Just gonna make this clear! You aren't taking from other people when you buy a mobility or disability aid. Use what you need when you need it. Every level of disability deserves support. For example, you wouldn't say you won't get glasses because others need it more.

Autistic people don't need to contribute to society to have value as humans. Disabled people don't need to contribute to society to have value as humans. People, generally, don't need to contribute to society to have value as humans. We are valuable just by being human.

“There has never been a time when you, or I, made art in a society that truly supports or values it, within a state that recognizes our needs and our full humanity … We are still here. We’re still showing up for each other … we have to be curious, and keep nurturing and expanding our imaginations”

What can I say? I'm obsessed with every moment of Frog and Toad by India Rose Crawford. The dancing in the kitchen and the contemplation at the easel really got me in my feels. Love this so much! #beautifulbizarre #contemporaryart #knitart #stopmotion #frogandtoad #art

today's new embroidery thing: wired shapes. I just used some floral wire I had on hand, which is going to be much too heavy for making dainty little dragonfly wings, but it's fine for a big practice project like this

We live in what has been an exceptionally stable country, but it's just been destabilized. In that instability is possibility--not to return to the world of January 19th, 2025, but to something other than this rampage of hate and destruction, this oligarchs against everything coup. If we seize it.

Hey. I know everything is on fire right now. I need you to stop, drop, and roll, for just a second. Take a real deep breath. Another, deeper this time. Let it sigh out of you like the grumble of winter slipping away. I know it's hard. But you are the beautiful thing in the midst of wreckage.
