New vocab word: smize
Meaning: to smile with one's eyes
Context: "Other Dad looks like he's always smizing" 🤣

Gotta try to do better about posting here! 🦋 Did you know @oceanstarr.bsky.social and I hosted a gallery show/meet and greet thing at the end of last year?? I can still barely believe it myself. 🤣 Social stuff wears us out!! But, here's some proof. And it actually went SO well. 😌🙏💙✨️

Dear white liberals,
If you feel a marginalized person isn't "sufficiently scared or outraged" after the election, do some soul searching.

Marginalized people have a lot more practice navigating their own oppression than you.

In case no one told you today:

*Your best* doesn't mean the absolute max of all your energy and sanity. *Your best* is what you can put forward today without harming your well-being.

You aren't a product to be used up. You are a being with goals.

You ARE doing your best, and I'm proud of you.
