This coming Friday, 9/26/2025, I will offer my second lecture/discussion at the Seattle Public Library as their Artist-in-Residence. I will be sharing work that intervenes in public space; some projects are community collaborations, some are disobedient, and others are commissioned public projects.

Trump administration deports gay makeup artist to prison in El Salvador
A gay man with no known criminal record sought asylum in the U.S. He's since become one of 238 Venezuelan migrants deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration.

Shortly before his death, David Graeber argued that post-pandemic, we can’t slip back into a reality where the way our society is organized — to serve every whim of a small handful of rich people while debasing and degrading the vast majority of us — is seen as sensible or reasonable.
Here's Graeber's whole article (it's quite short, but it says what needs to be said): jacobin.com/2021/03/davi...

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP.
It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next.

This is what should be on every front page in 150 point banner headlines. All I have is this Substack but I lay it beneath your feet and pray to a higher power that I'm wrong.

Rally and march in Santa Fe today brought out thousands - very well organized, beautiful weather, and the solidarity among the crowd was reassuring despite the rage many of us are carrying.
