With Handmaids Tale people focus on the shock of the mass rapes in the book and the show. But how the regime came to be in power in that book keeps me awake at night because it is playing out in very intricate detail in our real lives right now.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

"Rewiring the Circuitry of Democracy" 90x90cm Right now I am experiencing anger/rage, profound sadness, and excessive fear, but I am also feeling renewed strength. Or is it new? The last few weeks, but even more so, the last few days have been devastating. We cannot allow greed and evil win.

Even in the dark of "winter" (figuratively and literally), I have tried to find some light. Orange, even when it is in rusted objects that have been left in the elements over time, reminds me of warmth. It may be a reach, but I'm trying. "Petal to the metal"100x100cm, "Mine mined mind" 80x80cm

Remember. It’s never: We fight for (these people) because maybe we’re more at risk if we don’t. No more Niemölling. We fight because they are coming for anyone. Every single person matters. Each and every human being’s life and safety is worth the fight.
