Rahk in a Weary Land

Mixed media renderings of stylized butterfly wings.

Last week's work. #rahkswaterstudio Inspired by butterflies and nature's defense mechanisms.

I felt em fa real. 🤗 ain't none but love in those greens 😂

If nothing else screams southern millennial, it's streaming Sanford and Son while creating art and waiting on the pork neckbones to tenderize in my collard greens.

Impeccably executed! #GoldenHeartDesserts

Haven't even pulled in the parking lot and the shenanigans begins.

Building has flooded again! What did they make these pipes out of? Pixie stick paper?

Me protecting my good vibes today.

Well, yesterday didn't go quite like I thought. But perhaps it was what was needed.

How tempting that blue pill is in hindsight after you have taken the red pill. Tempting but not insurmountable

This is for the people that still have the Dougie in their dance repertoire

Just found the music video for it. The video damn sure matches the lyrics. Why did I like that sing? 😂😂😂😂😂 I blame the 11% of my ancestry.

Summer Girls by LFO randomly popped up in my head. Sooo random.

🎶I'll be black todayyy I'll be back tomorrowww🎶 Shirleen's a fool

My fanhood of The Predator franchise continues with Predator: Badlands.

Adding a layer of humanity to these syfy aliens is diabolical in a good way.

Sun felt so good today.

Do you think flies call us walks?

Sent my mama this and said it made me chuckle. She sent an audio describing everything she saw in the meme and followed up with "I don't get it."

MA! 😂

Text reads "Freedom Lives Here Unaccosted" with substack link and an image of an old self-portrait. Arms outstretched, head up as if in surrender.

Seeing if Substack can be another home for my artwork. A home where censorship is utterly up to me.

In the after-show bloopers of Martin...that one time he couldn't stop singing "This Is How We Do It."

No cheating. Your last saved picture of a celebrity is your therapist.

In the process of creating a substack for my art studio.

I'm assuming Substack won't have a problem with nudity in artwork.

Summary: Convoy picks up with discussion of how good Mr. Jay and Nigel Barker look. And how everyone aged well. My comment: Agreed. Everybody except Tyra's wig. The cousins laugh and agree.

Kiki'ing with the cousins

A Charley horse waking you up is so disrespectful to the tranquility of sleep

Mannn, every time I'm scrolling through my timeline and a frown furrows my brow, I realize the app opened in the Discover tab for some reason.

Eggs Benedict casserole promo? Tf?

Me realizing I'm not on #BlackSky:

I probably need to write.

My position’s eliminated due to Trump’s anti homeless policies affecting the budgets of orgs who receive some city funding to serve the homeless.

I'm getting really tired of capitalism.

Frustrated with how it's replaced community.

Appalled that I can feel how ingrained it is in my psyche despite my exhaustion with it.
