Part II of the Winter 2026 Protest Pack has dropped. I asked fellow local artists @gawki and @malivethart to join me and would love for you to join us as well. By supporting this fundraiser we are fighting back against what is happening in Minnesota and around the country.

Owning a cat is saying things a silly high-pitched voice like "stinky!! stinky butt face!" for no reason other than your cat is there and she is, indeed, a stinky butt face.

I've seen a lot of people worried about using AI logos for ICE OUT protests. While I can't personally verify which logos are AI and which are not I did make a human-made version of the Minnesota Rebel Alliance Logo.

No one told me this until Wednesday, so I'm telling everyone. Remember how you powered through finals week or whatever and then promptly got sick? A similar thing may happen when you try to take a break after prolonged exposure to disturbing material, e.g. the US news.
Recharge. Stay hydrated. Eat a healthy snack. Breathe. Embrace moments of joy wherever you can find them.
Prolonged stress can have long term health consequences. Self care is not selfish - it’s empowering.
