#artadventcalendar I took a class on painting acorns this week. This is my second attempt!

I made my first zine in 1985, I believe. I’m still making them in 2025, 40 years later. In 1985, it was unfathomable that I would co-organize a Black Zine Fair. I’m excited to share that the 3rd annual Black Zine Fair will take place on May 9, 2026. gogetfunding.com/black-zine-f... - please fund us.
Black Zine Fair Returns in 2026 — Help Us Bring It to Life
The Black Zine Fair was founded by Mariame Kaba and Neta Bomani in 2023 to address a clear gap: Black publishers and artists have long shaped independent publishing, yet we were still underrepresented...

Today's painting for the #ArtAdventCalendar. A moose in the mist :) Done in shades of raw umber. I just ordered a new palette, and can't wait to do a few moody silhouettes in desaturated colors :) #watercolor #painting #BskyArt #artyear #art #artist #ArtByHumans

This is absolutely amazing work! Check out the details ...
A Fun™️ finish from earlier this year for #ArtAdventCalendar Day 3:

I stitched this Fun Feast embroidery as a sampler, using French knots, chain stitch, brick stitch, long-and-short, back stitch, and satin stitch.

A college student complaining about a grade on a paper is not national news. Not even close. The details have minimal import outside the class itself.

Well-funded political activists targeting profs and TAs—in this case because they're trans—with the help of elected state officials? National issue.

For #artadventcalendar, one of my favorite paintings I did this year.

So true! I love to hear about the books you're writing or reading, and I need info.
I'm an easy sell!

A cool front cover helps, but people flip to the back cover in a bookstore for a reason.

Give us the blurb, at least.

Or tell us your favourite thing.

Or what was challenging.

Anything! Please. 🙏

Hi if you’re working for justice and striving for a better world you can do one small but hugely impactful thing: WEAR A MASK WHEN YOU GO TO VOTE

You will protect yourself and you will also protect all the vulnerable people around you who are literally risking their lives to make their voices count

May he fall into the traps he's dug for everyone else while pitching his shiny empty garbage. May he be haunted every day by his soulless approach to politics that sacrifices trans kids to keep a clear path to a presidential election that is so far out as to be imaginary. Fuck you, Gavin Newsom.

"Best" isn't really the term, but in 2000, at my now-ex's family Thanksgiving, a family friend told me that my wanting Gore to win (the election was still not over!!!) was the reason "we never should have given women the vote".
what's the best fight your family ever had at thanksgiving

This year really is proving to be harder than ever for trans kids. So many feel the world has given up on them. Things like this can make a small difference, showing they aren't completely hated and on their own.
Help us bring festive joy to trans youth at the end of a difficult year. Support Trans Secret Santa!
