Night fell as we were visiting Marley Station Mall, resulting in some of my all-time favorite pictures.

The anchor that's walled off from the mall and has the light bars up the exterior was the mall's original Macy's location, then briefly Boscov's after Macy's moved to its current location in the mall. Boscov's bankruptcy of 2008 closed this location, which has been a data center ever since.

Dysphoria (2025)

This is a repaint of an illustration I first posted right here on this account over a decade ago when I first transitioned. I did this for TDOV this year as a sort of 'then vs now' for myself more than anything. A lot has changed in a decade. I've changed.

A decade ago visibility felt like liberation, but today it feels like a target. A decade ago politicians made a lot of promises to us, and today they can't run away from us fast enough. A decade ago I was crashing out in a dysphoria spiral. Today, in spite of everything, I'm at peace with myself.

It's Pride Month in the States and the Trans community is going through it. Between the Skrmetti decision and the threat of HR1 stripping care from Trans people of ALL ages on Medicaid and ACA plans, Trans people need support more than ever. So I'm making this illustration available as a print in my shop (link in bio) and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Point of Pride, an organization dedicated to providing financial aid for transition care. I'll post receipts of funds donated at the end of the month. I'm aiming to raise at least $2000, as that's the amount needed to cover 12 months of telehealth services, prescription medications, lab work, and more for at least one trans person in need of HRT. Transition care really IS life saving, it saved MY life. I wouldn't have lived to make any of the art that people have told me they love so much. My whole portfolio, all my work over the years, none of it would exist. If my art has ever meant anything to you, please, help.

Five things to remember about war:

Many things reported with confidence in the first hours and days will turn out not to be true

Whatever they say, the people who start wars are often thinking chiefly about domestic politics

The rationale given for a war will change over time, such that actual success or failure in achieving a named objective is less relevant than one might think

Wars are unpredictable

Wars are easy to start and hard to stop
