I don't know about anyone else, but I always feel annoyance and exasperation at a piece this big with this many small details. When I finish it I have to hide it away for a few days before I really appreciate what I've done. 12x17 watercolor, colored pencil. Maybe I'll call it "Feelin' Stumped" 😂

A watercolor and colored pencil study of a rotting stump. Against a swampy background. Pink mushrooms grow out of the side of the stump. Mostly greens and grays

I have a album full of reference photos, I have no idea why I hoard them like a goblin without ever labeling them. That's how I get through a entire painting and and think- where the hell is this anyway? I'm pretty sure its a small waterfall and spring near Marymere Falls, WA Watercolor & chalk.

Watercolor painting, view of a small waterfall and spring the water cascades down from center, through rocks and fallen branches and trees towards the viewer. Giving the appearance that the viewer is looking though branches and moss to see the spring. The branches are bright green and the water varies in color from a deep turquoise to a light grey blue.

There was a meeting at our city hall about trans safety and these are the notes I wrote for an impromptu speech I gave, one of about 20 that evening. I'm definitely gonna be attending more meetings and giving more speeches in the future.

Text that reads: I am set to perform at the Avenue Cafe on Saturday, to use my freedom of speech, but I've never had more stage fright in my entire life. In 15 years doing drag, burlesque, and performance art, I've never been this scared. The first amendment is not equally applied to everyone. Some people have more freedom to speak than others and some of those people have used their free speech to threaten the trans community. We have laws against hate speech, but laws that aren't enforced fail to be laws. Why we have hate speech laws is because hate speech is terrorism. An act of terrorism has been committed in Lansing. One man's words have terrified the queer and trans people of this entire city. The terrorism doesn't start with the gun, it starts with the words. A balloon popped at the Ave and people thought we were about to be the next Pulse massacre. And it got me wondering, if that gunman had given warning that he was coming, would anyone have taken steps to prevent it? Would anyone be proactive about it, or would they also be met with a shrug? Ally is useless as a noun. It's a verb. It requires action. Reaction is almost always too late.

From a writer group post someone sent me: "...the attitude now is so exclusive and unwelcoming for those of us who are either pro-AI or use AI" GOOD JOB, EVERYONE, KEEP MAKING THEM FEEL UNWELCOMED, YOUR SHAME IS WORKING. 🥰

I think Duke really hit how I've felt for the past week. Squatchcon was a blast, can't wait to go next year. Thanks to everyone who came to the panels, or stopped by my booth to say hello- I really appreciate it!
