Queer Legacies at the Intersection of Art & Nature May Morris and Mary Lobb
"In her time, May Morris fought for a world where art was woven into the fabric of everyday life - accessible, communal, and rooted in care."
"She teaches us that to imagine with our hands is to make new worlds possible. This is the spirit that animates Art that Breathes β a practice of remembering, of re- rooting, of making with and for the Earth."
Mayβs insistence that art is not a luxury feels like both a challenge and an invitation. It invites us to ask:
Who gets to make art?
Who gets to be seen as an artist?
Whose labor is visible, supported, honored?
Questions which feel deeply relevant today.

Itβs horrific that there are students who lived through Parkland and are now going through a second school shooting at FSU.
The government has failed our children. It doesnβt have to be this way.
Dear @captmarkkelly.bsky.social Why is it that you are undecided on how to vote on the SAVE act which disenfranchises millions of American Voters, largely women? Save act saves nothing but a repressive governmentβs attempts to hold on to illegal powers. I thought you were one of the good ones

please join me in the fight to save our libraries.
EveryLibrary is working hard to save the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which is the federal agency charged with distributing Congressionally approved funds to state libraries and grant recipients.
This is one of my fav paintings of that period. I find the scissors pointing towards the viewer so perfectly impolite

(next to an image of Susan Crawford) Congratulations JUDGE SUSAN CRAWFORD FOR WISCONSIN SUPREME COURT!
We just secured the liberal majority on Wisconsin's Supreme Court thru 2029! Susan Crawford's big win keeps the highest court in this battleground state from falling into MAGA hands. Thank you for all you did to elect this Indivisible-endorsed candidate (and make Elon Musk waste over $20 million)!

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are going after your Social Security.
Why?
So they can use the money you paid into Social Security to fund for tax cuts for billionaires and billionaire corporations.
I joined @booker.senate.gov on the floor to sound the alarm.

I've been studying surrealism, the history and the art. But what is more surreal than losing an entire country to a cult in about 2 months.
