Hi! I’m Laura Galbraith (Laura the Gal)—Illustrator, Designer, 1st-gen Caribbean-American, Florida Girl, and mom of 4 (2 human, 2 furry)! I love bright colors, patterns, & typography, Pop-Surrealism, Fantasy, & Art Nouveau. Chronic illness slows me down, but I’m proud of every piece I create. Enjoy!

So apparently, it may turn out that The Wizard of Oz at the Las Vegas Sphere wasn’t entirely made in AI and Google threw the VFX crew under the bus by claiming it was all done by artificial intelligence.
If true, then fucking yikes.

Alligator Alcatraz was built in 8 days
It took just over a week to create a massive concentration camp that will torture people
Remember this the next time those in power claim they can't house the homeless, feed the starving or provide medical care to the the poor
They can, they don't want to

“Just leave the country” is not an option for most disabled people.
Many countries won’t accept high cost health users.
Many have income and savings requirements before they will even consider you.
Leaving is in many ways, a privilege.
Fight for those who have to stay behind.

Hey. Really quick, let’s talk about Getting Out.
By now, I hope you know that moving internationally is not only prohibitively expensive, it’s also just straight up prohibited in a lot of cases. Disabled people, for example, are barred from immigration in pretty much most countries. 🧵

Anyone can become disabled at any time. It’s one of the few minority groups you can always join.
Even if you do everything “right”. Even if you’re young and healthy. Even if you “try hard”
It’s not a moral failing. It’s a part of life. Engage in disability justice.

At the time it felt wrong, Trump was tanking in the polls and his rallies were mostly empty. He was having to pay people to attend and they were leaving before he had finished his rambling, incoherent speeches. Now there's evidence. She won, he lost.
She Won. They Didn't Just Change the Machines. They Rewired the Election.

I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark.
I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

“I had no idea it was THIS bad!”
We’ve all heard this from a friend or family member who becomes chronically ill.
Despite watching us suffer for years, they never understand until it happens to them.
Please listen to disabled people. It IS that bad. Protect your health. There’s no do overs.

Some fights aren’t fair.
So we show up anyway—louder, brighter, bolder.
Because fair isn’t given. It’s made.
This one’s for the organizers, the resisters, the dreamers holding the line.
Lettered with love, framed in strength.
