paint by numbers

This is a soothing activity and i can sit doing it for 12 hours while watching “sex and the city” for the first time in my life. Most of the art in my home is art that i have made from paint by numbers and what’s amazing about it is that they have many different styles. For a long time i thought the only paint by numbers you could do was animals, and i generally hate animals, so i avoided it. But it turns out you can make van gogh-like paintings, or gorgeous vistas from italy’s cinque terra, or a cityscape. If you are looking for something a little less committal (I tend to spend 40 hours on one but i get extremely detailed ones) you should do a paint-and-sip class at Pinot’s Palette. They are all over the US and you get to take a group photo at the end that they put on facebook like you graduated from high school :)

'Wmd's' and iraq

Marching with more than a million people when I was 18 to protest the illegal invasion of Iraq and seeing that the government did not care one bit what the people of the country wanted. I haven't trusted politician's since then - until Corbyn but we all know what the establishment did to him. I've spent my life protesting and causing 'good trouble' but they still don't care and they never will - now I'm building community and looking to get involved in mutual aid locally. The only thing we have is each other, the government isn't coming to save us. Quite the opposite in fact, no matter which party is in power.

Reject nonchalance, embrace caring

I cannot recommend caring enough. They will never take my care for my fellow human away, without care and compassion I become less human and i will never allow that. Care about anything! Pick a topic! Trans rights? Palestine? Immigration rights? Reproductive rights? Climate change? Go for it! Care loudly and passionately. Soon you will start to see that all care is connected, when you care about one thing you care about all! Stay connected and informed. Create and read about the things you care about, talk to your loved ones about it - then they might start to care too. Then the load of caring will be lighter for everyone. I love to care and I will never stop. Be a chalant mf'er with me.
