Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

I love this photo! 2019 feels like a lifetime ago. The following year, WIP brought so many folks together safely during COVID. Though we've felt how the world moved on reflected in membership. But COVID never went away! And we're still pushing to find others who are navigating work in a pandemic.

If you have an R rep, call 'em up and ask them why they hell they aren't speaking out like Balderson. Call 'em now. Tell 'em to stand up for you against Trump and Musk. Ask 'em if they're cowards. Tell 'em to step up like Balderson, or step down. reps.fyi

Getting real tired of every third kickstarter on my feed using gen ai images. And it sucks that table top game kickstarters are some of the worst offenders.

Cool. It can help you imagine all the jobs you could have had if tech companies weren’t currently active participants in destroying society.

In 2020 I illustrated a chapter for Shay Mirk's anthology graphic novel, Guantanamo Voices, about human rights lawyer Thomas Wilner. Along with others, Wilner's case against the government for unlawfully imprisoning 12 Kuwaiti men was supported by Korematsu, who fought that same fight before.

On this Day of Remembrance, we honor the 120,000 Japanese Americans unjustly imprisoned during WWII because of their heritage. Their resilience remind us to never forget the lessons of history. We will continue to fight for justice, equality, and civil rights for all.

If there's a lesson to learn from the Humane AI pin's demise, it's to call bullshit on AI more often

New post on Patreon featuring a sneak peek at a pair of portraits I made for some dear friends. I also chat about the stressful January I had (and that was BEFORE the inauguration 😵‍💫) and how a little quiet cowork time in Work In Progress has helped claw my way out of a fresh burnout.

Today @thesicktimes.bsky.social: Without clear clinical guidelines in México, people with Long COVID face gaslighting and erasure. A lack of information and protocols causes people with the disease to fend for themselves. Great story by freelancer Annika Hom: thesicktimes.org/2025/02/18/w...

i dislike the notion that "things have to be difficult to be valuable" as a counterpoint to AI, because ime most of the stressors that make my work difficult are the result of capitalism and ableism, not the work itself

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

"Resistance" isn't going to be overthrowing the government for the vast majority of us. Resistance is going to be taking care of each other.

Nicola has worked so hard over the years to lift creative freelancers up and give them the support and community that is often missing when you strike out on your own. So much of my early career was spent fumbling around in the dark, and it doesn't have to be that way.
