Hey little sister...

3 very basic rules of metalsmithing:
1. Don't stick hand in a torch flame
2. Do not pick up hot metal w/o gloves.
3. If you are going to hit your hand with a hammer, make sure it is a rawhide mallet

Broke number # 3 today. Reminds me of my undergrad days in the metalsmithing studio... 😬🫤

These people work themselves to the bone so we can have food to eat, and this is what our government is doing to them in return.

This makes me beyond angry and sad. Every farm worker has done infinitely more for this country than the entirety of ICE ever could.

Received the Summer issue of Fiber Art Now.
Look what I found within it...

"No artist should have to share his work to be thought capable of that work. No person should have to prove their potential for it to be respected. No human being should have to prove their humanity."

One big problem now is that, despite Trump's clearly illegal actions, there are also laws passed by Congress and many previous court decisions in which these two branches have ducked their own constitutional obligations, entrenching a vision of the presidency aligned with what's happening today.

(1852) Frederick Douglass, "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth Of July" Explore the speech "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth Of July" delivered by Frederick Douglass in 1852, including full text and historical context.

Every 4th of July, I take the time to read "What, to the Slave, is the Fourth of July." Let us begin:

"I say it with a sad sense of the disparity between us. I am not included within the pale of this glorious anniversary! Your high independence only reveals the immeasurable distance between us."

Americans are so easily hoodwinked by the sanctity of law and authority. In fact, the pattern of life has become standardized, routinized, and mechanized like canned food and Sunday sermons. Even songs are turned out like buttons or automobile tires—all cast from the same mold.

-Emma Goldman, 1934

We Americans claim to be a peace-loving people. We hate bloodshed; we are opposed to violence. Yet we go into spasms of joy over the possibility of projecting dynamite bombs from flying machines upon helpless citizens. We are ready to hang, electrocute, or lynch anyone, who, from economic necessity, will risk his own life in the attempt upon that of some industrial magnate. Yet our hearts swell with pride at the thought that America is becoming the most powerful nation on earth, and that she will eventually plant her iron foot on the necks of all other nations.

Emma Goldman, 1908

Reframed headline. Justice Ketanji Brown Advocates for Democracy Jackson Prompting a Rebuke In solo dissents this term, the justice accused the conservative majority of lawless bias. On the term's last day, Justice Amy Coney Barrett fired back.

The @nytimes.com Healy-Ryan Mamdani ethnicity story is important + illustrates NYT biases.

Today NYT runs a piece that is an affront to Justice Brown Jackson, American democracy and the rule-of-law.

Has anyone at NYT noticed any issues or problems w/SCOTUS lately?

Pussy Riot’s founder built a ‘police state’ in an LA art gallery. Then the national guard arrived Nadya Tolokonnikova tells the Guardian she felt she had ‘entered a wormhole’ when her police state exhibition was shut down – by the police state

“Police State Exhibit Closed Today Due to the Police State,” she posted on Instagram.

The situation “felt like I had entered a wormhole,” ... It felt important, she wrote, “not to bend to the whims of Ice or the national guard”.
