I don’t know how women are able to resist this stunning piece of man meat. 🔥🔥

Vintage wallpaper, silk scraps, found objects. #analogcollage #collageart #vermontartist

Trump's federal funding cuts are shutting down a range of studies — all because they focus on gender. For @19thnews.org, @shefali.bsky.social and I looked at the implications for the decades-long effort to better study the health of women and queer people: 19thnews.org/2025/03/wome...

One more hit to children and farmers 🤬

Even your location matters.

Because a little joy and a little color keep us going in the darkness. Mid-city, New Orleans, Monday morning 💜💚💛

Street shot (New Orleans)

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency is seeking access to data systems within the Internal Revenue Service that house personal taxpayer information

The very young, the ill and disabled, the elderly are all expendable because they are not the worker bees needed to support the lifestyles of the wealthy.

At a time of massive income & wealth inequality, Republicans in Congress just introduced a budget to provide trillions in tax breaks to the wealthy, paid for by massive cuts to Medicaid that will throw millions of kids off health care & seniors out of nursing homes. Unacceptable.

Senate Democrats launched a new portal for federal employees to blow the whistle on illegal or illicit activities being done in the federal government under the purview of Donald Trump, Elon Musk, or DOGE.

The hardest part about public health is that when we succeed, there's no crisis, no epidemic. People carry on with daily life, unaware of a near-miss. We may never know how bad it could have been - because our public health workforce is always taking action to avoid, prevent, and control threats.

17.5 million dollars divided by 100 people, could really make a positive change instead of this cruelty. What are we even doing.

Not the best lighting, but piece #2 in my vintage wallpaper series inspired by the resilient plants that grow through cracks in walls in New Orleans. Street trash, found objects, broken jewelry, torn silk.

My phone chose to share this with me on this very snowy day, so I’m passing it on to whoever needs to see it today. From 2018, apparently. Not at all sure where I was when I shot it 😏
