Larry Sawyer (2009/10) 💔😔

Fruit, coffee, poems of my dead love, and a burning desire to expel all (male) vile figures into the flames. I am conjuring a time where our roots—artists and writers and activists alike—converge to overthrow the fascists and bring forth into universal consciousness the new energy of matriarchs.

The old world is collapsing—very loudly. Those structures were not born of love. Don’t absorb it. Embrace love energy more. Fight with it. ❤️✊

We at Sea We at Sea is a book to help children navigate life's stormy seas by emphasizing the importance of cooperation and teamwork. If we ban together, we can accomplish great things!

Buy this book!

I dropped them years ago. When they continued to cover a fascist government and “both sides” as if legit I was out. F NYT ✌️

The nightmare of normal. Dollhouses + windows to the past. It doesn't end. Legacy building. Controlling the timeline.
