This is an #artist account but here I will also share: #vegan things, my practice of #Buddhism (dharma name is Tender Diligence-Lâm Te Dyana school-plum village tradition. I have no opinion on the Dalai Lama) #nature so also #environmentalism and #poetry (of others)

Hey everyone, take good care of yourself today. You are worthy and I’m glad you’re here, and being worthy means taking care of your mental health: take your meds, drink water, and don’t feel obligated to watch someone else’s weird, shitty parade, alright?

I don’t think I can escape being a commodity in the eyes of those in power, but I do reject the mean-ness

What I’ll be up to today
