‪The reason many people have such a hard time in the face of disability is an internalized ableism we have to push away to accept that it’s possible for someone else to face barriers that we don't. That it's not a level playing field, and has nothing to do with hard work, dedication or determination

Hold up, did Parson Brown marry them in town so they could later perspire by the fire, without sin? 🤭

One of two paintings I was talked into doing consignment sale at a local art business (they now do group paintings and wine drinking sessions) it was never given back to me nor paid for. Never put your art anywhere without signing something to protect your work from getting ripped off.

The message diet culture sends to women is that the less of you there is, the more lovable you are. That’s disgusting.

MAGA keeps declaring that “illegals” do not deserve due process. So tell me this: If you are detained and you are a legal US citizen, how are you supposed to prove it if they deny you the due process to prove it?

If someone stops loving you because you gained or lost weight or got wrinkles and grey hair, they didn’t stop loving you because that wasn’t love, that was lust. Love doesn’t hinge on superficial conditions like your body size, shape, or appearance

from the tail end of my painting streak of 2020 ☮️💗

Head's up WA peeps. Thank you grumpy auntie for looking out for folks.

My super badass late uncle with my cousin, 1980. Dude was a deaf bank robber in his hey day but calmed down in his older age and took to gardening and cooking healthy foods ❤️

The funniest picture I took of my late Guinea pig, Herbert, 2016 🤍

I just want a homemade pie that I can lie down in, close my eyes and eat marionberries like they going outta style. You feel me?

Trump keeps saying the economy is great. He means his own economy is great. Since he returned to office his corruption and self-dealing has resulted in his wealth increasing by an estimated three billion. And we are only 10 months in. Most corrupt president ever.

Let’s get one thing straight. They’re laugh lines, not crows feet and there’s no reason you need to be ashamed by them

Don’t let their innocent looks fool you! #catsky

@gina-warren.bsky.social ❤️YOU! ❤️

when I’m feeling needy and no one will tickle my back

When I can paint, I paint all day everyday day but then, like now, I have extreme dry spells. For me it’s always all or nothing. These are just a few from my last painting spree in 2020 #artsky

Me: Am i the most annoying person that you know? Adam: Yes, but I don’t know very many people

Compilation of old abstract art oil paintings from 2010-2014 🤍

This was in a work in progress at the time, 2016, floral art painting. Another one that disappeared after my mom died

Are we still allowed to enjoy the Gangnam Style?

25 years ago I started a small art club and distributed paper coasters that I got from my favorite diner (I was a regular), so my whole platform was the idea that if Picasso doodled on a napkin, it would be priceless, so if you think about it, it doesn’t matter what medium or tools you’re using.

My son and my late dad’s birthdays’ are today. Dad would’ve been 72. My son had a great day celebrating at both my and his dad’s house. 😂 Awe the perks of having separated parents. 😆 Also, I can laugh about it cuz his dad and I get along swimmingly 💗🥳

When I learned how damaging the r word is to the disabled community I erased it from my vocabulary and that was 15 years ago AND I was late to the game. The POTUS should know better but he doesn’t know sh*t and has proven to be a piece of sh*t.

The description of my cats could be a bumper sticker. “Sharp claws, sharp teeth, short temper” 😆😻

In a court ordered wilderness survival camp for 56 days making fire without a lighter or matches. Year 1999-2000. My grandchildren won't be able to fathom how dearly I paid for smoking weed in the 20th century.

I finally took the gauze out enough to feel the holes with my tongue and he pulled the wrong teeth 😖😩🫥

I had two teeth extracted this morning. Looking forward to eating baby food for thanksgiving 😂

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

How is it that the richest person in the whole world and the biggest loser in the whole world are the same person? 😭🥲

Hope 🙌🏽✨

When I get high blood sugar I have to take a nap. I went to do that earlier and in the meantime Adam went to bed. I woke up a little later, now put in the living room, Adam called to me “Sarah, are you ok?”

That darn cat!

Freestyle art, embroidery and felt, 2019

When I was 4 or 5 I had a matching set of underwear and tank top that I thought looked like a bathing suit. I remember playing in the front yard when my neighbor lady came out to chat and said “I see you have your panties on today” and I was mortified that I wasn’t fooling anyone.

To focus on the disabled person having to put in a huge amount of work to get through obstacles that have been put in their way takes the onus away from the abled community to remove those barriers. - Paraphrasing Lea Volpe: 'Why are you calling me inspirational?'

I started laughing a lot more, and having a lot more silly fun once I stopped following all the “too cool for that” rules I’d unwittingly built up in my teens and twenties. Sh*t just like what you like and let others do the same✨
