Hello! As the bird app has become an absolute dumpster fire, I've decided to try out Mastodon. I'm hoping I'll like it, but I'm still trying to find my way around so I thought I'd try an #introduction. I'm an Artist and Illustrator in the Niagara Region (Ontario, Canada). I work in coloured pencil, watercolour, ink, and acrylic. I'm currently working on illustrations for my own tarot deck! As well as my love for #art and #tarot, I'm also a lifelong #geek, a #book worm, a #horror fan, a lover of #myth & #magic, a #quote collector, a #cat enthusiast, and a list maker. I would love to connect with other creatives and people with similar interests so please say hi if any or all of these apply to you!

Their high school canceled an LGBTQ play. These teens put it on anyway.

Their Indiana school rejected « Marian. » So, after three frenzied weeks of preparation, they took their revolt offsite — and staged it at an outdoor theater.

@nus TN Republicans have been overstepping their bounds for awhile now, drawing Black citizens out of representation and worse. It was a bad week for Tennessee Republicans and a great week for the people of Nashville desperate for their voices to be heard.
