On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.
Generation after generation, men and women put on the uniform knowing the risk — and went anyway knowing they might not come home. Knowing their families would carry that for the rest of their lives.
To the families still carrying that weight — I see you. The pain doesn’t go away, but neither does the pride.
Freedom has never been guaranteed. It has to be earned, defended, and sometimes paid for in the hardest way imaginable. Today on Memorial Day, we stop, we slow down, and we remember those who did.
We honor them.
We thank them.
And we work hard to live up to what they died for. Keep the democracy they believed in worth believing in. That is the ultimate tribute for their sacrifice.
I must leave;my loyal wolves are here;their eyes filled with encouragement.Together, we will navigate the delicate path between seen hope and unseen pain. We will speak with curious strangers along an illustrious forest, collecting avant-garde gifts filled with inviting devotion.

In search of an intoxicating illusion,
the photographer seeks,
perpetually following musical waves
within the edges of gothic tales,
caught in yesterday's myths feeding
tomorrow's senses.

I started writing this before Mother's Day, but I didn't manage to finish it until a few days ago. I am still working on this particular piece, as I do with all my pieces; they are never truly finished.
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
Texas will hold its 2026 runoff elections on May 26. Early voting in the runoff runs from May 18 to 22, and April 27 is the last day to register to vote.
