This is my son, Jason.
I couldn’t be prouder to be his Mama.
He’s the reason I will never stop pushing for the safety, dignity & celebration of trans people.
He has every right to life, liberty & happiness, just like you.

Go touch (or smoke) some grass.
And listen to some live music while you do it.

I’ve gotta say the speed with which many people bent a knee to fascism was not something I was prepared for.
That’s why the footage from Portland sparks so much hope.
People are fighting back in unique ways.
They’re making us smile. They’re fighting for freedom AND for joy.

#DefiantJoy time! Peaches 🍑 was absolutely amazing last night. (I felt like I was a teenager again, dancing it up at a warehouse in Detroit. Oh the 90s…) Any artist who uses their stage & mic to stand up for the most vulnerable & marginalized in our society will forever have my ♥️ #ProtectTransKids

They’re sending troops into blue cities, not because there is violence, but because they’re hoping for violence.

To be queer is to be divine.
In a world that tells us to hide, finding joy in yourself is sacred.
Today, breathe deeply. Touch your truth. You are holy.

Day 30/100
One day recently it snowed, rained, & sleeted all at once.
Everything in motion.
Everything shifting.
Since then: freeze & thaw, mist & light,
green lichens glowing on dark maple trunks.
Savoring this muddy, icy in-between.

Figured since I’m a photographer I should also post photos. I wanted to share this one that made me feel happy and this was the first of those to pop up in my phone. #defiantjoy #happydog #minnehahadogpark #photography #minneapolis #notmydog

The world is currently functioning as a highly efficient stress-generation machine. Refuse the output. Find a microscopic piece of joy today and guard it with absolute ferocity. #DefiantJoy #ProtectYourPeace #Rebellation

I wanna start a hashtag called #defiantjoy where we post something we are really enjoying in spite of everything that is going on.
There is a time to grieve, a time to protest, but there is also a time to say fuck you, I’m also gonna enjoy myself.

Starting a 100 Day Project this week — not to make finished work, but to practice showing up with curiosity.
Small daily explorations. Following color, repetition, and whatever quietly asks for attention.
Sharing a few early experiments

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.
