Hey @PeteButtigieg, since you clearly can’t tell what’s going on around us. Let me sum it up for you, Sister to Sister.
I hope you can forgive my tone here, but frankly we’re tired of you and you need to go back to Milwaukee or whenever you’re from. 👬🏳️‍🌈👏🏾

1) People are dying left and right, many of whom are undocumented and many of whom are #POC. Black women are 4x more likely to die of complications in childbirth. Our own community (LGBT+) is systemically hurt by lack of #MedicareforAll

2) Unconstitutional Wars have become the new normal in America. I know you haven’t bothered to read the Constitution in entirety, but if you want a Readers Digest version, I suggest following @MikeGravel or @TulsiGabbard as they tend to hit the mark.

Your party has consistently undermined the interests of the “lower class” Americans that it purports to fight on behalf re: minimum wage raise. $15 is a compromise, and a true Presidential contender would be calling for closer to $22. Talk to @ewarren!

Across this country, people of all colors (disproportionately POC again surprise) are being targeted for abuse by the police. We know you think #AllLivesMatter (we have receipts), but a serious Presidential contender would have a plan for shit like this.

If that isn’t bad enough, the planet is going to rightfull kill us all in the next decade. So not sorry you think our tone needs improving or we are alienating people by trying to save lives. Have a seat Pete, you’re way out of your depth. #HaveaSeatPete

My friend made a post on FB commenting about @PeteButtigieg and how the younger generation “isn’t ready” and how @AOC is “rare”. Originally this was my comment, but decided that speaking life into other people’s preconceived notions is worthless. I’d rather speak fire into you.
Mind you, I don’t endorse Pete and I think he’s comical in the sense that I don’t understand why we’re talking about him yet I demand the same “Hey this guy likes penis, give him power” treatment that he’s getting for our Senate run. I also want the @KamalaHarris #POC card too.
My response to the post;
(1/?)
“Yes because the previous 3 generations before us did such a great job ruining, j mean running the world (sorry #GenXers, you’re not counted in this as I’m sure your generation prefers oddly enough).

So a few people have asked me about my reaction to @DoloresHuerta endorsing @KamalaHarris for her Presidential campaign in 2020. My thoughts on the matter and given with as much respect as I can give, as a person with Mexican family, and not quite fluent in Spanish. #DesculpaMe
1) @DoloresHuerta is a titan in Central Valley politics and for Mexican-Americans everywhere. She is often overlooked in comparison with #CesarChavez, but my understanding is that Dolores was more of the logistics of the @UFWF while #Cesar provided the #Vision. Sounds familiar!
2) In fact, my own Grandmother (mother’s mother) says that she marched with both @DoloresHuerta and #CesarChavez in the 1970’s. I recall the last time I asked her about her stories, I told her that I heard Dolores was fierce #AF. She concurred unequivocally.

As politicians are jockeying to save face with both their constituents and lobbyists, trading in the universally desired #MedicareForAll, for the #MedicareForMore slogan pushed by #neoliberals, I echo the words of my sister-in-arms @MuyMexi when I say the following; (1/X)
This should not be happening in the “greatest country in the world”. People should not be forced to choose between food and the table and insulin to treat their bodies for the food they are going to eat. #MedicareForAll removes that barrier for all people.

I used to work for @Medtronic Diabetes Helpline, helping insulin patients troubleshoot their devices. One of the things I learned while working there is the extreme pain that #Diabetes patients have to subject themselves to, just to live a “Normal” life.

Then let's get ready.

For those who have areas where they refuse to update any of the equipment, put together a team to fundraise to have portapotties near the lines.
Also have sufficient funds on hand to pay for water and snacks for people in line so anyone who is diabetic or has other medical issues is able to snack as needed.
If you know someone who is a doctor/nurse and is able to help out in case of emergencies, have them handy. Some of these spots are in the sun so sunscreen might be needed.

[Taekook H.S AU]:

Taehyung is your average senior in high school, just trying to lay low and not stand out. All that changes when popular jock, Jeongguk pushes him on a seat that is dubbed ‘School Year Loser’, a seat everyone tries to avoid.

#taekookau
-If pushed on the seat, you have two choices- stay as the year loser all year long, or find a way to make someone sit on the chair.

For Taehyung, revenge was going to be sweet.
-I dreamed this story, so if it doesn’t make sense…blame my weird mind.

- Let’s just hope thread doesn’t break. :(

-Please ignore all dates/timestamps, they are random.

-Will be long, but I’ll update everyday until it’s complete! <3

A brief thread about trains. Nobody in power in London seems to care about this but it still sucks so, hi. 1/
Apparently Transport for the North are still *very unhappy indeed* about the train situation here but, it transpires, can basically do absolutely nothing about it
Probably the most interesting and telling thing Ive learned in recent days is that *no minister* went to the latest TfN meeting, despite this allegedly being a partnership between the north and the government. No minister.

1/The day of my 9 year old client's immigration court hearing, as we were riding the elevator down from my office, a man got in and smiled and asked my client if he was going to school. "No, I'm not going to school," he said.
2/"Well then are you going to do something fun?" asked the man. "Yeah!" said my client, and smiled. On the elevator ride up to the immigration court on the 25th floor, he giggled at how fast we were going.
3/My client's mother - back in the US after a 2012 deportation (she doesn't speak English or Spanish and couldn't explain to the border agents her fear of return) testified on my client's behalf, since he is 9 and unable to explain why he would be in danger in his home country.

I haven’t been enjoying drawing or sketching or the whole illustration process for a while now. Months, even. I've been itching to find a way to shake it all up.

I got some feedback from a free portfolio review with Mark English. Here's some of my takeaways:
He told me I need to vary my mark-making. He could tell that there was a lack of variety in my work that’s stifling its energy. I agree.
While I’m sorting this all out, he also told me I need to:

-rely less on outline, let shape and value do the work
-focus where I place visual interest in a piece
-make sure the lines I do make aren’t uniform everywhere
-everything must have energy or support energy
