For no reason at all, here are some poems about war, destruction, and how awful humans can be, from my poetry collection MEXICANS ON THE MOON. 🙂 Much love to all.

Working on earrings this weekend 💗😊

"OK I hate to be a dumbass, but are we officially at war? I mean, did we ever officially declare war?"

"Declare war? Who's got time to declare war when there are so many bombs to drop?"

As is right and proper

Ha! I had to argue with my all male professors in art school that traditional women’s textiles WERE art.

If I had to list the dangers facing American citizens, I would put gender reveal parties higher than Iran.

Here’s some Jolene Lai art to make your Saturday a little better.

People often want to look at our past traumas to understand our stressors and not acknowledge that those of us with lived experience of the truly horrific may be accurately forecasting the future and ringing an alarm with our bodies, minds, actions that some describe as “too much”

Hey, sewists!! You are needed.

And of course I’m flying on Wednesday 🫠

Since I can’t sleep, here’s another hot take: The world would be a better place if everyone‘s science literacy was much better. There should be more emphasis on teaching basic science at all levels in school. Science isn’t just something nerds do, it’s the foundation of the modern world.

Hailey is working on creating Brazil's first transfeminism community among a lot of other heroic stuff. She's had to put it all on hold because her mom has cancer.

I'd be personally grateful if you could pitch in a few bucks. <3

If you're on Tidal, they've posted an excellent, two-hour Willie Colón playlist. What a great musical legacy he leaves behind.

Lydia’s art makes want to eat it and that’s the highest compliment I can give. 🥰🥰🥰

This is a much more meaningful and impactful way to honor the dead than “you should be forced to watch the snuff film of them being brutally murdered” that some of you insist upon.

This is beautiful and something we should all consider participating in regardless of belief system.

I loved it
