Big beautiful bees in our area!

I haven't posted about it much recently, but I'm still developing my little #digitalgarden. There's a lot more content and it's looking a bit more stylish too. Added a bunch of publications, notes on books, and paintings this week. Check it out if you want: www.ambervisualartist.com

It's trans day of visibility so I tried to bring enough flags for everyone: ✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍⚧️✨

Wrapping up teaching this week. Here's a favourite slide from today's lecture: "Fandom is a verb." #academicsky #academicchatter

Ah, you've both pulled this off so well! Great choice of setting too, omg

Saving for later viewing.

Cool to be counted among these rad island-area artists (Thanks, @amberlomax.bsky.social!)

a bunch of insecurities in a trenchcoat pretending to be a functioning woman

Wish she was my girl. But with a price tag of $2,109.61, she never will be 😢

Hi, it's me, I'm 2B in the club #nier [photo from Tinzo + Jojo: Dial Up Tour, @tin-zo.bsky.social, @jojolorenzo.bsky.social]

Have you told your local library you love them lately? Say hi to a librarian, check out material, return that overdue book, and take part in events. They need your support. 💙📚

album of the year (yes, I know it's only March) #adarook #unkillableangel

Behold! 🐝

Saving for later reading.

ate pizza here (inside my vehicle so the gulls wouldn't fight me because I'd lose)

2am downtown selfie (was waiting for poutine) (the good thing about this 2B cosplay look is that you really only have to wear 1 contact lens)

Reminder to myself and others.

Took these pics *after* the recent @tin-zo.bsky.social + Jojo set in Victoria, BC (no phones on the dance floor!). Immaculate vibes from front to back. #dailuptour

Lovely postcard from a couple of lovely people. It got sent back and ran over a little bit, but that gives it character~ (Excuse the pixelation lol– an address was stamped on the front)

cosplaying as 2B at a night club. why not, this fits goth night, right? #nier

With the understandable increase in nationalism lately, I must clarify: I'm not Canadian like hockey, mounties (cops), snow, or other bullshit stereotypes. I'm Canadian like gay rights, gender affirming surgeries, universal healthcare, and giving indigenous lands back. Don't get it confused.

Now officially in my gardening arc. Here's before and after shots of a few garden beds and pots, all ready for planting. 🌱

GUYS. IT GOT ACCEPTED.

Step 3: It's starting to come together! I created some pages for my personal website wiki, and added notes for 5 books/essays. #learninginpublic #digitalgarden

Quit your bellyaching and get on with the heist Kirishima! #BNHA #KRBK If you want a print of this one, leftovers are open now: defiancezinekrbk.bigcartel.com

The time to read and collect DIY anarchist knowledge is now! Let's empower ourselves and help each other. I read these two books last night by @microcosm.bsky.social 📚💙 1) How to Get Your Period: A Guide to Performing Menstrual Extraction 2) Boobs Not Bombs: Produce Your Own Transdermal Estrogen

Step 2: Got the wiki format for my website up and running tonight! I haven't worked with php much so it's testing me, but it's functional. #learninginpublic #digitalgarden

Right wing political party hosted a meeting here bc they want to divide us politically, and when interviewed after the event ended, one high ranking member called our city "one of the wokest, most hostile environments in the province." I AM SO PROUD OF US, #NANAIMO. 💖

This random Dark Souls novel captures the vibe of the moment (which isn't a great sign, really)
