this is actually really something. The NY Times stuff is bonkers.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

The cheapest plan available to me (a Georgian) is over $1,000 a month. Healthcare is no longer an option for me. I will ration the medication I take for as long as I can and then I will wait to die.

Black folks, pay attention.
You’re about to see the media attempting to isolate and spotlight us when talking about SNAP strategically. They will try to create the narrative that “only Black people are on government assistance.” Even though the data says otherwise. 👇🏾

The Breath of Life travels through dreamscapes and guides our inner voice to a place of rest. They beckon us to reconnect to our bodies through inhalation and exhalation.

A dark skinned African figure holds two fans made of white fabric and moth wings. They wear an all white set with cowrie shell adornments, along with a wave cap that blows in the wind. Behind them is a dreamscape of hills, buildings, clouds, dust particles, and white glowing moths flying through the dreamscape. The Breath of Life travels through dreamscapes and peacefully guides our inner voice to a place of calm and rest. They use their fans as conduits of inhaling, exhaling, filtering, and literally giving yourself life. The Breath of Life beckons us to pause and invite moments of ease through an act as natural as breathing.

A series of mixed media drawings on photography prints inspired by nzu rituals. Available as prints and the original sketches up at my shop

A photo of Odera holding a kpokokpoko, a rattle used for rituals and herbalist and sacred ceremonies. They wear a half worn body suit reminiscent of stars. And there are washes of nzu and ink dotting the surface like constellations. Odera's backside in a leopard cheetah print bodysuit with tiny jewels reminiscent of stars. Scattered across the picture plane are washes on nzu and ink drawings. A photo of Odera holding and harnessing. They wear a half worn body suit reminiscent of stars.

Ink and nzu dance across the surface of the arms, torso, penis, fingertips, and legs. These forms dance with and across the cylindrical volumes, becoming both embellishments and spells.

The Garden is the avatar of matriarchs, ancestry in progress, nature, & nurture. They remind us there will always be seasons for renewal & cyclical periods to bloom

A matriarch in a blue layered gown and matching headwrap holds an nza (horsetail hair) as she stares into the viewers eyes and sits on a chair. Above her a woman emerges from a green garden, wearing green and golden gowns that flicker and reflect the greenery she emerged from. She has green spira; braids, green lipstick, brown skin, and hold a baby in her arms. The brown cherubic ball has flowers in her hair and points a single finger at the mother. In the far background, flowers emerge from geometric structures, and a large face appears from the earthen sky and smells the flowers. --- The Garden 2024 Oils and acrylic on board 20” x 30” The Garden is the avatar of matriarchs, ancestry in progress, nature, and nurture. Emerging from the soil and in full bloom, they create a cross generational ecosystem that connects the physical and spiritual planes.
