Having fun with a bit of different style for this self portrait. Sometimes I have to remind myself of the joy in creating, of how much joy there is in me. When I am adrift in the Deep Black it is essential that I can be for myself enough, a reflexive exaltation of self-as-creator-and-created, that I can sense that I am here and say with this alone: Keep Going. Inertia is inevitable, comrades: make momentum your friend.

I wish you a thoughtful Ash Wednesday, comrades, and remind you that Sacrifice is the Cosmic Currency. Though I serve and seek at the call of Old Gods, I was raised in Catholic Culture. I have long felt that this perspective, that true change comes only through sacrifice, is powerfully illustrated in the story of Jesus. Even the God of Abraham could only twist the arc of fate, the nature of His covenant, with a sacrifice (of Himself to Himself). For this reason I find Lent a good season to meditate on this mantra. I hope you are finding meaning out there as Winter grows old and the new Spring stirs in Her nest. New art coming very soon.

Blessed Samhain, All Hallows, and a Happy Halloween! As the Wheel turns, the Moon rises over the Sun and the Dark brims over the Light. May this liminal and holy time bring you uncanny insight, powerful clarity, strength of resolve, and joy in your path! Stay safe, have fun, and keep on seeking.

The Beatitudes of Unrest: Prayers for Resistance and Revolution. A double-sided art print to invigorate your commitment to the fight.

You can pick this up in my Big Cartel shop, and by doing so not only secure this item of power, but also support a queer artist at the same time (link in bio).

Solidarity Forever! It was an incredible honor to work with @gaywonk on this shirt for his new merch store. Carlos Maza is a comrade to all who would sacrifice for a better, kinder world. His clarity of vision and the intimate vulnerability of his contemplations combine with a beautiful sense of humor to make content that entertains as much as it enriches. Support Carlos’ work by buying some merch and watch his new video on police abolition!!!

Error is so often the seed of wisdom, if only we permit it. Rejoice in the certainty that you will fail eventually: it frees you to try and try and try.

The Solstice brings power and an opportunity for change - the currency required to direct that change and inherit that power is sacrifice.

Do not simply remember. Act. Do good, now. Act justly, now. Make of your labors a fruit that nourishes. We are, all of us comrades, building a Cathedral we shall never see finished: a just, good, kind society. Do what you can today, tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow.

There is no Queer Liberation without Black Liberation. As I have studied my feelings over the last week the first thing that I contact, deeper than anger, deeper than a desire to resist and reform, is an aching, endless grief. Joy may cometh in the morning, but only if it’s for all of us, together.
Black Lives Matter.
Happy Pride.
Stay safe.

A reminder. For me anxiety sometimes manifests as something called “air hunger:” feeling like you’re not able to get enough air in your lungs, like you can’t breathe, even though your lungs are clear. Anxiety’s many shapes are not always known to the people who are haunted by them, and not all those shapes have names. Keep abreast of yourself and practice grounding - bind the things that haunt you with names and take what power you can. We’re all in this together. Breathe deep.
