Why would an unassuming straight white lady need to leave the country? I mean, you could totally keep sacrificing your own autonomy and body and just be seen and not heard like how they tried to raise you. Right? NOPE. Fuuuuuck this. And we all saw it coming.

Trump cuts threaten access to birth control for millions of women
Birth control is routine for many Americans and polls show it's popular across party lines. Now, the Trump administration is withholding funds that provide contraception for low income people.

Hej friends! I left Trump’s America behind to start anew in Sweden. And when I say anew, I mean I am starting completely over. But I’ve started a Patreon dedicated to my adventures and adjustments, & also to keep me in art supplies! Please support Letters from Sweden at patreon.com/fridamelander

I’ve been back in my birth country for less than a month, but the minute I landed here once again, I immediately felt the baseline of sanity. Tack så hemskt mycket, Sverige. 🙏🕊️

There is no prescription strong enough to help the American reality see it is in need of serious prescription lenses.

Historical Tumult looks so much more romantic in film
than it is to live through. And if you are not feeling the current pain of the world, you are a probably a very well-off person extremely disconnected from the beauty of a baby dew drop in the early morning light.

I want my energetic sphere / environment to be at the frequency of “normal.” I realize that’s a lot to ask.
I’ll keep my take on what normal is to myself, except to say that it is a lovely existence for everyone who doesn’t want shit to keep going off the rails.

Watching the Great Moose Migration live streaming from my birth country. A little late to the party on this one, but I was out all day enjoying nature up close so maybe I was perfectly aligned! Anyways, no moose yet but plenty of nature and birds and beauty and calm. The créme de la créme. 🥰✨🌳🦢🫎

Life finds a way—this tree pushed through pavement and even wrapped itself around a stop sign in L.A. #Nature doesn’t ask for permission.

Illustrated this kid’s print after Hillary was let down by the voters of America. I had started it before the election, full of hope for womankind, humankind, & working together for the planet. Also inspired by Greta Thunberg’s activism for future gens. Sending love & strength to pristine Greenland.

The struggle is real 🍵🖌️
I’ve been a professional illustrator for ten years and today it finally happened: I just stuck my paintbrush in my tea. Guess I’m making another cup 🥲
