If we really put the welfare and well-being of children—ALL CHILDREN—first, it would be the first time we’ve ever done such a thing. And it would change everything.

This is why I talk (A LOT) about children’s personhood, children’s rights, caring for them, and how we choose to set examples. I’m not some bleeding heart. I am convinced that that’s the only way to see true long-lasting progress, the likes of which has never been seen in human history.

Abusers lie to our faces not because they even believe their own lies, they lie because the point is they are stronger than us and their version of truth wins.

We must give them our silence: Six Women Artists, Zona Maco 2025
What happens if we carry on as before, turn away, and take control with our indifference?

Commission your friends for art. Give them dollars (this makes them happy) in exchange for drawing you like (this makes you happy). This is symbiosis. This is a healthy ecosystem.
Support your friends. Support art. Support your friends' art.

I’m watching season 3 of #ADifferentWorld. A flight attendant just told Whitley “why don’t you let me check your bag for you?” And she replied “why don’t you beautify America and floss your teeth?”
