“The great Henry McLie”, 2026, mixed media (by me). #FreePalestine #FreeLebanon #FreeSudan #FreeCongo #NoMoreWars
Photo of an artwork I made with collage, markers and pen. The piece features a page from the Dr Seuss book, The great Henry McBride (in which a young boy happily sits against a tree dreaming about his future) juxtaposed with a pen and marker drawing of a soldier running through a scene of war-induced devastation. Text from the book reads: When I finally grow up and turn into a man.

💔 Every war leaves more than broken cities—it scars the Earth. Bombs ignite forests, poison rivers, pollute the air, destroy wildlife, and leave generations to face the consequences. Peace protects more than people. It protects our only home.🌍

Yes, human use is not the only use - and all uses are interdependent.

“Nobody ever ended up in an emergency room from doing too much Mark Twain” 🤣 Gods, I love old library posters! ❤️ #LibrariesRock #Booksky #Books #Reading #LibraryPosters
Old library poster featuring a stack of books and text that reads: Get your kids addicted to something that costs just 35c an ounce. Experts agree, that if you get your kids hooked on something interesting, chances are they won’t need drugs. So push books on your kids. Books can become a very healthy, lifetime addiction. They can help kids learn to think. They’re fun. What’s more, at 35c an ounce, they produce a very economical high. And best of all, nobody ever ended up in an emergency room from doing too much Mark Twain. It’s about time parents became the pushers.

Teaching people how to regulate their emotions is crime prevention. It's addiction prevention. It's suicide prevention. It's generational healing. It's how we stop raising adults who explode, implode, or shut down at the first sign of discomfort. 

Emotional regulation is not just a soft skill. It's survival. It's the foundation of a society where people can disagree without dehumanizing each other, where accountability isn't seen as an attack, and where conflict doesn't always have to mean violence. You want a better world? Start with emotional education.
