day 447 : let me tell you about how joltingly honored i am to have been included in this first-ever women’s empowerment and powerlifting event benefitting an organization near and dear to my heart, @smartfitgirls.
.
feeling the boom of #intersectionalfeminism and meeting some of the most powerful, badass, and confident women i have ever encountered has been beyond humbling.
.
i’ve been sick with worry the past few months thinking, how am i supposed to get in front of people and talk about this injury and my life. i’m in a dark place, paralysis is heavy, and what do i currently have to offer to help anyone.
.
but, as i’ve made #vulnerability my commitment, i went up there, spoke my truth, and didn’t fall on the stage
.
my soul is bursting with magic at seeing how amazing this event was and how impactful coming together to truly support one another can be.
.
@chrissy_chard and @smartfitgirls, thank you for letting me be a part of this revolution, and let this be my insta-official notice that i WILL be powerlifting at this event next year. even if i can only crush the 15-pound bar!
.
to every person i’ve met this weekend - i am grateful to know you and have heard your story. thanks for sharing your good juju with me.

Hey folks, I hope you’ve all had a good weekend! I won’t be uploading the rest of the shop stock for a little while cos I’m suffering with another virus/flare up combo. But almost all of my previous shop stock is available, including some handmade crochet items! If you don’t have depop and don’t want to download the app - just shoot me a msg and we can set up your order straight through PayPal!
I’ve been sketching some new designs when I can, and I’ll update my depop shop as soon as I’m feeling better! xo

This is one of the last commissions I completed early this year, before taking a break from them for a while. I loved the concept - a depiction of the lunar goddess, Artemis. But it was also a challenge to match this design to the style and colour palette of the client’s pre-existing tattoo they wished to pair with it (one of the goddess Athena). A great experience and a lovely client to work with. Here’s some detail shots at the first line art stage. xo

White supremacy will use any excuse to be racist while forgetting its own history of abuse and violence.
Women supporting women in public bathrooms is so precious on that note let’s be just as supportive and inclusive of our trans sisters using public bathrooms.

Killing Sulaimani- How The Butcher of the People Became an Anti-Imperialist Hero - Hawzhin Azeez
“You can cheer the end of Sulaimani and still be anti-war. You can condemn the way Sulaimani was executed but still be relieved that he is no longer around to terrorize people. You can be anti-US imperialism and anti-Iranian dictatorship and brutality. Being anti-US imperialism, being anti-Trump’s reckless disregard for humanity does not mean that you should make Sulaimani a symbol of freedom, or Leftist ideology. Sulamani was a butcher. Trump is a dangerous megalomanic. The Ayatollah’s are just as guilty, dripping with the blood of millions across the region funding terrorist groups and proxy wars. Let Sulaimani die the butcher he was, with a fitting illegal end- the same he dished out to thousands-, without turning him into an anti-imperialist hero of the people- and by extension justifying the Iranian regime. The only loyalty you should have should be for the ordinary people of Iran, Iraq and the region. It is 2020, and it is about time we started viewing such issues in all their complexities, realizing that multiple truths can co-exist and that a simplistic analysis serves no one but those hungering for war.”

As middle easterners we’re really wondering about this.
It’s harder than ever to be brown or visibly Muslim in the West.
