#KaleidoSaturday Kaleidoscope Fireworks

#KaleidoSaturday It's been 181 days since I joined Rednote and started posting collections of Kaleidoscope images made from my photos. Wonder how long this current obsession of mine will last.

$300 received, thank you SO much. This gets me much closer- now at $565! I need $135 to reach rent by 8PM. Ten folks sending $15 would get me there. Can anyone please chip in? And please keep spreading my requests?

Feeling dishonest every time I say "my parents", but saying "my adoptive parents" can distract people from the point I'm trying to make. #adopteelife #adoptee

Saw this new illustration from Sandy Boyten and to me it encapsulates how it feels when people expect me to be grateful for being adopted. 🥚

What magic do I have to perform to be included on the Adoptees of Bluesky feed. #adoptee

Kaleidoscopic images made from a sunset silhouette photo I took. I have thousands of images back from when I took photos daily of anything and everything except humans. I miss those days.

At the very historical moment when reformers sought to end the status of children as chattel to perform *physical* labor for bosses, a market exploded for children as chattel to perform *emotional* labor for adopters. 🥚

#Adoption is a job description. "To buy an infant's smiles and tenderness." We are bought with the expectation that we will perform in some predetermined way, like any consumer product. Adoption's transactional and performative. With the transaction often conditional upon our performance. 🥚

Got started making kaleidoscope images from old photos of mine and I can't stop.

Fireworks at 7am?
