KEEP CREATING! That’s what they don’t want. Art. Poetry. Songs. Theater. The arts are the most accessible way to reach the people and to vent your own feelings and thoughts on current events. That’s why the arts are ALWAYS the first to get defunded. Please please keep creating! The world needs it! ❤️

sometimes a library crafting session is just you, the host librarian, and both of your mothers. but that’s okay!!

anyway, here are the collages my mom and i made with some of the pictures from the plethora of albums we inherited 🌻

Authors for Immigrant Rights

We, the undersigned authors and illustrators, stand in solidarity with immigrants the nation over and refuse to accept these rampant constitutional abuses by ICE as the new norm. Immigrants are our parents, spouses, and friends. Immigrants are our communities. Many of us are immigrants ourselves. We are all deeply connected to this issue and want our voices heard on the matter. For the past decade, the publishing world has made laudable strides in the diversity and inclusion of immigrant stories. Publishers and booksellers have helped to foster spaces where readers can develop awareness and empathy for migrant rights and history; spaces where young readers can finally discover their own stories on the library shelf. The current administration is trying to tear this progress away. To publishers and booksellers: we call on you to continue your work. Stand behind your inclusive stories and marginalized authors, loudly and without hesitation. Help these stories reach the readers who need them most. To our readers: we ask that you join us in taking up small tasks to support the immigrants in our lives. Call your representatives and ask what they are doing to protect their communities from ICE overreach. Donate to local immigrant aid organizations. Get involved with your local library and school board and speak up for books centering marginalized perspectives. Let’s unite to write a new, better story for all the people in this country. Signed,

List of 130+ author and illustrator names.

Official statement on ICE cosigned by 130+ KidLit & YA authors and illustrators. We are calling on publishers to not preemptively censor themselves in the face of this current administration and to protect marginalized creators. 🧵

add yours!

I wanted them to kiss but somehow it turned out as comic again (part 1/2)

A fanart illustration of KK Slider (the white dog) from Animal Crossing laying in a hammock strung between two stylized palm trees. His eyes are closed as he serenely strums a guitar, a straw hat on his head, hibiscus bushes and seashells on the sand around him.

It sure is toasty out there. Stay cool, everyone ☀💦 #art #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #summer

two square canvases covered in acrylic paintings laying next to each other on a wooden surface. both have similar compositions, displaying brightly-colored overlapping sliced fruits, including a kiwi in the top right corner, an orange in the top left corner, and a watermelon in the bottom left corner. the left painting features the outer skin of a strawberry filling in the bottom right corner of the painting, while the painting on the right features small blueberries sitting on a red and white checkered picnic blanket.

idk if i have much more to share right now. here are some fruits my mom and i painted at the library a couple weeks ago! (mine is on the right 🍉)

- i’m like… trying to live? at least i care about it more than before. i show up for my appointments. i volunteer at a food pantry. i grocery shop for the house pretty regularly. i try to talk to my friends every once in awhile. progress is progress

- cut off my hair near the end of the hospice visit days. it’s been such a good change and i would like to keep it short for as long as i can
- made it back to the library for art days! went missing for ~4 months with health/grief stuff but clawed my way back
- therapy and community rehab is 👍🏻👍🏻

some updates, i guess??
- went through hell and back with different doctors to kinda just end up… with still little-to-no answers. luckily found a couple new doctors that genuinely care and want to get to the bottom of things.
- chronic pain has been more manageable since doing PT! it comes in waves

i think i went silent on here right around the time my grandma passed, from what it looks like. losing her left a cavernous hole, but i’ve been coming back to myself slowly over the past 6 months. grief takes and takes and takes.

oh! i’ve missed being on bsky! sorry for disappearing my friends 🫶🏻

Will the Supreme Court Put the State Ahead of Parents Rights? | Opinion It's not a tragedy that Catherine was born or that Sarah is a girl, but they met and meet tragic circumstances.

All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health and no one else
