Watercolour on paper
Boa Viagem beach in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. gusts of wind sweep the sand and palm trees, leaving hair and clothes in disarray. Done from life, holding the paper tightly.

Americans need to know that #Canadians want the #freedom to choose their leaders and their laws, the freedom to #trade without the interference of #tariffs, the freedom to choose who enters our country.
They want the freedom to speak different #languages, to choose what is taught ii #schools, for #women to choose, to criticize our #government, to choose who we are and who we love. Canadians want the freedom to say “no thank you” to becoming the 51st state.

Despite how much Cassavetes and Fassbinder pumps in my cinematic veins, I can tell a lighthearted story. Sometimes. With an oxygen tank between takes. Filled with malaise.
But seriously, you'll have fun watching this.

#Israel targets #children so the children won't grow up to "become Hamas." (in Israel's eyes.)
Israel targets #women to they can't bear more children.
See above.
Israel targets #doctors and #medics so more #Palestinians will die.
See above.
Israel targets #journalists so their #WarCrimes and #genocide will not be documented.
See above.
And the World sits on our collective ass and does fuck-all about it, letting Israel get away with it, just like we've done for the past 75+ years.

The same transphobes claiming women are physically inferior are banning black women from sports... because they're too strong.
Transphobes are misogynistic AND racists by definition because black female athletes are proof women can naturally be strong and powerful.
And there's no way they can accept that.
I just want to be the kind of woman who posts a photo of a drystone wall (that she built), then a picture of a bird, then a thirst trap, you know?

On March 8, we opened the first abortion clinic in Poland – ABOTAK. Every day, we help women, but from the very beginning, we've been facing aggressive attacks from fanatics.
Shouting, vuvuzelas held up to pedestrians’ ears, wailing sirens exceeding 120 decibels – noise like that of a jackhammer. Elderly people are afraid to leave their homes, parents can’t put their children to sleep, and residents are being denied their right to peace on weekends and holidays.
Now things have escalated even further. A few days ago, someone poured butyric acid at the entrance to our facility – a substance not only foul-smelling but also dangerous to health. Our financial losses amount to several thousand złoty, but Polish taxpayers bore even higher costs for the disposal of the acid and fire department assistance. Meanwhile, the city and police have yet to respond decisively to this vandalism and aggression. Look what they did to us.
And all of this is happening at Wiejska 9 – just 10 steps away from the Parliament and the Presidential Chancellery.
Do we really have to wait until someone gets hurt?
Will the Warsaw authorities and the Polish police finally take action?
Can the Civic Coalition’s presidential candidate, who promises to legalize abortion, ensure safety in his own city?
Let’s not allow this to continue! Help us bring attention to these attacks and pressure the authorities to respond!

We cannot be intimidated. ABOTAK is staying and needs your support!
Thank you that we can count on you!

Unbelievable how every reference to #achievements from #women or non-whites is being scrubbed from locations, education and the internet.
They are really trying to get the #USA back to a period where only white men were honored and only white men could vote.
And it depends on the American people whether they let this government change the nature of America, reduce the prosperity of America and return to a period of child labor, no vaccines and no representation for most.

‘Hands Off’ rally in Saranac Lake
Hundreds of locals rally to protest federal government
https://www.adirondackdailyenterprise.com/news/local-news/2025/04/hands-off-rally-in-saranac-lake/
"The protestors want the government’s #HandsOff a lot of things — immigrants, veterans’ #health care, #LGBTQ+ rights, #SocialSecurity, schools, #women, #penguins, the #FirstAmendment, the climate, #Canada, #Greenland and the #Constitution. Signs primarily focused on #DonaldTrump and his billionaire advisor #ElonMusk."
Girl group BINI is reshaping the sound and soul of the Filipino music industry. Their message is clear: success tastes even sweeter when it's shared, earned, and true to who you are.
And what this says is, "The future of OPM (Original Pilipino Music) is fierce and female."
