Unapologetic Love ❀️ It has been difficult to find the most apt words to describe this book. Each story was so real, raw and touching. The breadth of the human experience of love captured across its pages. Reminding us all at the end of the day that we all just want to love and be loved in return.

At almost 1K followers 🀯 Hi everyone! I’m here, I’m queer. Idk what I’m doing. What kind of updates would you like from this Cali-based indie author?

The witch linocut-in-progress I’ve been posting is an illustration for a series of short stories I’m working on. One of those stories is in the Unapologetic Love anthology, which is raising money for the ACLU.

How I arrived on BlueSky:

So very proud to be part of this beautiful press πŸ₯°

I need $40 for a new paper-like screen protector for my iPad. How do I fundraise this πŸ˜… I usually charge $55 for a (private) commission like this, would anyone be keen if I drop it to $45?

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

β€œThe time is always right to do right.” β€” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. #mlk #photography

Today is the day! Spend this otherwise bleak day reveling in queer joy and resilience. Spend it supporting the ACLU and uplifting queer indie authors. Spend it resisting hatred and bigotry. Spend it celebrating love and the strength of community. Grab your copy here: mybook.to/unapologetic...

β€œWe must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” - Dr. Martin Luther King

Today we celebrate a true American hero. A man of faith and integrity. A decent man. A man who had a dream. And though we as a nation have not fully lived up to that dream, I have hope that one day we will hold these truths to be self-evident: that ALL are created equal.

I’m a proud Californian. I’m enby (they/them). I’m queer. I’m an artist, an author. I’m a wife. I’m a cat mom (x3) And I’m not going anywhere. Let’s build a stronger community πŸ«‚ πŸ©·πŸ§‘πŸ’›πŸ©΅πŸ’™πŸ’œπŸ€ŽπŸ–€πŸ©ΆπŸ€
