A sketch of crows for the birdtober day 5 prompt, intelligent. I love crows… I’ve been wanting to draw a roost of crows since we had one gather around our house… so amazing and almost scary. Super cool :) #Birdtoberclub #BirdArt #SciArt #birdtober #wildlifeArt #birds

Something a bit different with this little song sparrow for birdtober day 5: musical. I got carried away last night making kind of a digital collage and then forgot to post it yesterday! #Birdtoberclub #BirdArt #SciArt #birdtober #wildlifeArt #birds

I struggled to contain my rage this past week reading about the Cornell Seven. Rage towards men who use the degradation of women as a bonding activity. Rage towards the cowards who stay silent and perpetuate the system they benefit from.

New small relief print from @monicatrinidad.bsky.social ! May our daily choices, actions, and commitments continue to pollinate just futures for all who demand it. 🦋🐝🌸 justseeds.org/product/poll...

Inspired by the historic groundbreaking ceremony of the Chicago Torture Justice Memorial, proceeds from this limited edition print supports future community engagement, programming, and mutual aid projects at the memorial site.

Organizing, largely led by the survivors and their family members, made this happen. This permanent public memorial honoring survivors of police torture is the first of its kind in the U.S. It was also the final, unfulfilled promise of the Reparations Ordinance that Chicago’s City Council passed in 2015—which was also the first time survivors of racially-motivated police torture have been given reparations under international law. This memorial doesn’t undo the harm that was done, but it creates a critical space to collectively remember, heal, and learn. Oppression also thrives on forgetting—so the work doesn’t end once the memorial is constructed.

New 3-color risograph print from Meredith Stern, celebrating gardens and the futures they promise! justseeds.org/product/sust...

This image was created when I was transplanting seedlings that I had started as seeds, into the garden. The act of placing small, strong plant babies into the earth is one of the best feelings. We scoop out a small hole in the earth, and place the baby into the earth. We pat the ground around it, and water it in, to allow it to quench it's thirst under the brilliant sun. Working with plants connects us to each other, and to all living things, giving us strength to grow together.
