Hello, how are you doing? Ming and I tabled zines at a transgender day of remembrance, here where we live now in Oregon. Wow, it was intense. We make little altars wherever we go. The only one who can protect me from sliding to death in my grief is the Mother of God. I held… Read More »
Hello, I love art, including music and musical instruments. Especially traditional musical instruments that have become obscure. Nyckelharpa is an instrument our respected friends Toby and Fred play. It’s a traditional Swedish instrument that has special dances that go along with the songs. Toby told us that the different villages have their own songs and… Read More »
Hello, how are you doing? I painted this deep respect cub care jaguar. Thought you might like to see it. Deep respect cub care jaguar is craft paint on reclaimed product packaging card stock. It’s based on a photo of a sculpture I saw online. In the sculpture photo, I can see the Jaguar is… Read More »
My feelings are valid, but that’s a newish realization. I didn’t always know that. I was looking at this art meme by western_nectar, feeling emotions roll around inside me. “You’ve got a lot of nerve not living up to the version of you in my head,” the hot lady says. She is Black and thin,… Read More »
This is my new pink affirmations video. Thank you to Ming for videographing. Sweetheart, your help really helped. Unfortunately, the camera on my phone is pretty bad. The picture jumps annoyingly! But I think the sound is ok, and the love is true. Maybe one day I’ll have better equipment. Meanwhile, here’s what we got. … Read More »
“Why are you sad?” Ming asked. We were pulled over by this off-roading area where people ride dirt bikes and dune buggies. But they were far away and not too loud. It was a good place to have an emotional breakdown. “I don’t know–am I sad?” I asked. I was crying with my whole body,… Read More »
Ming is so good at caring for me. Best spouse ever! He listens, reads all my writing, enjoys my art. I love how he cleans the kitchen at night so I can cook delicious foods all day. Zero guilt tripping, zero passive aggressive fuckery. I’ve definitely been partnered with people who were manipulative and had… Read More »
Hey, gmorning. I was thinking more about power and emotions. I think about power a lot–who has it, who has less, how it got that way. But mostly where to go from here. I see power relations under the surface everywhere, mostly not spoken about, but controlling much of what we do. Performances of respect,… Read More »
I thought of a way to do creative self-harm. I was flossing the other day–I’d been worried about my mouth health. It’d been a while since I flossed, and I decided to give it a try. I talked kindly to myself, like–You can just floss part of your mouth, and then you can floss the… Read More »
Protein helps me feel more resilient. My moods get less all over the place. So I’m trying to eat more protein, but that isn’t always easy. I’m mostly a vegetarian and gravitate toward carbs, fats, and veg. I don’t like protein powder–I would rather eat more what feels like real food. Not to be rude… Read More »
