Heyyy I helped make these! If yall wanna support a Seattle queer co-op and get some (or all) of these iridescent colors scope out the links in this post! And yeah, they work on darker paper as well!

Sketch and final

Just to love, and be loved in return Marker, ink pen, colored pencil #art

The part of me I lost

One of the coolest features of the Agami Heron is its gorgeous, flowing crest that flutters as it poses and preens. But I've never seen it up close before with the details and textures. #CostaRica #herons #nature #birds

Gonna make a piece about herbicide use sometime soon bc I have so much brewing in my brain about it... Have to use so much for work that it will likely give me cancer in the next 15-20 years, and yet it's the only way we can effectively combat some invasive species to restore threatened ecosystems.

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

WIP... How many animals can you see?

Low season.

Thought I'd make an official happy pride post showing this piece done by my bf (@compoundeyes.bsky.social) and I again πŸ₯° I love being trans and demi and making art with my bf to share that feeling with the world πŸ’–

Please read this, all of it. Especially if you're white. Wolf has put this crushing feeling into words better than I ever could've. When the Earth hurts, so do we. Very often do I look out and imagine the vast prairies of my home state. Now all gone, slowly torn apart to add onto the gentrification.

This thread is an all timer and if you ever hope to understand ecology you have to understand this first.

everytime i travel, i imagine every city i pass as the land it once was. no ugly concrete, no smog burning your lungs, no thousands of people congested together in misery. just endless plains, mountains, trees, beautiful clean waters and skies. but i know one day it'll all return to what it was.

this part. you NEED to be uncomfortable. you NEED to be disgusted. you NEED to feel the pain we've felt for hundreds of years. this is our reality. the privilege to turn a blind eye for your comfort is compliance. you need to turn that discomfort into rage, care, and action.

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

BIPOC are taken for granted everyday. the foundations that were built on our injustices is taken for granted. the stolen land you occupy is taken for granted. the fears we have been living with our whole lives is taken for granted. the injustices we continue to face are taken for granted.
