Feeling a bit powerless as a voter in a liberal state where abortion is legal, but doing what I can using my art to support people who aren't as privileged.

@DoNatoBomb wait, is this not about dental scraping?

First “support” ticket I’ve received like this. This is also the first time I’m happy someone isn’t a customer. Smh.

@neginsairafi They're rats that can more easily attack you from above.

Curiosity over criticism. Open up that heart, buddy. I love my trans friends and it’s not my job or anybody else’s job to judge someone’s relationship to their own sexuality or gender. Mind ya business

[Rick Kitagawa (he/him/his) @RickKitagawa]

@margoaaron I also make sweet gifs like this, Margo, soooooo either that's a great idea or a terrible one, lol.

(Yes, I just meme'd myself)

[Rick Kitagawa (he/him/his) @RickKitagawa]

I totally didn't ask @margoaaron or Kristen if I could make this, but I made it anyway, their branding be damned (sorry?).

PS - Brainstorm Road opens in a few days to the first group of people looking for awesome folks to build with.

You know what's always fun? Finding out your @Kiva loans have been paid back, and you get to find new people around the world to loan it to.

Microloans ftw.

When you resort to poisoning schoolgirls, you know a) you're losing the war, and b) you're a piece of human garbage.

[Masih Alinejad 🏳️ @AlinejadMasih]

I told Gaurdian; the intentional poisoning of schoolgirls in Iran is a revenge by Islamic Republic against the brave women who rejected the forced hijab and shook the ‘Berlin Wall’ of Khamenei.This biological terrorism should be investigated by the UN,” https://t.co/wAXuNlB0bh

@neginsairafi This is infuriating

[Rick Kitagawa (he/him/his) @RickKitagawa]

I'm more and more aligned these days with co-creating things and building in public. So much so that I started a new collection of work where the direction of things is based on feedback from y'all.

Give it a spin!

Collector's Choice poll for this next piece, titled "Privilege."

This externalizes the toxic inferno that is unchecked privilege usually directed at service workers and the underprivileged.

This 48 hr poll is going to be about edition size / drop method 👇🏼

A, artist friend of mine is looking for some work. He's a great draftsman, and if you need any game art or character illustration, definitely check him out.

He's professional, ships on time, and is a super good guy, so check out his work and get yourself some custom art!

[Burzak @BurzakNFTs]

tl:dr; I need work, fast. #commissionsopen #artcommissions

I am opening my art commissions services up again, so if you, or a friend of yours, need custom made artwork, please consider checking out my newly made https://t.co/LNklQf8QOT website and reach out to me.

[Rick Kitagawa (he/him/his) @RickKitagawa]

I technically learned this a week or two ago, but when you're talking about the country that's not Syria that was ravaged by an earthquake recently, you spell it "Turkiye" not "Turkey."

Now you know.

Anyone want to gift me $70k-ish so I can give Raccacoonie a good home?
