Hi angels, will be giving these mini prints away entirely for free at Canzine on Sunday if you promise to wheatpaste (or just glue/stick) yours up in a public facing spot in your city 🍉. I’ll also have all of my regular zines for sale and a couple of prints. An important reminder that print media is historically radical, politics are not separate from our art. Not interested in debating genocide in the comments, through dm’s or in person at Canzine so kindly don’t bother 🤗

There’s a timelapse of nala and I doing sun salutations with @divyabala and I cannot recommend her videos to folks enough 🌞
🚨 EMERGENCY PRINTED MATTER FUNDRAISING DRIVE FOR RELIEF IN SOUTH LEBANON 🚨 Donate $5 or more between March 9 – March 18 to enter the fundraising drive for a chance to receive one of the listed items above – including prints, magazines, books, and more.
As of today, 454,000 people have been displaced from their homes in South Lebanon following relentless Israeli bombardment. For many residents this is the second or third time within the last two years for being displaced. Funds raised will go directly to mutual aid groups providing food, tents, hygiene products, baby formula and other essential supplies. We hope to raise as much funds as possible to send for immediate relief.

Hiya folks! A bunch of you have recently started following me so I figured it was time for a reintroduction 👋🏽
I’m Sonali, an artist and writer based in Hamilton, ON. I’m best know for my zines which I’ve been making for over a decade. My first book called ‘Depression Cooking feeding yourself when it all feels too hard’ will hit shelves this fall with @ecwpress . I started making comics last year when @oldjoeollmann said “hey why don’t you turn this into a comic?” You’ll notice from my stories that I’m a socialist who doesn’t support imperialism or genocide, or the crimes of capitalism 🕊️ I use my library card, cook for my friends and neighbours, and spend my day job as an arts adminitsrator with some freelance art on the side. I’m recovering from a long term concussion so have scaled back some of my work over the past year and am embracing slowness. I’m looking forward to when the snowdrops start blooming in a few weeks 🌸

Photo ID: Sonali, a brown woman with shoulder length black hair smiles with her chin resting on her clasped hands. A unibrow frames her eyes which are gazing to the left. A pothos plant is creeping behind her on the wall.
Figured I’d interrupt your doomscrolling with a moment from three years ago. Miraculously my indoor fig tree fruited and produced the most adorable (and sweet!) fig.

Here are the books I read this year in the order I read them. (Not pictured: the many books I started and didn’t finish, not posting cause I’m not that messy). What should I read next year? First up is A Kiss of Crimson Ash by @anuja_v out this spring 🌿

Everyone keeps asking me, so I’m gonna tell you: the manuscript for Depression Cooking is done ✌🏽 All major edits and drawings. Time for the good folks at @ecwpress to bring this book earthside for Fall 2026. Special thanks to my editor @jensookfonglee . My advice for writers working on their first book? Don’t get a concussion 🙃

We’re thrilled to invite you to Many Hands: a collaborative lunch.
Artists Nikhil and Sonali are cooking up a storm on Saturday November 15 from 12-2:30pm at the Art Gallery of Burlington @artgallburl You’re invited to roll and fry up some chapatis with us, then share a meal together in connection to @russnakaur exhibition ‘Been There Twice, Haven’t Gotten There Yet (the space between a thin screen, and prying eyes). We’ll be discussing our relationship to eating with our hands, and the connection to the improvisational quality of painting. From building up a bite of flavours to eat, to layering up a paintbrush with paint. Swipe to get a sneak peak of our menu and our family and pals cooking and sharing food with their hands. Register through the link in our bio. Sliding scale options available. Please reach out to us if cost is a barrier, we’d love to eat with you 🍚🫘🥭🍉
