tonight’s moon, breaking my heart and calling me home

[Stella Maria Baer @StellaMariaBaer]

packing up my studio and meditating on these colors made from dirt and rock. some from near a canyon where my mama took us camping. some from my workshop at Ghost Ranch. each color is a story, a history, a day, a place, a time, a memory and their shadows bleed into one another

shipping out this custom sized print “Topography of Birth” today. I made this dilation chart from Colorado and New Mexico dirt the week before our rainbow baby Whitman was born. thinking of all who surrender to new life, all who struggle to be reborn after loss

happy valentines from the dirt and rocks

someone wrote me last week saying they have been noticing the colors of rocks after learning about my work. the rocks have so much to say if we listen

I read recently that our generation only takes photos of sunsets with our phones so here’s a photo of a sunset with my phone and some chamisa just to mix things up 😀🌄

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

I have one message to members of Congress who amplified lies to undermine our democracy, encouraged an attack on our Capitol, and tried to overturn our election:

Resign.

If your lust for power exceeds your dedication to democracy, there is simply no place for you in Congress.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

If the 25th amendment is not invoked today, Congress must reconvene immediately for impeachment and removal proceedings.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

I am drawing up Articles of Impeachment.

Donald J. Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate.

We can’t allow him to remain in office, it’s a matter of preserving our Republic and we need to fulfill our oath.
