This guy (in the first photo). Joey Marsocci - @grymmstudios. I love him so much. He created something truly magical. An exhibition that recognizes the human spirit - transformation from trauma; transformation that occurs not only by creating art, but by creating community and connection.

“it won’t hold up in court”
sure! but remember the other day how i was like “you’re a criminal as soon as they need you to be”
& how they’ve been all “oops, she shouldn’t be in prison but nothing i can do now”?
wouldn’t you like to not have to worry about that? maybe make a cathartic, angry call.

One of the best ways you can help disabled people and fight fascism is by wearing a mask.
Representation and visibility matter. When you wear a mask you tell us you care about making public spaces safe & accessible.
You also make it harder for mask bans to pass.
Mask up. We need you.

Mask bans, just like dress codes, always stem from bigotry and oppression. Always.
There’s rumours circulating that Starbucks will be banning employees from wearing masks unless they obtain a medical exemption.
A symbol of end stage capitalism, this multi billionaire dollar company will force repeat infection on minimum wage workers just to pander to the right.

A deafening amount of noise needs to be made about this. DEAFENING.
This is big: House Republicans tucked language into the budget res “rule” that bans the House from voting to terminate Trump’s emergency declaration used to impose tariffs. TL;DR lawmakers who vote for this are officially giving up their power to revoke his tariffs until October.
