A dance break for finishing yesterday’s painting 🌟

The way this appeared on my feed as I am on the toilet after a few sips of my morning HK milk tea 👁️💩👁️

BALLAD FOR BLACK CASSANDRA was a new type of personal project for me that I'm still very fond of. You can read it for free in this thread:

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

I wanted to dress comfortable and casual and embrace the Orie vibes for today 🌊🐟

Kingdom Come Deliverance but they're Animal Crossing villagers ✨

A giant woman half embedded in a wall with snakes for hair and also a giant snake for an arm. She is saying "Thank you for saving me. Are you OK?"

Anyway this is the look I'm aiming for

Small post card sized painting made with paint markers. There is a black bird in the middle with beige, red and white details. The bird is walking fast toward something on the left side. There are more red and beige details in otherwise white the background in a floral form.

One step at a time!

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

momentary exception to not posting to amplify how beautiful & powerful this Providence protest is #ICEout

Y'all, it matters that journalists are being arrested on US soil for existing as journalists. Remember when we told y'all fascist regimes look a particular way. This is that.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.

But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

Don Lemon is one of FOUR Black journalists arrested.
This is fascism.

I’m going to be shutting my shop down for the day and providing links to places where you can put your money instead.

Do what you can, keep pushing

and it always sounds like SHIT

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained.

Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

Just one night of moonlight

Ms. Shirley dedicated her life to serving others and made an immeasurable impact on homeless communities throughout Los Angeles and Nevada. Through her tireless advocacy, deep compassion, and unwavering commitment, she used her powerful media platform to amplify the voices of those in need 🙏🏾

a little lineup of weird little guys, starting on the left with a pile of yellow dirt in a wheelbarrow with an unhappy face. Then a pair of legs in boots and orange trowsers topped by a sac filled with eyes, punctured by 3 arrows. after that is a figure with one enormous sculptural eye in place of a head wearing a lightly armoured yellow sundress. finally we have a rotund little fellow with noodly limbs, and a head that is a length of flaccid piping, one of it's hands is a morning star.

here's the lot of them so far. probably destined to be a set of stickers I think!
