I wish I could properly explain to the world just how disorienting and disturbing it is to live in a country made up of 50 different countries (at least) being ruled by a cartoon drawing of a fascist whoβs being ruled by a handful of cartoon Nazi billionaires desperate to crash the economy for WW3

Nothing like being pushed from saying "I don't want to do X" to "I can't do X, I'm disabled" ... then STILL being pressured into doing it to really ruin your day.

I am still haunted by this poem, "The Myth Was Never The Unicorn," written by one of the teens who participated in the creative writing program at the museum this summer. A reminder that girls are always aware.
