Before I get around to sharing some pics of the winter hikes I got up to this week, I thought I’d share my soulmate/ familiar who was thrilled when I returned home!

This is Trillian (feel free to let me know if you get the reference).

I adopted her from a shelter where she was still recovering from a broken pelvis in 2016, to help support my mental wellness, and we’ve taken care of each other ever since. At 11 years old now, she’s a “senior” cat but she’s still spry and playful as can be, happily full of zoomies and snuggles. #catsofmastodon #HHGTTG

It’s important that in movement building we are honest about the abuse of power, most often enacted by men who are leaders and mentors. Non-men hold movements together, sometimes this has even happened through keeping silent about serious violence/ assault, this cannot be the present or future we allow.

#introduction
Hello dear fediverse,

I’m Osden, a visual artist (sculpture, installation, video, & more) deeply interested in human/non-human relationships, art as speculative fiction, more just futures, ecological responsibility, and place-responsive & community engaged art.

I’m masc-leaning & non-binary, pansexual; Mad & chronically ill; a uni prof in studio art; kinda wordy; and go by Sheri as a professional/public pseudonym.

Cycling, hiking, seed harvesting, seed bombs, DIY community projects, & harm reduction are some of my great loves. I’m nerdy about native plants & hide-tanning; forever in awe of nature.

Doing my best to enact care in the face of so much local and global injustice. 🆓 🇵🇸
