blocking tip: you don't have to wait to have a negative interaction with someone to block them. you can block them without ever interacting with them. I can't tell you how many times I've seen someone being rude to someone else and preemptively blocked them

"why'd they block me? we've never talked" bro if i see you being nasty to the bartender i'm not gonna chat you up

the place I work at remodeled these split gendered restrooms into “inclusive restrooms” and never told us what they meant while construction was ongoing. I need you to know every atom of potential criticism or whining that could’ve happened disappeared when people found out this meant we got 10 fully separate private bathrooms with sinks inside. I’ve not heard a single person crack a joke about the inclusive signage. this is the world TERFs are trying to steal from you

"it's just stress" oh thank god, it's just the silent killer that slowly kills you, perfectly harmless, no need to worry

FLY UPDATE: We’re officially 78% funded after just 7 hours.

Thank you to everyone who has backed, shared, commented, and believed in this story. Watching people rally around these characters has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

To celebrate, I wanted to highlight the incredible artists who created this epic piece of art, @awk3005_

I’ve been a fan of his work for years, so getting the chance to collaborate with him on FLY felt surreal. As a fellow Black artist with Ghanaian roots, his journey has always inspired me. Seeing him carve out his own path through art is a reminder of what’s possible when we bet on ourselves and our stories.

That’s why he was the perfect choice to draw the boys of FLY. This story is about discovering your power, and his work captures that feeling perfectly. Thank you so much @awk3005_ for creating this beautiful print for FLY.

We’re so close to the finish line. Let’s keep flying. BACK FLY on Kickstarter today!

yet another @color-palettes monthly palette challenge! This time with Leyf! She usually only has green locs cause y'know... Leaf, but I thought she would look cute with a bunch of colors! I usually only allow myself to use black and white with the palettes, but I thought it needed something with heavy contrast, and used brown for her skin :)

Triptych, 120 × 200 cm «The Frog Catcher». This is a triptych.At the moment, this is the largest painting I have ever completed.Finally, it is finished.The Frog Catcher was inspired by a day at a children’s park with my sons. There was no natural pond there—just a shallow water play area where children could splash and play. Somehow a frog ended up trapped inside. The concrete walls were too high, and it could not get out on its own.All afternoon children tried to catch it. Some wanted to look at it more closely. Others wanted to rescue it and set it free.My middle son, who has loved frogs and insects for as long as I can remember, spent nearly two hours patiently trying to catch it. Eventually he succeeded. In the painting, he is holding the lunch box where he carefully placed his prize.But not everyone appreciated his enthusiasm.For the first time, he encountered the kind of adult aggression that children do not expect. A woman walked over, took the box from his hands without asking, removed the frog, and threw it into the bushes.What stayed with me was not the frog. It was the look on my son’s face.Children are naturally curious. They want to observe, explore, understand, and connect with the world around them. Sometimes adults forget that curiosity is not cruelty. Curiosity is how we learn.The generation before mine often caught frogs and insects to study them. The generation before that sometimes dissected them in school. Today many people see such interest and immediately assume the worst.Yet every scientist, naturalist, inventor, and explorer began as a curious child who wanted to look a little closer.This painting is about that curiosity.About childhood.About the small worlds hidden beneath the surface.And about the importance of letting children discover nature with wonder instead of fear.I hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday.

I wish you kindness, love, childlike curiosity, and the courage to keep exploring the world around you.

❤️
