I found an ancient disposable camera at my parents’ house last month. Most of the photos I got back are mush but this last one made the whole thing worth it. Happy anniversary @jackal27.bsky.social I adore you

Happy Birthday @mitzistarkweather.bsky.social
Even with life at its worst: still the kindest, strongest, and most steadfast of us all. Today, and every day, may you feel a modicum of the power and hope you have given to the world. What gift to know you. What a privilege to love you.

Mitzi Starkweather is the most incredible, powerful, genuine human being I’ve ever met.
If you’re not familiar with her work as an artist, educator, and advocate, you should be.
To call her my best friend is the greatest honor of my life. Fuck cancer.

Not sure how to do this. My partner and light of 19 years, @mitzistarkweather.bsky.social has been diagnosed with metastatic (stage 4) breast cancer.
We are hopeful that modern treatment can give her many more years of changing the world.
If you’re able, we could use your help.

Thinking about AI slop the last few days, the one positive I can draw from it is that it shows how many people are hungry to somehow acquire the spirit of an artist, are starving for some kind of inspiration, or to see themselves as capable of contributing something beautiful to world.

I defy any expectation that separates me from my heart, disconnects me from my body, or attempts to cage my soul.
