If you can recognize how evil it was when Stalin had people "dissappeared," it should be obvious to you how wrong this is.

The past few weeks have been rough. I felt like my school community needed a lil bit of hope, so I had my students make this mural for the hallway.

I chose the font & the quote, but the kids did the rest! I put the letters up on the projector so they could trace the shape of them onto cardboard. 🧵

I did Shibori dyeing with my Visible Mending class, and I'm really proud of them! I ordered string backpacks to dye with the next batch of students after Spring Break

Idaho wants to deregulate child care and get rid of teacher-to-student ratios.

These ratios are written in the blood of innocent children. When ratios are too high, infants and children can not be properly cared for. Babies die.

Spotted in Boise, ID

I'm glad I'm not the only person feeling this way here. Living in such a red state can feel suffocating and isolating.

Here's my Art students' Tattoo Flash Sheets

I teach them about the history and symbolism of the American Traditional tattoo style, and then they make their own flash sheets. I also have them explain the symbolism behind some of their designs.

Which one would you get?

Hundreds of Idahoans came to the Capitol building today to show support for immigrants and to protest Trump's deportation threats.

Here's my Painting 1 students' landscapes this quarter. I'm really impressed with some of them!

I'm going to have my art students make a mural that says "A BETTER WORLD IS POSSIBLE" in the next few weeks. I think we need a reminder to have hope right now.

If y'all know me, you know one of my favourite hobbies is textile arts (: this week, I'm selling all these clothes I've dyed at a consignment shop. They either don't fit me anymore or I'm not pleased with the dye job

Something I don't see people talking about enough is all the children of immigrants who are afraid to go to school now because I.C.E. intends to deport children (!!!) while they are at school, separated from their families.

The Idaho House wants to criminalize displaying Pride flags in classrooms.

This has been a West Ada School District policy for years, and one of the reasons I did not apply to work there.

another thing liberals like to do is point out right wing policies that harm right wingers too and say “you voted for this!”

they know. they know it also hurt people they hate and that’s enough.

when public pools were desegregated white communities filled them in rather than share them.

When people show you who they are, believe them.

I still have hope that people who have been blinded by propaganda will eventually be able to see through the fog.
