The utter joy of so roughly blocking out your painting, and someone looking at it and immediately correctly identifying what you're #painting. πŸ₯²

Been doing daily #watercolour for about 3 months now.

My friend just asked if I'd do a design for her #tattoo! I am both honoured and terrified πŸ˜…

we joke around about Woke 2, but in all seriousness, Woke 2 is going to be a righteous fire

Mamdani's Executive Order Number 1, as described in the post.

Mamdani's Executive Order Number 1, as described in the post.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.

He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

Met w my psych yesterday. Was proud to tell her my #MentalHealth is improving as, in my down time I'm staring at my phone less & doing more creative stuff again

I started watercolouring. I'm not good, but I'm learning & having fun. It's deeply meditative. Here's a few snippets from my 1st journal

To mark Disability History Month, explore how women’s experiences have shaped disability history and why they must be counted.

Read Dr Coreen McGuire’s article for the Women’s History Network:

Science e-Books - NASA Science From Earth and the other planets in our solar system, to supermassive black holes and the distant galaxies that contain them, explore NASA science and imagery through our library of e-books.

Today I learned that NASA has a collection of free ebooks that can be downloaded as pdfs or ebub format.

The science books even include a children’s section with fun activites and coloring books!

Today & every day, I am thankful for the wonderful people in my life. And I'm SO grateful for our elected officials who care more about the people of this state (like me!), doing the right thing, standing by their values than making things easy for themselves or "not looking bad."

Being told, "I am astounded you've dealt w this for years. I'd last maybe a day w this sort of thing. You're incredibly resilient, & I deeply appreciate your dedication to this work" nearly brought tears to my eyes after years of a N*zi and sympathizers telling me how much of a useless waste I am.

The question "wait, they're doing this publically? And no one is doing, saying anything about it?" also was affirming, because RIGHT?! I'VE BEEN SAYING!

After a particularly heinous incident, I had a brain-smart & reached out to my guys, Reps. Nick & Mike, & shit is being ADDRESSED! πŸ™Œ

Even more, just having someone call & be flabbergasted, outraged on my behalf that this was happening meant so much.

We share advocacy spaces, if you can believe it, and are on a legislated council together. I have reached out to legislators about this over the course of years, and nothing has been done. One even told me I needed to "accept diversity" πŸ™ƒ (she's a republican who didn't get relected, lolol).

I can't say too much since attys are now involved, but for the past several yrs I've been dealing w public abuse/harassment from a person (white supremacist), w support from his besties & pushback from v few. Transphobic rhetoric, lateral #ableism, spreading lies, gen hatefulness. It's exhausting.

There are many things I love about the collaboration between @stoningtonpride.bsky.social and Bank Square Books. One of them is finding amazing new books after events 😁

Thanks to Devyn for sharing from this one (resulting in my purchase) at our Trans Day of Remembrance poetry open mic & vigil. πŸ–€πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ

Rest is resistance when you're trapped under the tyranny of ableism.
