The Death of a Wish is finished. Created using the ashes of an unfulfilled wish and the poem it inspired. I began this in October 2023, shortly after the attacks in Israel and before the genocide in Gaza. A written wish was burned to symbolize the unfulfilled hopes of war victims. TBC. #abstractart

I added these black and white roses I pulled from another painting I'm working on to add another layer of goodness to this piece. #janetanteparadesigns #feministart #protestart #contemporaryart #workinprogress #pdxartscene

There’s some truth here.

Tweet with black-and-white photos of angry white protestors and young Ruby Bridges being escorted by U.S. Marshals in 1960. The overlaid text reads: “The people who threw rocks at Ruby Bridges for trying to go to school in 1960 now are upset their grandchildren might learn about them throwing rocks at Ruby Bridges for trying to go to school.”

We could have had Kamala Harris. Instead, we have the most immature, petulant, stupid, needy, incompetent dipshit to ever enter American politics.

What a tragically stupid country we are.

It's insane how afraid they are of us that they're willing to openly censor Instagram stories just for mentioning another social platform. Just think about what they'll do to those who actually have the power to bring real change. So much for freedom of speech.

Thank you! Nice to see you here as well.

I've never been censored before, but today Instagram blocked all my stories linking to my Bluesky account post. The only reason this story is up is because I downloaded the original and shared it as a video instead of a post. #Instagramcensoring #youcantshutmeup #theywontwin #instagram
