Did I set up my cozy desk to do some budgeting? Yes. 💪🏽

Did I spend all day creating my character journals and oc’s backstory? Yes. 💖

Ahhh I really can’t wait to finish my brother’s stuff…I wish I were faster.

Have a little bit of a rush project in the works 💖 So close to being done! But it’s bed time :3

Well that was my little memory before bed. I actually was just looking at beadwork and saw a bunch of horses on a regalia. And it reminded me of Joy Harjo ❤️🐴 Fun fact, I’m actually beading my horse set rn too!

Sometimes good learning can mean to take your time. Which also sucks when measured by the ticking time clock and depleting funds from colonized/western education. Ahhh…

I guess the moral of the story here is to always collaborate and get your facts checked lmao!! And can’t emphasize enough to do *extensive* research bc I def tried cutting corners on my work bc of my coarse load and how many jobs I was working.

It got a little worse. Bc in class after reading the book, I still hadn’t put two and two together. Luckily, a colleague/acquaintance helped me piece it together. But omg it was embarrassing to find out in class like that 🙈sigh…

Gosh…I must have been really bad at my researching at the time bc tell my why I found Hulk Hogan’s wife and was trying to see if she was Cherokee or something. Which kind of made sense to me bc Mean Spirit was set in Oklahoma. So for a second I was really getting it twisted 😭😩 omg

I was reminiscing on some pieces I had read in high school. Like “She Had Some Horses” by Joy Harjo. And I remember reading Mean Spirit by Linda Hogan. I hadn’t heard of her when I started reading her works. And I was trying to research her more to understand.

I can’t believe when I was starting my academia and Indigenous Literature studies…I really didn’t know enough writers. I really didn’t.

I also have a spot where I can see my fav stickers by Poyomi I got years ago 💖

So many good things coming together 💖🪶

I already posted to my tumblr, but omg I have finally been able to acquire organizers and containers for my bead supplies 😭💖 I am so grateful for the space and the peace and monotony in my life for this.

I am so happy with how it’s coming along. It’s the little things yknow!

"artists excel in difficult times and make great art"

Bro, I can barely post my art let alone make any.

Grief has been such a good friend to me in this decade, but I think I’m ready to leave the comfort cave 💖

And I suppose that’s what our oppressors take advantage of most, when we’re stranded and divided. When our own people have internalized and perpetuated what we need to leave.

Le sigh. *hugs*🫂

Heavy footnote that I am trying to cope with everything going on. I think about how I’ve neglected my relationships to family and community when it’s been difficult to reason with them/set boundaries/call in&out their problematic behavior.

I never reached out to find more community since.

Thought: I just want to watch other #BIPOC #Artists stream together and they share their craft and art and chitchat 💞 and the proceeds go toward crowdfunding. And this might already exist, if so, I’m hoping to attract that algorithm so I can watch and enjoy something so cathartic and healing rn💖

Can we start normalising the Joy Of Missing Out?

There is so much social pressure to ‘do’ - have we forgotten how lovely it is to do nothing?

I figured it out lol 🤦🏽‍♀️ #shesnew

I also have like no idea how to navigate this app yet lmao….now what does adding another post do? 👀 *scratches head*

I was literally beading some butterflies last night, and I felt so many emotions as it reminded me of symbolism for migration. And today felt like such a refresh mentally. Social media does something to the creative mind. Sometimes it would feel like when Kiki couldn’t fly 🥺…
