The world feels very unsettled, and art isn’t always the priority in these trying times. Even so, I'm here and keep on making.

These are my latest one-of-a-kind raku vessels available now. A share or like to help them find their people would mean a great deal. πŸ™

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?

4 frame comic. a street journalist (off frame) is in the subway near the stiles, approaching a big man in a khaki hat. he asks : Sir! Do you have an opinion
on the "non-binary" Canadian
who took a hair salon to
court over being asked to
chose between male or
female haircuts?
the man replies : you bet!
 It's a complete non-story.
they've had court precedent
that protects gender identity
since the nineties. The only reason
we're talking about this is because
the salon refuses to pay
the symbolic $500cad
($360usd) fine. 

And now, we get another full
news cycle demonizing trans
people. It's impossible to turn on the
radio without hearing some rando
chiming in. The national broad-
caster even published an interview
with a jurist famous for his
transphobia today, in which
he goes on and on about how
this could lead to a full-on
social "crisis".
The media'S
insistence on portraying
the most insignificant story
about trans and non-binary folks
as cause for indignation lays bare
its role in exacerbating anti-trans
sentiment by fanning the flames
of hate for clout. stop using
Trans lives as outrage
factory fodder.

One of my thousands of life drawings, watercolour and Indian ink. I always use an old-fashioned dip pen. If I post these I always label them as artistic nudity but Bluesky frequently adds another non-relevant label automatically

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, β€œObama: Dems need to avoid scolding and β€˜virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

A female character with pointy ears and long black hair, wearing a green kimono is seated on a wide chair and bends over a baby that is resting on her chest. They both have their eyes closed. They look in peace, enjoying a moment of calm indoor and safe from the light of the sun.

One hand on the waist of the other, the other for both is raised on the side, head level. Obneus is wearing a feather short cape with two very long feathers lying on the ground, their face is covered in black wet paint and their lips are yellow, disguised as a blackbird. Lunete is glowing with teal tones on her whole skin and hair. She wears a long white delicate gown.
