Crow Candy- art by Mel Wilde

WIP Wednesday was technically yesterday but life had other plans so here it is!
The project is customizing my family's full length mirror. I'm using acrylic paints to create amethyst geodes that will have gold chains with mystical charms draped over it all!

The world is heartbreaking
Both bc of the horrors and the beauty
Sometimes people think that it would make them a bad person to find any happiness while anyone is suffering
But grief and joy are two sides of the same coin
Love
Love the world
Love each other
Love yourself
And so keep fighting

Dying is the opposite of leaving
Thank you Andrea Gibson for telling stories that taught us here is love, here is you, here is belonging. Your words reach out like the hand of a friend, like a lingering kiss, like a catalyst
We carry you with us

Our rage is not something to fear or be ashamed of. Acknowledge your anger, welcome it, sit with it and let it tell you it's story, find it's source, and move forward honoring the root of your rage

It's ok to be scared, it's scary times, acknowledge our fear, welcome it, comfort it, and let it go. Breathe deeply and act with purpose

All cops are bastards
Bc all cops are bastardized, corrupted, and made complicit in the violent police state of the US. Every single one.
It takes bravery to refuse to accept the unacceptable
Justice for Rodney Hinton Jr
And rest in power to his son Ryan

We don't actually need to quantify if we've suffered enough to earn compassion or care. Even if it wasn't a big deal to someone else it's ok if it affects you more strongly. And even when it happens more than once it's still ok to make a big deal out it bc it didn't stop affecting you

Sometimes there isn't a silver lining
And it can be harmful to try to push yourself to find one by ignoring the emotions you think aren't "good" or "useful". Sometimes you just have to wait for a dark cloud to pass and make sure you're still around when the sun shines again. Keep flying lil crow 🖤

Having strong convictions is really important in this fight. We just ALSO have to be open to new ideas, give authority to those with expertise, and be actively pursuing learning. But if we don't have strong convictions then we give up too quickly so take time to think deeply about your values

We all wish we could learn every lesson the first time, but most of the time it takes us trying and failing many times at the same problem to figure out a new way forward. We are all always doing the best that we can with the information and resources we have at the time 🖤

We are always an accumulation of our experiences so even if something doesn't work out we still take forward the skills and lessons we've learned. It can feel like we're starting from square one but that's never really true. Honor your feelings but don't lose sight of how much you've grown 🖤

A lot of us were raised to feel a lot of anxiety around doing anything but especially around our success. Either bc we were expected to be perfect, or taught we weren't good enough, or that anything we were proud of would be taken away. We push back by valuing the process and progress we're making

Daily Crow-Affirmation: you may not be where you want to be yet... But you're not where you used to be
When we're overwhelmed its hard to see where we are and just how far we've come. Take time to slow down and remember that we can want better, need better, and still find things to appreciate now

Accountability ≠ Punishment
We've all balanced on a moment where we were deciding if we were ready to let go. Remember that letting go doesn't mean forgetting or erasing but it does mean forgiving yourself and releasing the shame and blame so that you can move forward. When you're ready lil crow 🖤

Sometimes I draw for serious AND it's not even a neon color palette 😂 it's called RANGE. Yes it's still a crow but it's a DIFFERENT crow okay 😂

Our anxieties try and tell us change is impossible. But life is change. Nothing stays the same. We can't control everything but we do get some choice in who we become. Become your truest self and know the journey, not the destination, is the whole point 🖤

As individuals we may be weak and vulnerable but as a collective? There's very little we can't do. They call a collective of crows a murder so go out today and help kill corporate compliance with fascism by showing them how committed we are to each other. No DEI? No Dollars

No ethical consumption under capitalism also means that there are no "good" corporations. Corporations aren't going to save us, they're going to do what will make them profit. While it is important for us to be intentional and understand the value of our dollar. We cannot buy our way out of fascism

We all want to believe that we would be the kind of person they have to drag out of a town hall or at least that we wouldn't let them drag someone else away. But rarely are we ready to be that brave. Bravery isn't magic, it's a skill, and like any skill it requires practice. So practice lil crow 🖤

Growth is hard but it gets easier when we start finding ways to love and honor our past and the habits and patterns we created to keep us safe especially when they aren't serving us anymore.

Today is a momentous day where people all.over are gathering to show the world that we do not accept this. AND remember that this is a marathon not a sprint. The revolution will not be televised but also the revolution will not be done in a day. Stay focused. Solidarity and love lil crows.

One of the great tragedies of life is we are more loved than we will ever really know. We touch people's lives in unexpected ways and they touch ours. Feel the love today and cherish the people around you. Happy Valentine's Day lil crows

Release the shame of not knowing. Release the fear of not getting your needs met if you aren't centered. Let go of the comfort of feeling Done. Embrace learning. Respect others authority over their lived experiences. Stay open to new information and perspectives. Seek out ideas that grow your mind 🖤
