Witzilla. All about things related to music, art, kindness, community, creativity, connection - oh, and hilarity. Lots of that. Really, I just want us all to be okay. Anti-war. Supporting peace & safety in Gaza and protecting trans kids. All kids. Always.

Before you were anything - before name or breath, you were love becoming form. Not made, but woven in the hush of a womb, humming with the music of belonging. Knitted from the yarn that holds the stars together- not separate from the holy, but one with it. And still - this world forgets. Teaches you to forget. To close. To carry the wound as if it were your name. But beloved, you are not the wound. You are the weaver. You are the thread. You are the divine. This is how we heal- not by striving, but by softening into the truth of who we are. We are not broken. We are knitted from love. The very fabric of our being. Every moment, every breath. If only we can remember... (Christy Sharshel 5.24.25)

Text by Dr. Elizabeth Haven Hawley: Annual shout out to my mom, who said she wanted a small filing cabinet for mother's day when working on her dissertation. My dad got her a microwave.

What a gorgeous thing by Mary Oliver I do not know what gorgeous thing the bluebird keeps saying, his voice easing out of his throat, beak, body into the pink air of the early morning. I like it whatever it is. Sometimes it seems the only thing in the world that is without dark thoughts. sometimes it seems the only thing in the world that is without questions that can't and probably never will be answered, the only thing that is entirely content with the pink, then clear white morning and, gratefully says so.

Clararaccoon writes: So a teacher in my friends' class told them he had grounded his daughter for wearing makeup at school, and it turns out that the next day every single girl in the class had slapped the brightest blood red lipstick they had and there was a line in the bathroom to apply knife sharp, enormous curves of winged eyeliner on everyone and they looked like a legion of warrior goddesses on their way to avenge their sister, so when the teacher came in the room his face just FELL and he kept avoiding the girls staring at him during class, so they started raising their hands and asking questions about the subject to force him to look at them, and if you don't think girls are amazing when they get down to battle you are missing out on something glorious.
A mosiac style collage/paining of a beautiful feminine looking person wearing a yellow hat, top that is bare shouldered. It looks like mosiac tile, with broken clay and yellow throughout. She looks down and to the left instead of at the viewer directly.

I'm not sorry, but Columbia revoking people's degrees is absolutely insane, even for them. Degrees are not privileges, they're earned. You don't just get to take it away because someone is protesting????!!!!
A painting of a woman staring at the viewer. She has short brown hair tucked behind her ear. She's wearing green earrings, a green blouse and scarf.
