“Genesis”

Trans Adam and Eve holding knives in the shape of a warped Uterus and fallopian tubes.

While it’s just a sketch, I feel this piece is probably relevant to a lot of folks in the US right now.

I started this thumbnail in 2022 when Roe v Wade was overturned. Texas fully banned abortion and we were slammed with a bunch of anti trans bills. This is one of a few concepts I had floating around in my head. Anti trans and anti abortion laws are two sides of the same coin and that’s what this piece is about. Solidarity is all we have!! I hope to revisit this piece and make an actual painting soon…

when it’s really bad again and it’s still way better than it used to be but it’s still really bad. and you do all the right stuff and you try and try and it still really hurts but it’s working but it still hurts and you go see the beautiful majesty of nature and your soul is so close to being at peace but your mind is still in pain. and it’s better but it’s still bad. and the sun is setting.

That time police peed on food for hungry children...

Bobby Seale Checks Food Bags, 1972 - Howard Erker

Free Breakfast for Children Program and The People's Free Food Program, 1969-1980.

In the early years up to 36 programs were running nationwide, feeding tens of thousands of children and poor families. The great success of this program was viewed as a threat by FBI director J Edgar Hoover:

"Hoover recognized that through the program the Panthers captured the loyalty of many black children by giving them free breakfasts. He was also angry that the breakfast program won liberal whites’ and moderate blacks’ support for the Panthers. Hoover perversely justified FBI attempts to destroy the program because it “is potentially the greatest threat to efforts by authorities to destroy what it [the Black Panther Party] stands for.” The FBI’s attempts to destroy the program included sending forged letters to stores to discourage them from donating food, spreading rumors that the food was poisoned, and even raiding sites while children ate."

And then there's such as this:

Despite such as this, the programs continued helping people in need for many years.

The Seattle chapter of the Black Panther party was the last to hold out, members managing to continue the breakfast program until around 1980, even after the chapters own demise in 1977.

The Black Panther's food programs directly led to the development of the national school breakfast program, and has inspired community based revivals ever since.

Also:

Other less well known services also existed included a Free Shoe Program, and the People's Free Clothing Program which provided quality clothing to Black communities. This program helped children get winter clothing to attend school and helped adults find suitable attire when seeking employment.

Hello. My name is Abdul Aziz Aziz. I am 36 years old and have been living in Belgium for a year. I want to tell you my story, along with my family in Gaza. I am married and the father of three children. My family is displaced in Gaza and I became homeless because our house was destroyed above my family, and because of the bombing of my house I lost my mother and sister. My children were injured and psychologically traumatized by this incident, and I now appeal to you to save my family from death. I also have a child who suffers from a brain tumor and has not received treatment since the beginning of the war. I fear that his health condition will deteriorate due to lack of treatment. My son's name is Yahya and he is 12 years old. He can't handle this disease, so I hope for your help. To take my family out of Gaza to Egypt, save my son, and treat him in Egypt. I hope you will look at my children kindly and help me. Thank you very much. Link
