January illustration. 🔵⭐️

I do in fact draw btw, despite my lack of posts in that regard. 😅 Even with dire current events, I hope to post art more consistently this year.

#art #oc #sketch #illustration #originalcharacter #blue #yellow #character #

Illustration of a black woman character with brown, curly hair, wearing a blue jacket with constellation patterns, a yellow sweater vest, yellow earrings and bracelet, a purple ascot scarf, blue pants, and brown shoes. She’s confidently, yet slightly cautiously falling forward into an illuminated area within a dark space.

Hey talk! My hometown introduced legislation to make it a trans sanctuary city. The democratic socialists of Cleveland are collecting signatures to support this legislation! Please boost and sign, even if you aren’t in the area.

actionnetwork.org/petitions/su...

Trans rights in Ohio and nationwide are under attack, so what do we do? Stand up, fight back!

Legislation has been introduced to Lakewood City Council to make Lakewood into a Transgender Sanctuary City. This would protect trans people from federal and state laws that criminalize gender nonconforming presentation and gender affirming care. The Trump Administration is targeting trans people with unjust attacks at every turn. Lakewood prides itself on being a Progressive city by recognizing Pride Month. Supporting this legislation is another way that we can show that Lakewood residents stand behind our values. Let Lakewood City Council know that you stand with the trans community!

Why read books? Because there's a book for EVERYONE out there. And once you find the right book - reading will change your life forever! #literacy

My mom's abusive partner left leaving us extremely short on rent and any money for food. It's just me, my mom and my little sister and I'm the only source of income right now.

It's gonna be extremely difficult paying rent and getting through the month.

For private family reasons I don't want to get into, my family's life is about to get much harder. Gonna have substantially less free time than I already have and it's going to be even harder to survive financially.

Happy Pride. Over 900 anti-trans bills have been introduced this year alone. This isn’t a debate—it’s a coordinated attack. We don’t do silence. We show up, we speak out, and we fight back. Always.🏳️‍⚧️

A trio of Kirbys, colored red and pink, demonstrating the many forms of the Mic Ability. The one on the bottom screams into a mic, sporting red and gold headphones. Top left screams into a microphone, while sporting a green, yellow, and orange mohawk like a rocker. Top right screams into a yellow air horn, while sporting a white baseball cap.

We refuse to be treated like fools while Democratic leadership sells us out and expects the outrage to fade.
