I support the nj transit strikes, those workers deserve so much better.

I am so lucky to try to figure things out.

We’re at the historic Riverside Church to rally New York City’s tenant majority with a simple but powerful demand: freeze the rent.

doing long term creative projects requires knowing when you need to step back for a moment to breathe

nothing quite like chewing on a drawing utensil

It is critical to keep reminding everyone that a better world is possible. Not magically easy, but possible, and worth it.

Ben of Ben & Jerry’s *arrested* after confronting RFK Jr. & Congress: "They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids! Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza, and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US!"

Every day is a new day to try and convince yourself you’re going to be okay.

can’t the brain just chill

Every piece of early Pikachu art is a blessing on this imperfect world

The library is literally my safe space

ok real quick before I go: you should eat french toast if you haven't in a long time. you won't regret it

reasons why i need a cat:: one: this all the other ones: this too

The moment you meet another incredibly skilled creative person and you point at each other saying "I could never do what you do."

It disgusts me that some people completely reduce trans people in such demoralizing ways. My time with my trans friends can be so gentle, quiet, and beautiful. Our love between us and other communities is everything. I want a world where it isn’t completely twisted and misunderstood.

I love to tail high five my cat with my foot

Creating IS frustrating, it's amazing, makes you want to cross out every sketch or word, then stare at it in awe for hours. Be bad at things. You'll get better and find community. A written work or art piece with its author's experiences, emotions and meaning behind it is powerful and engaging.

If we choose to stay silent and conform due to fear of hate and being uncomfortable, the world will not change.

Something to remind you It's a world worth saving

I’m pulling so hard, just need to keep going.

trying to sculpt wire mesh is like taking your skin to a fucking cheese grater oml (I should be wearing gloves but alas)

Thousands marched yesterday to commemorate May Day, demanding fair wages, protections for immigrant workers and denouncing President Trump’s agenda. buff.ly/0oLxNJ3

by the way, you're not doing nothing. Slow creative days happen. Rough days happen. Believe me, I get it. But staring at your WIP, visualizing, adding a note for later, hell even just italicizing a single word. that shit counts. it's something. you're making an effort. that's never nothing.

love to make america great again by essentially expelling the people that enrich our children’s lives

i went to the library for the first time in a while and borrowed Way more books than i'll be able to read lol. i completely forgot you can just go inside a building and be engulfed in unfathomable amounts of knowledge from places you can't even imagine. IT WAS SO EXCITING

today I leaned that I am so loved and have come so far. still so much work to do and I’ll keep trying. thank you to so many that have gotten me here.

I'm at the library and I love it. You should go to the library.

Thank you thank you thank you one and all. We're going to take back the night, the day, the polls the voting booths, the government, all of it, because you came out and participated. Thank you

THIS THIS THIS

Love your friends. Unashamedly love your friends. Go for little walks. Do lunch. Go for coffee. Make spontaneous plans. Head to the pub. Phone them for five hours straight. Text them the things that make you think of them. Humans are full of so much love, share it with as many people as you can.

that's all

be proud of the efforts you’ve made even if they don’t pan out🤞🏼
