the clacking of the heels, the sound of the pizza boxes, this is a journey

My most stereotypically white person habit is I really do LOVE saying “looks like we got here at the right time” if a place gets crowded after we’ve been seated

The Colorado senate just passed a bill that would require all hospitals to disclose if they don't provide gender-affirming care, end-of-life options, and reproductive health-care. The hospitals won't be forced to provide any of this type of care if they don't want to, but they will no longer be allowed to hide that they don't. A lot of patients haven't found out that these types of care aren't provided until they've already paid for an appointment, are already dying, or even are already mid-birth, so this is a really important step.

And, honestly, this is how it should work. If you have religious objections to something (because it is primarily the Catholic hospitals with these problems) fine, you can do that, but you don't get to dictate other people's care based on your own beliefs. Forcing hospitals to disclose what they will and won't do allows patients to make informed choices on where they want to go based on their OWN beliefs.

you dumb asshole, you just won $0,000

A relief painting of a surreal wound. Pale, bruised skin is torn open to reveal an oozing mass of pills and rhinestones. A smaller wound has been closed with stitches, and blood-stained bandaids speckle the edges of the skin.

After figuring out that disgusting tissue paper skin technique, I made this.

It’s about chronic illness. Sometimes you feel like a raw wound full of pills and glitter, y’know?

Paper clay, spackle, paint, glue, varnish, expired pills, band-aids, thread, and Unicorn Milk topcoat on canvas.

This made it to the first round of jurying for an art show near me! Crossing my fingers they choose to include it

They accepted me into the exhibition! If you happen to be near Central MA, come see it May 4-July 9 at ArtsWorcester, or come to the free reception on May 12!

Gallery opening was a success! I won an honorable mention from the Youth Committee (middle and high school students who got to vote on the art at the show) 😊
