Welcome, new followers! 👋❤️ I guess I should do a new intro! 😅 I'm Xenia, a nonbinary, ND, disabled, chronically ill artist in Norway (originally from US). I love to draw all fantasy and furry critters, but especially winged ones! 🪽 I'm also an old-school traditional artist learning digital media. 😊
Colored pencil drawing of a mandarin duck and a wood duck posing together in a Japanese garden with a bamboo grove and an oriental wooden bridge. Ink drawing on parchment of a lioness taur asleep on a gnarled tree bough. Ink drawing, digitally colored, of a sleeping fantasy doe with a feathered tail, surrounded by an ivy border that spells out the name "Lockett", and a parchment ribbon banner wrapped around her forelegs. Ink drawing, pencil shaded, of a badger cradling and bottle-feeding an arctic fox cub. The badger is sitting in the grass with his back against a gnarled willow tree, next to a pond filled with water lilies.

Did you know that boobies don’t have nostrils? 😲 That helps them avoid swallowing water when they dive 🌊. They breathe through openings under the yellow plate, near the corner of the bill. Do you see?👀

and then people have the audacity to claim it's because you're not trying. your life flashes before your eyes. you are forced to internalize the reality that you trying your goddamned best is other people's version of "not trying at all"

ADHD is just one continuous parade of doing your best to keep up with everything and every week you learn you've forgotten to do something crucial

the reason you can't say "sexual assault" or "rape" on so many major platforms is because the christofascists demanding this censorship from tech companies want to keep wielding sexual violence in the dark as a tool of power

the forced self-censorship gibberish we all have to do on social media now is having a devastating effect on the way people communicate with each other. nobody in a healthy society is saying "unalived"

It doesn't matter how despicable a person is, mocking their innate physical appearance is always wrong.

Not because it's cruel to them, but because it perpetuates the harmful idea that innate physical appearance has anything to do with one's character / beliefs / actions.

Each move a reflection, a reaction, an answer
The sweep of my wings and yours against the sky
A dance of two, both, the other sought after
Our song intertwined, and together we fly

It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained.

These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

Digital painting of a merman. He has fangs, blaring red eyes, and fins all over his pale body. His lower half is humanoid in shape; it is green and instead of a giant fish tail, he has an elaborate shaped pair of flippers. He has a tail that ends in the same pattern as his flippers, and his blonde hair is flowing in the water.

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

a small white dragon with fae-like wings trots along, leaving shining white mushrooms in its wake. The dragon is a tiny beacon of light in the overwhelming dark of the woods.
