You are grieving the death of a dream and the illusion of freedom.

Your grief and anger anger are valid and justified. And neccesary.

Do not avoid your feelings.

Make a compass of them.

I think the life of an artist is a constant journey between being deeply lonely and profoundly connected.

Thank you, friends, for your support and for your strong hands and gentle hearts, which have held me firm when I couldn't go on.
Every time.
Happy New Year.
With love,
Niki

And I thought
That danger
Was safety
Because my love language
Was fear

“Parents who, after consulting with a doctor and a psychologist, allow their 15-year-old child to transition commit child abuse. The child is too young to consent!”

--Megyn R. Kelly

“Grown men who have sex with your 15-year-old? Big whoop! It’s not like she’s 8. LOL!”

--Also Megyn R. Kelly

I just read the phrase 'Trumpanzee', and I can't stop laughing.

They will. 😊

I wish I got to attend more of them! (I went to 3 last year on a visit to the States). It would be so lovely to meet you x

Enjoying my digital break more than I expected :)

I started this piece a year ago, just before leaving SA for the biggest adventure evar, to visit America and experience the magic of The Dresden Dolls and their amazing community.

Goodbye, Jane.

You are the reason I fell in love with science. You and Tom Lehrer. It's been a hell of a year.

RIP Jane Goodall 1934 - 2025

It's almost as if the United States is built on an ancient Indian burial ground. Oh, wait. Never mind.

The cost of art,
is life.

The price of art,
is a rich man's game.

The true value of art,
can only be measured by the soul.

On a scale of 1 to not-at-fucking-all, how surprised are we that Facebork #banned this picture? I am actually quite surprised...no bewbs, no guava, no dingle....oh wait. A small voice referencing #GBV. That must be it.

Etymology of Ruin

The Etymology of Ruin
Through a glass darkly

2025

There are Days when the world
Breaks
Days where everything is one way yesterday,
and another way tomorrow.
Everything before, happened to a different me.
Everything after, quietly whispers a dissonant narrative.

Reactions to the Kirk shooting are, if nothing else, a stark revelation of the zeitgeist of conservative America. Why beat your breast and weep for this individual and ignore the ongoing massacre of children in US schools, in Gaza, in the Ukraine?
