I’ve thought a lot about this lately since maga started going after the creative arts. Artists are generally deep thinkers. Introspective. Wanting to help others explore feelings and emotions through their craft. Maga labels it as woke and wants to throw it away… because they’ll never get it.

Anyone who has experience with autoimmune disease, either personally or with a loved one, knows how important this work is.
