I think internationally, the veneer is starting to crack.
Please keep screaming at your politicians and in the meantime, do what you can in the present moment to help. None of the money you donate is a waste.

You remember Yasmein right??

“What the Creek Said”
A watercolor illustration titled “What the Creek Said” by Shimi & Critter. On the left, a small brown wren perches among green leaves. A pale blue creek winds down the center of the image, flanked by lush greenery. On the lower right, a golden-brown wolf pup with white markings bends to drink from the stream, eyes closed peacefully. The background is soft earth tones, blending into warm golds and greens. Overlaying the artwork is a poem in typewriter-style font. The poem is about a creature walking on four feet, communing with the forest, and feeling known and held by the land and sky. It evokes themes of Therian identity, creaturely grace, and spiritual belonging. The final lines express a longing not for death but for transformation—“to become, in this exalted creaturely state… to be held at last.” What the Creek Said Today I walked on four feet, although two were enough. The forest did not mind. The creek was speaking —in its clear tongue, …and I bent down, cupped it in paw-hands, drank what it offered— not to survive, but remember. I thought I heard my name, not as the world calls me— not by word nor brazen human sound— but in the gentle shape of air, before shame, before names, in that hush between a leaf …and its falling. I howled, just once and low, not for sorrow, but to join the chorus already going on without me. A wren answered. The cedar leaned closer. And I, made of fur and salt …and breath, I was fed, seen, and known. Somewhere—still far— a lamb watches the gate. But here, right here, the Shepherd’s hand is moss …and lichen and sky. I lay down beside the stone. I do not wish to die. Not now, no… not just yet —But simply to wait. Not to rise, nor to witness, but to become, in this exalted creaturely state. To be held …at last.

It’s still Pride Month in the Boiling Isles 🌈

(Been so fixated on drawing Pokémon boyfriends I almost forgot I’m a lesbian LOL)

I still cannot believe I had the chance to work on such an incredibly special show 🥹

Some personal rambles on the next slide
Timeskip Amity and Luz from The Owl House, smiling nose to nose and holding a rainbow pride flag around their shoulders. Amity is wearing a black crop top that reads Be Gay, Do Witchcraft. Luz’s purple baseball tee reads: Us Weirdos have to stick Together — the font colored like several different pride flags. Her white shoes have writing on them including Pride was a Riot, Stomp out Fascism, We are all Immigrants, and Trans rights are human rights. She’s also wearing a nonbinary bracelet, a fanny pack with a Dominican Republic pride flag, a bi pin, and a bi colored visor. Amity has rainbow colored hair, a lesbian flag in her pocket, pink heart eye sunglasses, and a trans pin that says “protect trans kids” They’re surrounded by colorful confetti and glitter. Text: I still cannot believe I got the chance to work on such an incredibly special show 🥹 Lemme rant for a sec: There’s so much more to The Owl House than just Lumity, but watching these girlfriends fall in love in canon really touched my life and the lives of so many queer kids around the world. I was so honored to play a small part in Luz’s coming out story and her relationship with Amity. I’ve visited middle schools, high schools, and colleges around the US where I spoke to classrooms about my job on TOH, and so many kids told me how much this show meant to them as young queers, artists, and neurodivergent weirdos. We need to be supporting those kids and their futures now more than ever. Nobody can diminish your light 🌈 Queer rights are human rights. Joy and Pride is resistance. Expression and Nonconformity are threats to power. So is Humor, and Art, and Love, and Community— all precious as they are vital, especially in times like these. Trans rights are human rights— the right to privacy, autonomy, and deciding what’s best for our bodies is between us and our doctors, not our governments. Anti-trans laws reflect fascist ideals, the lavender scare, and racist segregation throughout history. Immigrant Rights are human rights— the rights to travel, seek asylum, build a life for yourself, share your culture with others. Immigrants are a disruption to an ethnostate. Heroes and Villains from The Owl House, though fictional, represent and embody these very real concepts from our world. And that’s just part of the reason why this show genuinely resonates with me and so many people. Ok enough rambling from me, I hope you enjoy the art and please stay safe out there ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷

A safer place, in a softer world.
A trans boy whose body is ravaged with a fantasy illness called "white leprosy". He hides behind a large snail shell, as a metaphor for protection, for having his own metaphysical place of safety. He has a small "lamin" in front of him. A maranao wooden tower after the indigenous people of the southern Philippines. Curling plants, wildflowers and weeds and other fauna and snails gather at his feet.

To mark "Trump will declare a national emergency for mass deportations" day: here is the initial spreadsheet of our crowd-sourced *local* immigration advocacy/support organizations.

Please share widely, put to good use, and keep letting me know about more organizations folks can connect with.
