Hi folks, I'm Jess 🌲 I'm a plant biologist by day, digital artist by night, and Jewish lesbian always. I love ttrpgs, audio fiction, and weird conifers (also I draw lots of fictional lesbians).

just saw a post on tumblr that mentioned me and it was so lovely and sweet but just a reminder that I am nonbinary and these days I do go by they/them pronouns 😊 I don't blame people if they don't know of course but yeah, just wanna make sure that's out there

[khalid 👑 @celicalms]

one of the biggest things I've learned from the slow death of twitter is that numbers dont matter; just work on your craft. all these sites will fall. but when the internet goes dark, will you be happy w the art youve created? have you made connections w people that will outlast?

[Ronen▼ @RonenV]

Imagine never doing anything athletic just because you think you won't make it to the Olympics. That's most people's relationship to making art.

Buy your friends shit listen to your friends shit art is all we got left and I guarantee you have a friend giving this shit everything they have

I need folks who are not LGBTQ to understand that today's ruling is not just about a website. It is a clear sign that Obergefell (same sex marriage) and Bostock (LGBTQ employment protections) are in danger of being overturned. This is a devastating ruling. Please understand that.

[lin @LilacMedusa]

It's noteworthy that she specifically says that lesbians were the portion of the queer community that welcomed her while gay men shunned her.

This goes against the now dominant narrative that lesbians are the transphobes of the LGBT. It wasn't true then and it's not true now.

I'm seeing comics and tweets in #ComicsBrokeMe talking about why comics are Good and Cool, why they do it, why the job is awesome. That's cool, but look. That's not the point. Never was. #ComicsBrokeMe is explicitly about the physical toll working in this medium has on the body.

[Janel Comeau 🍁 @VeryBadLlama]

apparently a lot of cis women need to hear this but a world where our faces, bodies, hair, breasts, clothing and voice are constantly scrutinized as "not feminine enough" is infinitely more dangerous than a world where trans women might also be in the bathroom and need to pee

[Follow Me On Bluesky @DaveScheidt This Place Sucks @DaveScheidt]

If you’re seeing all this #ComicsBrokeMe as a fan and wondering what you can do to help as a fan? Talk about the books you love. Subscribe to artists Patreons. Commission artists. Compliment creators more. Leave reviews. Buy your favorite book for a friend. It can go a long way.

[Kultbee 🐝 Comms open 🐝 @KultBee]

Have you ever wanted a Kultbee design of your own? Well now is your chance! For some limited slots I will be doing 2 styles of commissions, everything is researched and designed by me for you and you’re long for the ride!
Please Dm me if you’re interested 🥸

"draw fanart for popular fandoms even if you don't like them to get easy clout" no. I will draw fanart for a 50 year old Czech cartoon with no online fans or english translation and you're gonna like it

[Jini Maxwell @astroblob]

The exciting thing about art is that it nurtures our instinct to creatively interpret + relate to the world. We come away with questions bc we’re expanded by the experience. Outside the painting’s frame is us, looking at it! A vital curiosity that AI weirdos wont ever understand

[Jini Maxwell @astroblob]

You don’t need AI to tell you what exciting things exists outside the frame of a painting, Lynda Barry already showed you
