something to be said about the racism & ableism beneath the veneer of analog horror

at the Washington DC pro-Palestine protest (NOT Hands Off) today they unraveled a list of all Palestinians murdered in the last year and a half. Brian Becker and Eugene Puryear spoke and tied absolutely everything we are going through right now back to the devastating effects that imperialism and capitalism have on all of us.

this is what should be happening. there needs to be a unifying message and a cause to rally behind that involves actually changing the way things exist today, not restoring this country back to the ways that lead us here to begin with. this is not purity testing. this is the type of anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist movement that is necessary in the current moment and anything else is a waste of precious time.

musca the fly joins the eternal ant war

ggg was a great game for me to play bc theres a lot of things i needed to hear abt sexual repression & making art. it gave me a strong urge to start making more things, but i'm currently in a creative slump so i'm not actually sure what to Do

gabriel figure which i finished a year later! it is made of air-hardening clay, covered with primer, painted with acrylic paints and varnished

for the clear stand for those blue things on his head i used a 3d pen and clear plastic

a couple of pictures from the process

also i should mention that i took the pose for the figure from this art by @voistly on tumblr! pls follow him! :)

getting light brown mascara to put on my stache :]

ok i wanrt to make a non joke post abt it because im. genuinely freaking out over school shit

took a summer course and didnt realize there was prerequisites (photo and video) that i dont Have and therefore i technically shouldnt have been allowed info the course. bc when i signed up there Was no prereqs listed, but the course material is out of my reach and i dont understand it

i’m already being financially penalized for dropping a different course because the deadline to drop without incurring financial penalty was before any class even began

so my choices here are ‘suffer a hit to my transcript because im far out of my depth in a course i shouldnt have been able to join’ Or ‘suffer a hit to my wallet because im being charged hundreds of dollars for a course i shouldnt have been able to join’

got fucked pretty bad here either way!!! loll!!!

a really great organization that i don't see any posts about here is HEAL palestine. it was founded by steve sosebee, who was a founding president of the PCRF before leaving in late 2023 to refocus his efforts on heal palestine to better meet the needs of palestinians impacted by the genocide. the organization provides palestinians in gaza with food, clean water, shelters, "makeshift classrooms," and even medical evacuation for some children when it's possible--their services are pretty wide.

you can donate here if you would like to send a tax-deductible donation to an organization. also, i don't think any evacuations are possible right now, but if you're in the united states and you'd like to welcome medically evacuated children in the future, i highly recommend signing up for their newsletter or following them on social media so you can stay updated in case any children evacuated by HEAL come to your area for treatment. welcoming these kids at the airport is a really moving way to provide them with moral support, entirely for free.

Community Trash #7

2024-2025

Empty paint tubes and acrylic paint on plywood

For my 'Community Trash' series, I collect discarded or unwanted materials from friends, family, and community members: too-small offcuts and scraps, dried-out or contaminated paint, canvases lumpy with failed attempts, boxes laden with the dust and guilt of abandoned hobbies. Repurposing this creative trash reduces both my effect on the climate and the clutter in my friends' homes.

For Community Trash #7, I collected empty and dried-out paint tubes -- my own, my friends', and strangers' -- over about a one-year period.
