Suppression of content based strictly on language is not free speech.. Tik Tok has had issues for a while.. And they are not getting better.. Glad I am getting away from that app..

Realizing that the violence from ICE is not just bad, it is targeted. #Minneapolis, Governor Tim Walz, the epicenter where George Floyd was killed. It is all deliberate. It is not coincidental. It is retribution and more reason to resist this regime! #leftist #politics #ripalexpretti #fuckice

Your MAGA uncle is going to be really confused by this one. If he asks, you can proclaim you love of #frogs the #dolls and #trains. Tell him you bought it from a #leftist transgender #autistic artist. He'll get it then

You can choose to let what does not kill you make you stronger.. It is not a guarantee.. But if you put in the work, those trials become the building blocks of a foundation for your own success!

Life is definitely abstract! Our experiences can be colorful, weird, and very much up to interpretation depending on who you are.. No matter how life is.. Approach each day like a blank canvas!! #healing #cptsd #mentalhealth #autistic #parenting #queerparenting #artist

Self compassion is a skill needed to be an effective parent.. #healing comes from recognizing what you have and being able to have gratitude for those things! It can truly help turn off self doubt..

One of my favorite things to do as an #artist is to take an #artprompt and see not only what I can make of it, but also what others make of it! This #painting, the prompt was dual-duality. It is an older painting, so less refined, but I do love this one! Would love to see others interpret this!
Painting of a forest. The painting is segmented diagonally. On the bottom right corner the forest shows black trees, a white sky, a black sun, and brown ground. The upper left hand corner the trees continue, but are white with neon green leaves, pink flowers, on a stary night with a neon yellow moon.
