Let's give 'em the platform they deserve 🫶🏻

I've been seeing so many artists doing renditions of not only the Rebel Loons, but also other state Rebel Birds, and I'm loving this trend so much. I had to do a Rebel Loon of my own 💙🩵🤍 using our Minnesota state flag colors. Also, charging up the laser eye just because I'm obsessed with laser loon. 🤣 Minnesota cannot be stopped, we cannot be silenced. Our communities are too strong for the feds to overcome. We will not back down. We stand with our immigrant neighbors and community members.

The bill to remove the ban now moves to the Senate for a vote. It's not too late to save the Boundary Waters from this environmental disaster. Contact your senators, tell them to keep this land protected. I know there's so much going on right now, in this country and Minnesota alone, but they want us overwhelmed by their chaos—that overwhelm benefits them.

Resources for aid in Minnesota can be found at standwithminnesota.com. If you're looking for ways to help, and especially if you're out of state and feeling helpless and looking for ideas, this website has a bunch of links in a well-organized list for different ways our communities could use assistance. Please also never stop talking and thinking about the Black and brown people who have been dying and tortured in ICE facilities. ilcm.org is a law center based in Minnesota doing work for immigrants—they have resources on their website, details on your rights, and are taking donations for their cause.

Matthew and I carved pumpkins last night. :^) This was actuality harder than it looks to do, lol. Wild that we've been together 10 and a half years, and this was the first time we've carved pumpkins together. 🤣 I just did a basic skull because I couldn't really think of what to do tbh, lol.

Girafarig is a palindrome.

Y'all know what the deal is.

[Image Descriptions: 1-3: Photos of a forearm over a solid black background, slightly varied angles. Along the full length of the forearm is a gray wash tattoo of a realistically styled dead tree, with bare branches spanning the upper half, and roots flowing down onto the hand. 4: The first 3 photos combined as a collage in a row.]

[Image Description: Forearm on black background. On the forearm is a tattoo of a seeded dandelion, with three seeds floating away in the breeze. Cursive writing, incorporated in the stem reads, "blow me." The tattoo is in grayscale with a pop of color in the head of the dandelion.]

This was a memorial piece that I did back in Nov 2020 for a very sweet gal. ❤️‍🩹 Her skin got pretty sick of me by the end, but she was a rockstar & sat like a champ. 💪🏻

Splashy & colorful elephant tattoo on the riblets from fall of 2020. :^)
