Artists and their audiences

I have never called myself an artist. Usually, I just say I’m someone who loves art. And that’s true, I do love looking at art, but I also love making it. I don’t remember a sliver of my childhood when I wasn’t drawing with Crayola markers or painting with watercolors. My life as a youngster was constantly consumed by art, and I really loved every second of it. I grew up in a household that embraced creativity, so no matter how terrible my kindergarten drawings...

my best friend. In fact, I’m probably not her number one fan, even though I do consistently watch her videos and listen to her podcast. And, in all honesty...

Democrats: Get out of your own way or prepare to lose in 2021

The past few months of national news have been dominated by the debate over Joe Biden’s agenda, and the Reconciliation Bill vs the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill. In 2020, during the Democratic Primary, candidate Bernie Sanders proposed $16 Trillion in spending for infrastructure and climate change. He was not the candidate, unfortunately, and by the time Biden was inaugurated, climate groups had brought that down to $10 Trillion. President Joe Biden compromised and asked for $6 Trillion. Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who is allegedly a Democrat, asked for $4 Trillion in spending.

A skirt doesn’t alter my identity

At the start of high school, I dressed in baggy clothes and clunky boots. My head was shaved. If it weren’t for my short stature, I might’ve easily been mistaken for a boy.

I had grown to hate it over time, to hate the way it enabled people to view me and treat me. I did what I felt would protect me from those misconceptions. By presenting androgynously, I convinced myself that I would be perceived...
