Yesterday was my first NYC pride march in 8 years. I went to The Pint after, and all day all I heard under the claps and cheers and massive gaps of silence was "I am scared" and "I stayed home". And I am watching the younger crowd search for validation in their elders and events that are slowly becoming muted in the face of possible shooters, and I am watching the fear crawl over everyone. And I ( #pridemonth #automaticdrawing #digitalart #queer #nonbinary #transgender #dragqueen #existtoresist #jerseycityart #jerseycity #lgbtq #queerart )

The very limited showing of the original of the 4 Femmes #lackawannacoffee before a reproduction goes up instead. Endless love for everything this piece has gone through to just try to be seen. #indigenousart #twospirit #streetart #MMIW #PROTECTTHESACRED #strongresilientindigenous #ndn #jerseycityartist #jerseycity #existtoresist (at LACKAWANNA COFFEE)

When we protect the earth, we are not only protecting ourselves. We are protecting those that poison it. We know this planet will survive and thrive again after they have destroyed themselves. After most of us are gone. But not all of us. We survive their atrocities everyday. We adapt. We evolve in toxic and unlivable conditions, while they become dependant and too sick to tolerate even the simplest joys. We find ways to grow as they wither. We will go on, after they are gone. We will adapt and survive in the wake they leave. And this is the truth they fear. Why they fight us. Why they destroy themselves. Because they fear their lie, and their mortality. Just as they fear that we always have and always will survive despite them. Without them.
