Yesterday we closed the shop, joining in the global strike in support of a permanent ceasefire in Palestine. There’s a part of me that wonders what impact a small action like this can have against the magnitude of grief in this world. But, we all must decide who we are going to be and act with hope.
Hundreds of people unfollowed me, despite a weak algorithm that only showed my post about the strike to a tiny fraction of our community. I’ve been processing this today. Being who others wanted me to be was an issue of safety for much of my life, and there are still parts of me that want to comply/disappear/be very nice so that people won’t be mad at me. (I grew up in a christian zionist family/community and to everyone who told me yesterday how disappointed you are in me, you’re not alone 🙃)
But even more than that, I want to be here for the long haul, making and sharing art that is honest and insistent on the possibility of liberation and healing. I want to do so in public, in community, with you.
I am sending out my love and respect to each of you who is becoming so much more than what our political and economic systems want us to be. We will not lose hope.
Our shop is reopened now and I’ve just released this print of Who I Am in the public section (it used to be in the patron shop). This December has been our slowest ever (which added a certain anxiety to closing the shop yesterday) and teeny tiny businesses like ours are particularly affected by these ups and downs. Thank you to everyone who has supported my work lately — know that each order and patreon member makes a difference and really encourages me. This space is undeniably a community effort and I’m grateful to be creating it with you.
