mutualaid #helpsky #helpfolkslive2026

Sat outside to eat my lunch. A bunch of wasps were out. One of them dived into my lunch and was drowning. I tried to help it. The other wasps got mad and started attacking so I just watched it die in my food… I threw my lunch out.

Over the years of my life, I’ve collected a lot of Halloween clothing items. So the moment it’s September I wear them so I get plenty of use. Here’s a handful featuring some of my favorite vests. I share my fits on insta every night.

HOLY SHIT DUDES fucking with the environment is now not just a sin (which Francis also said), it is classed as a direct fuck-you to God and a central tenet of the reasoning is the need to care for "our common home," i.e. you are morally obligated to think about the other people who also live here

unwillingness to confront and be in discomfort is what allows white supremacy & fascism to continue. these systems count on it, and not enough white folks deal with the discomfort they are facing cause the systems let them run away from it.

Coaster three of four for @nucleushouse.bsky.social’s Salut XI show. A Spanish moth contently in the blooms and stars. The piece is titled “A Crown of Gold Rich for Any King”, a line from The Floure and Leafe. My favorite thing about these moths is that their markings look like silly cats.

I’m suppose to feel relief there’s a ceasefire & my people weren’t subjected to nuclear annihilation. But I don’t. I don’t trust ceasefires & I don’t trust rich delusional men in seats of power. Iranians are sitting with bated breath in fear that this is a delay in the dreams of madmen

I get angry at WW3 jokes. I understand comedy as coping. But it comes off as callous when there are people whose lives are in danger. You say these things in safety while many of us have people we love living in the active zone of war. I feel waves of anxiety wash over me with each “witty” take.

“Gift of the Pari” is the cover I painted for @khoreo.bsky.social ! It was a huge honor! With Nowruz being today, it wanted to share. Pari are winged supernatural being in Iranian mythology. I wanted to paint them as birds with human faces, surrounded by saffron crocuses and jasmine. Happy Nowruz. 🌸
