Behind the Canvas: Stories and Insights

Conditional Love ≠ Love

I’ve been sitting with a truth that keeps getting handed back to me like I’m supposed to accept it with a grateful smile:“People can still love you while holding racist beliefs.”And I need to say this clearly, because I am so tired of being asked to swallow harm in...

Encaustic Art

I’ve begun exploring a new medium in my mediumship. This is called encaustic art. This is new to me but one of the oldest forms of art. It is essentially painting with wax and in my case an iron with special wax pigments on a glossy card stock type of paper. Yesterday...

A Tragic Truth About White Pride

Angry white men flood the streets and the internet to declare “We will not be erased!” While symping for a system that erased them and their actual identities years ago.“Well how come we don’t celebrate white pride?” they ask, with no awareness or realization that the...

Intuitive Art

Last weekend, I got to take part in one of the coolest classes yet. It was an intuitive art class led by Cindy Kaza (one of my favorite mediums). If you’re unfamiliar with Cindy Kaza, she’s been on several paranormal shows like Dead Files, the Holzer Files, and a few...

Calming my nervous system

It’s been a tumultuous and bumpy couple of months for me. I found my nervous system fried after the last attacks on Chicago from the current administration. Prisoner in my own home for existing as mixed, as trans, as disabled, as more than the void of hate these folks...

Snow days

Chicago has already begun its deep freeze. I feel like somehow I’ve gone from summer to an arctic tundra without even leaving my house. I did the math, recently and realized that from September 5th until last week, I had only left my house 3-4 times. The idea of...

These Shackles Have to Go

Years ago, I wrote poetry as easily as I breathe. It flowed effortlessly and was the greatest gift to have been blessed with. Multiple head injuries and decades of trauma survived by bleeding my pain onto blank pages of spiral notebooks now strewn about this country...

Everyone deserves access to food that nourishes, not punishes

Let’s start with the truth:Food insecurity doesn’t exist because there’s not enough food. It exists because this country decided who deserves to eat.From the moment colonizers arrived on stolen land, food became a weapon. Native communities were starved into...

The Missed Point of the No Kings Rallies

The missed point of the no kings rallies, is that on Monday, our bank account was just as empty as it was on Friday. Our volunteer signup forms haven’t seen more signups, and Trans lives are no less under attack than they were a week ago. I’m not saying this as a...

That’s What We’ve Been Trying to Tell You

As I soak here in my bathtub, in a vain attempt to de-stress, I can’t help but to hear the sounds of sirens, screaming through the streets of Chicago seeping through a partially cracked window. Hoping to find refuge from the news, and rampant violence being...

Why pay for the American Dream?

The cost of the American Dream Is way too highAnd I have bad creditFor the wee price of your soulYou too can get a house You’ll never truly ownWith a plot of land to matchSo why pay for the American dreamWhen the American nightmare is already free?

I think I can, I think I can

It’s 9 pm and I’ve been packing, cleaning, and fixing shit all day. We’re supposed to pick up our truck tomorrow and still have so much to do. I feel like we’re never getting out of here but I’m also terrified that we’re getting so close to hitting the road. My body...
