I'll be at tge Healesville zine fair this Saturday the 31st October. Second last market of the year. Come by and say hi.

I think artists and sex workers should have a natural allyship. Both of us are often told we should not be allowed to charge for our work if it is at all pleasurable. Both of us are wanted for what we can do, but our work is considered not worth paying for. We should stick together

Our Kickstarter campaign ends in 5 days❗️ Please consider supporting our project! I set the initial funding goal fairly low. We're still looking forward to your support.💕 #parakeet #budgie

Today we lost Walter Koenig. Some thoughts about a fine actor and genuinely nice guy....

In 2012, Robin Williams warned us about Trump’s ownership of pageants like Miss America and Miss Universe, comparing it to Michael Vick owning pet stores: “It’s a catch-and-release program.” We should have listened to Robin.

Oh we also got zombie woims. #art #artdoll #worms #handmade #furryart

shout out to all the artists trying to pay the bills and grappling with that feeling of desperation and uncertainty while trying to maintain creative fluency and a hopeful outlook that maybe “today will be the day things get a tiny bit easier”

I have sudden overwhelming need to put that last line on a badge...

‘Wildwood’ director Travis Knight on AI: “A pencil is a tool. A paintbrush is a tool. A 3D printer is a tool. A digital capture is a tool. AI is not a tool. AI can go fuck itself.”

Repairing clothing in the US can be expensive — sometimes exceeding cost of the garment itself — bc it's labor intensive. The denim repair above will also feel stiff at first. But results can be beautiful, add to the aesthetic, and allow you to develop better relationship with clothes.

Enjoyed seeing this woman's work. Sustainability isn't just about producer decisions, but also consumer decisions, namely their willingness to repair things when needed. This type of repair is easier on natural fibers, rather than stretch fabrics. Consider that when shoppping. IG loosethreadsrepair

a fashion designer once told me she wished people bought clothes like they buy furniture. when you buy a couch, you know you're going to live with it for 10+ years. clothing purchases are often much more impulsive; the items treated as disposable.
