Health and wealth beyond the narrow scope of ableism and capitalism. May this lunisolar year of the double fire horse be one of renewed and deepened commitments to one another. May empire and all its enablers crumble and burn. 🍊🧧🫰🏼 #YearOfTheHorse
Support for @yamen_nashwan ❤️🔥
For the rhythm: Share your favorite animal and why.
I’ll go first. Aside from Shiba Inu’s, the cats of dogs, I’m kind of obsessed with the Pallas’s Cat because it’s a small, fierce predator that stands on it’s bushy tail to keep its toe beans warm. Very cute but would absolutely not want pets or cuddles.
Boost, save, leave a comment, follow Yamen, pool up and support regularly. Lives depend on it.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1) Fundraiser designs are to boost awareness, but it is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS best to give directly.
2) Blankets are experiencing delays but redistribution will continue as always.
“I made extra, can I share some with you?” These are words that saved me when I was a kid and food insecure while on, then known as, food stamps.
The ending of SNAP requires our urgent action, mutual aid, and a bit of community creativity. This is an extension of my art piece, ‘Feed Community Not Capitalism’.
ISO Recipes that are:
- affordable/easy to make
- culturally affirming
- original/familial (no AI slop)
- capable of feeding many (think potluck for community)
Form is linked in the usual spot or use the QR code.
I would like for this to be a resource and also a way for us to raise some funds for the good folks over at @chifoodsovereignty .
I will make the digital zine available on my site for free and resourced folks are encouraged to donate more. You can donate directly to @chifoodsovereignty (CFSC) or on my site and I will redistribute any funds I collect.
Please share with folks who would be interested in contributing. There is a part of the form where you can share the story behind your recipe. Food is culture and storytelling. May our stories be ones of community care. 🙏🏼🍊
P.S. I just moved back to Chicago 🫰🏼
I’ve been thinking about what it means to shed ways of thinking as we encounter new information. Recognizing how the poppy flower seems to connect Palestine, California, and my Chinese heritage is what lead me to this thought: “Blessed are those who continue to uphold our ancestral legacy of solidarity and care.” Because I don’t know where I’d be without the leadership and teachings of ancestors, past and present, who guide us as we connect the dots between our liberatory movements.
👉 Swipe for solidarity and care action items. Please share those slides widely and contribute what you can.
📚 @kellyhayeswrites shared a worksheet called “Mapping Community Defense and Care in Our Neighborhoods”. It was created after “60 Chicago activists and organizers gathered to discuss tr*mp’s threatened military occupation of [Chicago].” I shared the link in my stories and you can get the download link from @kellyhayeswrites ’ bio 🔗. Review, study, practice, prepare.
As always, it took me a while to finish this piece and I quite obviously did not have these ready for Lunar New Year. But since I finished these before the Year of the Horse (coming up), it’s fine...right? The message remains unchanged regardless of the day, month, or year. 🐍
It’s National Dog Day! There are lots of new folks here so I obviously need to reshare the origin story behind my shop name. An ode to @orioninthechi ’s most beloved and prominent feature. 🌚 (Somehow cut off the fact that the sticker sheet was designed to raise money for the @chicagoabortionfund , but I think you get the gist right?)
RISE UP ❤️🔥🐦🔥 Channeling phoenix power in this new mini print. It will be available at upcoming markets (and online). 100% of profits from this print will be redistributed to @ocrrn to support folks affected by 🧊. (Lmk if yall want bigger sizes)

(I don’t know why the 2nd slide got all stretched but I’m not changing it. The message remains unchanged. 🤷🏻♀️)
Update: CLOSED
❤️🔥 FLASH FUNDRAISER FOR MUTUAL AID ❤️🔥
My birthday is tomorrow and I’m continuing the tradition of hosting a flash fundraiser in my shop (in lieu of a sale). 100% of profits store wide (excluding pre-designated fundraiser items) will be donated to the @goodneighborsunited general mutual aid fund. The fund supports families and vendors affected by 🧊 in the Hawthorne and LA areas.
DETAILS:
- Wed 8/20, 12:00am - 11:59pm PST
- storewide (excluding designated fundraiser items)
- p.s. I’m bringing back the persimmon bandana so you can preorder now
Yes, I could’ve designed a graphic for this. But I’m not about to give the robot overlords more of my work and my dog is more popular anyways. 🤷🏻♀️ Please help me spread the word!
ALSO, I’ll be vending with @goodneighborsunited at midnightbooksla this Saturday evening, 8/23. 100% of ticket proceeds and 20% of my proceeds will be donated to the general fund for families and vendors.
Debuting my first lil zine. First of many to come.
These will be available in my shop later today and at @mayumi_market this Sunday on 5/18. Hope to see your beautiful masked faces!
I’ve decided to stop pouring labor into carousels for this trash app. My long-form artist ass will instead be pouring into zines. I’m tired of trying to squeeze my imagination into arbitrary word counts and shareable aspect ratios. Dancing around the fash censorship tactics is also depleting my battery. And lastly, I don’t want to continue feeding the AI monster that’s cooking the planet and my livelihood as an artist.
I will be posting more of my regular content on my Patreon and focusing on my newsletter.
👉 Comment CONNECTED and I’ll DM you the links for my patreon and newsletter.
Sending out prayers for longevity and nourishment to the organizers, revolutionaries, dreamers, and comrades. 🍜🫰🏼 Everything feels overwhelming right now, but look for the people doing the work. They are the ones I believe in—the ones who remind me we’re not alone, despite what the system wants us to think.
If yall are in Oregon, come see me at @legendarymakersmarket this weekend in Beaverton, OR. July 12-13 from 1-9pm.
Wear a mask, I beg. As usual, I’ll have free KN95 masks (while supplies last), solidarity stickers, Chinese candy, and dog treats.
