Civil Rights Lawyer Bryan Stevenson on How America’s Story Should Be Told

"kidnapping 13 million people is a crime. It was a crime in the 15th century. We’re talking about crime victims who weren’t just victimized for a day; they were victimized their whole lives...

We dishonor those who came before us if in this moment of crisis we remain silent"

- Bryan Stevenson 🎁

i had the stinking realization it’s been almost or around 7 months of not having you in my daily life since leaving fb. i send love daily to yous through the ether and also the squishy is turning double digits. the second so odd, yet true.

sadly very relatable and as Matt said having gone through this over the decades this time does feel different. you’re not alone in these feelings and how hard and exhausting it is. i feel not losing our voices matters even when we can’t see why. yours reached me when i needed it ❀️

An image of a California Grizzly holding her children, surrounded by california poppies. The text reads CHINGA LA MIGRA, ICE OUT OF LA. chinga la migra translates, more or less, to FUCK ICE.

a scribbled and crosshatched drawing of a person appearing to wear a large coat, mittens and scarf staring non plussed with small flowers framing their head. a small cat or dog creature is sitting at their feet.

my child yelled β€œit’s a tree man!” upon seeing this. it’s an inked scribble drawing of a person that i suppose could be seen as tree shaped.

an ink scribbled drawing of an odd creature with very thin legs and arms. there are three flowers near it, but one is missing its top and the creature looks like it may be the culprit for appearing to be grabbing one of the others.

a very scribbled, cruddy pastel drawing on thin black paper of a human that might be waving. my child said he thinks it’s walking out of a cave because of the scribbles in the background.

a difficult to describe scribble creature made with sharpie on cardboard backing. it has a bushy tail and is just sitting there.

Hodge wanted me to art in tandem, so i made these using crayons & cruddy pastels. i find kids art supplies to be difficult to use, flimsy & frustrating. we decided we’ll stick to quality materials. i made a sharpie sketch to shake it off. he went back to building object stories all around the house.

#MerMay
i’m not certain i’ve ever done one before. it may be debatable if this is. the other e looked at it and said, β€œSo, you think a mermaid is just a fish?”
i replied, β€œyes. delirious sailors telling a tale to justify awkward, intimate hallucinations.”
