The reason a lot of white people can operate in the privilege of a comment like βwe used to be able to have dissenting opinions & now they break friendshipsβ is because the people of color in the room had to be silent in order to remain in the room safely.

I think whatβs most frustrating right now for Black and Indigneous people is waiting for the bulk of white folks to catch up.
At some point the βthis isnβt who we areβ and βI didnβt have this on my bingo cardβ has to end and yβall will catch up, right? RIGHT?
WE NEED YOU TO CATCH UP.

Little Free Anti-ICE Libraries: yesterday multiple people were abducted by ICE in my Chicago neighborhood (Avondale). This morning I added 40 ICE alert whistles to three different LFLs, including one box that is about a block from one of the kidnappings. I have ordered 700 whistles.

Original seascape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "We Met Along the Way" 14"x11" oil on Ampersand Gessobord (2025). A seascape painting with a gray-blue sky with textured, atmospheric cloud formations over a dark blue sea. Waves are meeting a rocky shore, and there are hints of green moss or algae on the rocks.
I shared some thoughts about how my new series of seascape paintings, Moments Along the Way, came to be over on my blog:
