Aubrey leading the retreat!!

//Found this old drawing of Aubrey and the lady from the other world whose name i don't remember for the life of me 💖 they are running away maybe? Hands grabbin dem. Hand holdin then :o in haste! Wo!

Image ID- two women holding hands, running on grass away from spectral arms. Aubrey Little is on the right, her hair is a poofy pompadour and she's wearing a denim patch vest, and ripped jeans over fishnets. She holds and presumably tugs on the hand of a smaller woman in a flowy dress, who wears a tall wizard hat, large round glasses, some jewelry, and scarves around her neck and waist. The woman is crying and clutching her hat to her head as she stands in a position about to run. Her leg furthest from Aubrey is caught in the grip of a disembodied, spectral arm on the ground, and similar hands as well as fog reach and grasp at the women's feet.

Day two of the week long strike for a free Palestine and I thought I’d share my recent painting with some tips for those looking for ways to get involved that can’t attend an in person event.

🍉Disrupt- Call/ email your representatives. Jam the phone lines with demands for an immediate ceasefire, aid to be allowed into Gaza, and an end to the occupation.

🍉With your money- do not spend this week. If you find yourself in dire need of something, try to buy it locally instead of from a corporation and absolutely no spending on non-necessities. Look into mutual aid programs near you. Beyond the strike, keep the boycotts going. Look for Palestinian businesses to support. Shop local over corporate as much as you can. Research your bank, see where they invest. If you find your money going to oppressors, move your money out of there and close the account.

🍉 Social Media: boost Palestinian voices and refrain from engaging with unrelated content. Share information. Engage with pro-Palestinian content to help fight the algorithms. This week, refuse to post or engage with any content that is not about Gaza.

the allergy i am seeing grow up around small talk in any form is troubling to me. do you know how to make friends with people in your physical environment? it typically starts with small talk. do you want to live in community? small talk. do you want to have the type of relationship with your neighbors where you can run over and borrow a battery for your smoke detector when it starts beeping at 10pm? small talk!! do you want leeway from your coworkers when you fuck up something small? you gotta be able to build a relationship and that's small talk, baybeee.

"but i don't need friends and i don't care about community!" okay, lone ranger, what about the people in your community who need you? "but i have social anxiety!" me too, bud! we simply must soldier on. making up lists of questions to ask people helps. and people are predisposed to be generous, i've found. even if you make some kind of mistake, what is this but the natural give and take of human interaction? nobody is perfect.

you were not put on this earth to live by yourself and then die. you need people and people need you. treat those around you with curiosity and generousness of spirit and you will gain so much goodwill in return.

Your Montrose has one of my favorite designs--I cannot commend you enough. It just exemplifies that these doofuses really are grown ass men doing such goofy things and I find that delightful. Really adds to their unhinged energy and fits with Griffin's Benoit Blanc-esque accent. //applause <3

aw thank you so much!! i am so flattered <33 always overjoyed to hear that people like my design!

2. you really brainblasted me with that last sentence hahaha

one thing i need to start living by is “become the thing that you want” if i want friends who throw themed parties maybe i should start throwing those parties. if i want someone who writes me love letters maybe i should start writing letters for the people i love. if i want to hang out at museums and pretty cafes maybe i should invite my friends to these places. and maybe even then i won’t find the kind of people i want to be around. but then i would have become the exact person i want to be around. and maybe that’s good enough.
