Small quilt for some friends who got married recently

Photo of a small quilt block wall hanging. The design features a cowboy boot made from different fabrics. The boot has a heart with the date “September 27 2025” embroidered in it. To the right of the boot are the names “ANNAH + AMOS”, done in yellow fabric, hand stitched appliqué.

Learning pigment and dye stuff from my friend :)

Photo of 3 pots on a stove. One pot is full of amaranth, one is full of goldenrod, and the largest pot is full of black walnuts. Each plant pot is full of water. The photo has been cropped so you can just barely see someone’s hand holding a wooden spoon on the right side.

Photo of a jar with some red amaranth dye. In the background is a blurry shot of a kitchen counter.

Photo of a wet piece of dyed fabric being held over a pot of black walnut dye bath. The fabric is a lovely shade of brown and is being held up with a wooden spoon.

my friend Ahmad and his family of 11 need your help. following the ceasefire, ahmad returned to his home in the north of Gaza alone. they can't afford the transportation cost for the rest of their family to move from the south, nor the cost of rebuilding. please support them ❤️‍🩹

I am fundraising for an anonymous friend, who is a trans sex worker and POC. They are at risk of losing custody of their children. Please, please donate. This is a situation that is painful and scary beyond description.

PLEASE SHARE GRAPHICS WIDELY

URGENT NEED! HELP KEEP FAMILY TOGETHER, DONATE NOW!

We are raising funds for a pillar of our community: a trans sex worker of color who is at risk of losing custody of their children. While their lawyers are confident they can win this discriminatory case, funds are needed by February 2026. We believe they should no longer have to face this on their own, which is why we are asking for your support.

Goal: $50,000

We are raising funds for a beloved community member; a trans sex worker of color who is at risk of losing custody of their children. For their safety and privacy they must remain anonymous, but this is a pillar of our community, loved and verified by those of us running this fundraiser.

Our friend is facing a trial in February regarding the custody of their young children. The case against them is based on the fact that their primary form of income is sex work. Notably, the judge of the initial custody arrangement ruled that their job was not reason enough to restrict their parenting time years ago. Because of this precedent, their lawyer feels very confident they will win their upcoming case.

To defend their rights to parent their own children, our friend needs to raise $75,000 by February 2026. This staggering amount of money is required by the court to cover the costs associated with a two day trial (lawyers fees, expert witnesses, the court reporter, depositions, creation of trial binders, the list goes on). If they cannot secure these funds by the February deadline, they will be forced to settle, resulting in severely reduced interaction with their children. We obviously do not want this to happen.

Our friend has provided for themself and their children for years, fighting their custody battle in private while continuing to be an incredible parent, friend, and educator. They can no longer face this by themselves, which is why we are asking for your support.

In our current political climate, we know that our friend's situation is especially precarious. This is a crucial moment to show solidarity with a community member who needs it more than ever.

please do something. anything. please at least today educate yourself about the Balfour Declaration (signed in 1917) and the Mandate for Palestine (drafted in 1919). it's been 100+ years. that's how far back this injustice goes. the world has watched for a century. it should not still be happening

my hands are shaking with rage and grief. i shouldn't have to do this. the edited text on this image should not exist. this should not still be happening in 2025

a panel from my entry in Samidoon. it is sepia tone of a palestinan family walking. the caption reads "in 2024, the images from inside Gaza echo my family's storie from Palestine. the walk away from our tattered homes looks the same as 50 years ago." the 2024 is crossed out witht 2025 written next to it. my hands are shaking with rage and grief as i type

Sometimes having to do art for work is good practice but it is always a pain because i hate using procreate (program we use to teach)

boss requested an example of diff ppl wearing the same outfit, heres the YINZ CITY baristas + isaiah (cafe alumni). hands are above my dayjob pay grade. now with alt text. RIP image compression

digital lineart drawing of four YINZ CITY characters all wearing the same outfit. from left to right: Dominique, Nabokov, Kit, and Isaiah. the outfit is composed of a short sleeved mockneck, high waisted pants, and black boots. the characters all have different body types so the outfit is styled slightly differently on each. the bottom right corner is signed “higu rose 2025”
