It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

all i know is that normalizing debate with fascists has only facilitated the rise of fascism.
A graphite and colored pencil drawing of a small white boy (6-8 years old probably) sitting on a bed, surrounded by creepy teletubbies. All are looking right at the viewer with sort of vacant expressions
A close up on the graphite sketch of a boy surrounded by colorful teletubby bits. The boy is split down the middle because he is drawn across two sketchbook pages. He is sitting cross legged

A punchy, bright acrylic sketch of a few storks sheltering in a human restroom. One is perched on the toilet. Reference photo taken with flash, so shadows are painted harshly.

Hi friend 🥰
Highly stylized print of a young girl and cat face to face in profile. The girl's girl is composed of bold black lines in a geometrical bob cut and a dark red leaf-like shape surrounds her eye, pointing up. The space behind her is filled with the same red as the leaf. The cat is black with a huge, round white eye crossed. over with a slim black pupil and a slash of the same red of the leaf and the space behind the girl. Everything about it bold, strong, striking.
Girl with Cat. Ca. 1940 - 1952. portlandartmuseum.us/mwebcgi/mweb...

A haiku by me:
Sweet snake in the grass—
I stick out my ankle bare
knowing the dangers
Ah, thank you lovely! 🥺💕
