Thank you to everyone in my community for being the change we want to see in the world, and for pitching in however they could. Between gifts and donations we've managed to raise $2500 for Sans' emergency dental bill!!

I am blown away by the response and so grateful for the support.💜

They're trying to overwhelm us. (It's working)

Focus on a few core issues that you're already confident in, and trust that others will cover the other areas for you 💜

We know what to do from queer history and from literature:
-Be intentional
-Build local community
-Have no tolerance for bigotry
-Work in partnerships with organizations that are already doing the work you're passionate about
-Pool resources together instead of competing for them
-Feel joy

When I originally came up with The Apathecary, Trump was just starting to ramp up in the elections, I was immigrating to Canada during a period of time when immigration rules were getting stupider and stupider, and dealing with a crippling artistic slump. These bottles helped me cope. 1/
