Attended a panel titled β€œIDEAS for a Better Canada” by CBC + Nahlah Ayed. Shout out to our local library for hosting. It is so important & necessary to discuss the housing crisis and share our stories. #Nanaimo @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social @savethecbc.bsky.social

Made this illustration to explain to my MEd supervisor what it's like to be a post-secondary sessional/adjunct instructor. (For any students that might see this: there's good aspects too. And most likely, that's you!) Artwork details: ipad + procreate. #academicchatter #academicsky

Did all the chores yesterday, making my pain level a consistent 11/10 today. Yaaaay.

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

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

saturday self-portrait (03/29/2025) artwork details: ipad/pencil + procreate, 1.5hrs #ootd #bubbline #sketch

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. πŸ’™πŸ“š

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. 🌱
