I finally finished the most recent piece I’ve been working on: “What Percentage of My Life Has Been Spent Criticizing My Appearance in the Mirror?” This is a 5-color screenprint and I cried a lot while working on it ❤️‍🩹

Feral. Yearning. Pining. Ripping my hair out. Desiring. Longing.

The worst part about having an unsolicited crush is how hard it is to NOT text them or try to talk to them constantly. Go away. I don’t want these feelings 😭

Rediscovered this video of me from when I was 23 & I would give anything to be able to tell this version of myself just how proud I am of her. Tell her how smart, brave, capable, & beautiful she was. How she was worthy of love & affection - to try to give herself permission to love herself.

I don’t know who or what I am. All I know is that I don’t feel like a real artist, whatever that is.

I feel like I am constantly letting down my inner child and I realize it’s a good thing that I never had children.

The “covid is only a threat to the vulnerable” narrative primed the pump for the eugenics movement we’re seeing now. It conditioned people to see the disabled & vulnerable as acceptable losses. People who were probably going to “die anyways”. It paved the way for fascism.

Life after a depressive episode is all about cleaning up the messes you made, facing the reality of your actions, and apologizing. It’s accountability and it makes it even harder to crawl out of that hole. But it has to be done.

I have bipolar-ii disorder and I’m a multi media artist. My work is centered around mental illness in the hopes of reminding people that they’re not alone in their suffering.

I’ve had a few people reach out to me via text and one even email me because they couldn’t find my Instagram. I legitimately didn’t think that anybody would notice if I disappeared.

I’ve deactivated or deleted every social media account I have except for this one. This one feels like a secret since I get little to not engagement on it. Now I can be an obnoxious self loathing pos in peace 😌

There are a lot of things that I dislike about myself but the number one thing is how I want to disappear completely after being a monumental disappointment. I am not worth the air I breathe.

I think it was Imani Barbarin who said "my politics is disabled people" and I felt that. Everyone dies. Most of us have a layover at disability on the way. My politics is disabled people because my politics is everyone.

Common People is so apt and astute and brutal and it was a more horrifying experience than watching literal horror movies. God damnit Black Mirror, great job.
