Reminder that calling what these grown ass men are doing as being “catty” or saying “the girls are fighting” is just propping up the patriarchy.

Hello everyone. It’s #kidlitartpostcard day! I’m Ruth Johnson, an illustrator with a love for all things spooky or magical. I would love to work on things including animals, nature, or old places. You can find my portfolio at www.ruthjohnson.net #kidlitart #illustration

Gorgeous!!!

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

So glad men aren’t emotional or irrational or reactive the way a woman leader would be 🫠☠️😭

Hey, remember when Trump told a room of Big Oil CEOs he'd make all their wildest dreams of climate denial come true...for $1B in campaign cash? Now the White House war on the environment is the Trump corruption scandal we don't talk about nearly enough My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Yes PLEASE

As both a parent of school-aged children and someone who works in school, it's officially the season to look at the calendar and panic shout "It's already [insert date here]?!?!"

The world is burning But also What’s for dinner? (This might become an unfortunate series 😭)

Case. In. Point:

It really is this simple. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Chicago is currently just a city of people texting their group chats speculating about where the pope has and hasn’t eaten (and I, for one, hope Rainbow Cone is on that list)

Trimmed myself a little treat to take to work this morning 💜

Transitioning from that stage in my work in progress of “this is brilliant” to “this is actually the worst idea any human has ever had.” Thoughts and prayers appreciated.

I went jogging today and it was bearable! Please clap.

Grieve But also The laundry Still needs To be done

Rewilding projects EVERYWHERE, soley so I can go birdwatching in cool places. Outbid rich people when they try to land grab, and then ban them from the property just to piss them off. Start a fully funded project to domesticate ravens because I think that would be cool.
