To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

—With love,
Your American allies.

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.
Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but this is video of Rumeysa Ozturk's arrest posted by WCVB. It's terrifying.

When you live in New England, indoor plants really help to add some cheer in the Winter. Overwintering of this hibiscus is - so far - a success. :)

Donald Trump can’t change history, we know what we saw on this day four years ago. It was domestic terrorism and treason, plain and simple. No number of pardons or lies will change that.

5/31, January studio challenge: “Fuschia,” pastel on pastel board, 9x9. Making my way through more Ireland references. This stunning Fuschia was everywhere: along the roads and in gardens.

The hibiscus I brought in from the garden just bloomed, and I will take this as a sign that 2025 won’t be a *complete* dumpster fire. ;)

The light… We seek for it, we make plans, we wait and we hope… But only in rare occasions we get to face truly unique light.
When it happens we get fulfilled…
