Breaking from the dark world, I went out dancing with friends last night. I didn't know how much I needed to feel safe and move my body with others. What a night 🥰 Came home to a mostly full moon! What a delight to look up and enjoy amidst the darkness. #fullmoon #lunarhalo #livewhilewerealive

"The world isn’t ending. A world is ending. Our job is to midwife the next one."

To my pale fam, friends, and community - I didn't want this for y'all either, but this is the truth. Y'all can have your "come to Jesus moment", but please don't behave like this mess is in any way new for folx of color. Thank you, A very tired, old, multiracial woman just trying to create

I love everything about this work of art. Thank you @retquits.art for sharing this powerful AF piece #art is #resistance is #life #FuckICE

Every day, I feel embarrassed about the mad king that’s ruining our country and our alliances in the world.

Stretching into this frosty day and wishing I could feel as carefree as this lil #fairy statue looks. It's convinced me to sit outside and just breathe for a bit. The birds are singing. The sun is out. I have coffee. Life IS hard... But life is good. #gardenview #frost #breathe #littlethings

This sums up how I feel about the news today. #MLKDay #DrKingJr #FuckIce

Can someone just wake me up after the world has redistributed the ill-gotten wealth of the oligarchs? Or better yet, done away with money altogether? Most #Americans really don't get it. #Oligarchs are robbing us blind and casting a wider net for slavery within their refined systems.

She's tired of the nonsense too, but so darn cute. #caturday

I made a thing. Please share to boost the signal of mutual aid orgs on the ground in Minneapolis.

Found this while visiting my old FB because bsky is depressing and this reminder of simpler times made me chuckle in my sinus headache despair of current times. Just a reminder this shit ain't new - just WORSE.

If you know of any remote work please post it under this thread. Black women are losing jobs at alarming rates and it would be nice to pass along.

Dear #governmentworkers departing/fleeing the garbage: Please apply your skills in your #communities. You are still needed. It's not enough to remove yourself from the seats of relative power you had. Now it's time to bring your strength to the people more directly. PS - mind the power vacuum

If those in power don't abide by the law, why should any of us? 🤔 I'm grateful I have a conscience, but damn. #existential #ethics #sinusheadachebrain

Urgent question from my sick couch: Where is this generation's #BobRoss??? I'm watching him for the first time in years - REALLY watching and listening - and just want to cry in the overwhelming comfort of his energy. 🥹

I'm so old that I went into a flow state for stretching and popped my hip so intensely I had to sit for five minutes sounding like Peter from Family Guy. #40slife #ouch #selfcare hurts sometimes

Trust the process and embrace the "mistakes" as *critical learning* times.

This is giving me some hope in the world while I recover from a sinus infection.

We can only hope the current President could just be 'leaving soon' 😒 The sandwich of movies around it tho...

US Gestapo has been murdering & disappearing folks for a while now... But at least the video of an innocent, pale, femme, US citizen being shot in cold blood got everyone's attention. The people of America have little to no power unless we are unified. No one changes unless it hurts bad enough. 😞

Here's another terrifying reason we need to clean up and curb #plastic use to essentials only y'all.

I just wrapped a helluva workshop theater show today. I did not expect second billing... but there I was sharing the heart of #art and #community through a dream role I'm blessed to originate. That magic cannot be replaced by any computer. Human sharing and vulnerability transcends all.

Sooo by his own rules... Could someone come and just grab up the orange monster? We've all seen his cankles. He ain't running fast or far if surprised.

Y'all.... I've been accidentally intermittent fasting through a theatre production.. and this might just be the way.

I was gifted henna for my character in a show for this weekend! 🥹 I'm just in humbled awe.

Time to move into the new year with all of the reflections & intentions from #Kwanzaa in #Imani - #faith Happy New Year!

Habari Gani? It's day 6 of #Kwanzaa (my favorite day)! #Kuumba : #Creativity There's a focus for me here that goes beyond creating art. The Hawaiian concept of #pono is woven into my creativity this year - creating with intention & balance in alignment. What will you create next year?

Who agrees? ✋

✊🏽

Habari Gani? Today is day 5 of #Kwanzaa! The focus of today is Nia: #Purpose. I challenge everyone to think about how you engage with the community around you for collective growth. What do you bring to the table of #community?

Habari gani? It's day 4 of #Kwanzaa! Meaning it's time to reflect and take action in the #cooperativeeconomics our community needs to be strong together. Find you some Black owned businesses to visit and spend your scratch there today (if you can)! You can start here: www.buyblack.org

Missed the first day of #Kwanzaa but wanted to share the first three daily reminders of this lovely reflective week. I designed these to help me focus and start conversations along these lines in my home. #Umoja #Kujichagulia #Ujima

#Kindness - saving one person's world at a time

#HappyHolidays ya cutesy #animals!

What's a song that got you through a hard time? I'll go first: youtu.be/7wZkbRJq6wk?... #PeterGabriel #IGrieve #music #songsthatsave

#Colbert will always be a national treasure. youtu.be/XkEy_IttHKE?...

There. I decorated. #AlwaysHalloween #SkellyHolidays

The truth is out there, despite the obvious & childish attempts to misinform or ignore. The real question is, WHAT WILL BE DONE ABOUT THE DISGUSTING TRUTH? The corruption is obvious & rampant at the highest levels of our government. How can THE PEOPLE hold these criminals accountable? I'm tired.

"It’s just really important that kids can continue to feel like it’s okay to be fluid, to continue to explore." I encourage people of all ages to continue exploring, keep emerging, keep going and knowing it's ok to be human in all forms.

My loving partner letting our #grandkitty lay across him like a scarf made my day. #Caturday came early

#JimCrow never ended y'all, it just changed masks

Whatever you do, Keep #hope alive. We can do better.

I'm really happy with how this is turning out!! I'm playing with gouache paint for the first time & lurving its versatility. The world is dark, but there is light in unlikely places. #MermaidArt #WiP #gouache #paint

Get involved in something. However small, It matters.

Preach!

The overwhelm is so real right now... The winter grey has me in a MOOD... But I'm gonna get up off my ass and get to it.

Perfectly stating something I've been watching for decades as well... ☕ Undermining the power of the people has been at play far longer than many want to think... This is just one major example. #gerrymandering #redistricting

How many #dystopian #fiction stories have crept into reality so far? - 1984 - Fahrenheit 451 - Terminator - Wall-E What else? #booksky #movies

Every merger slays the original creative genius that made the whole venture worthwhile in the first place while decimating the workforce & morale... I'm sick of late stage capitalism.
