I make art for the weird and wild, and small batch upcycled clothing.
I believe a better world is still possible, I mourn for my lost comrades.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

I made a video talking about our local food pantries being overwhelmed yesterday and it’s very true.
My regular FP alone is doing more than 5x the amount of pick ups in a day and there’s more and more people signing up. They ran out of bread while I was on line yesterday.
Give MONEY to your FP

I’ve been relying on our food bank heavily in the past few years but even more so since my ex stopped supporting our child finically and the divorce has been on going, and I’ve gotten very close with the women who run it.
This is the first year they’ve had to limit holiday meals bc of the influx
