August
The wobbly fan is singing
Some kind of code to me
Ah it’s August
Dot dot dit dot
Wind in the sails on the ceiling
Ah it’s August
Every crevice of my body reminding me

And female
Dot dot dit dit dit dit

Happy National Lipstick Day! What’s your favorite color?

Missouri Arts Council refused to allow Bread & Roses MO to apply for funds as it has done for past 10 yrs. At the behest of MO Lt. Governor & agency’s exec director, it’s suddenly not eligible. We are all vulnerable in these times in which the capricious powers-that-be feel particularly empowered.

This!

The Insomniac Diarist calls out to her fellows: Look out your window to the Blood Moon reflecting our broken, bleeding hearts. Let it be the catalyst to ignite the fierce fire of our fighting spirits. Nature in all its glorious forms will always eclipse the false powers of small and mortal men.

Friday=No Buy Day! Grassroots movement to abstain from shopping at major retailer Feb. 28 as part of an economic blackout. Send a clear message: We have the power. We don’t have to accept more tax cuts for billionaires. We don’t have to pay our money to Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg or any oligarchs.

Bread & Roses Missouri has fantastic teaching artists!
