Dad didn’t visit me in the hospital or call. I almost died and nothing.

He’s not even my real dad, I’m a rape baby. I met my real dad and he doesn’t want me either.

My ex husband got to kick me out my home. It was probably illegal, but no one cared because he had money.

I’ve had multiple jobs fire me after finding out I was trans - despite loving the work I did. Despite me being good at what I do.

I appreciate this.

The thing I looked forward to most about home was getting to make art. I did a puppet show a weekend ago and got to give out my art prints. I’ve carved a bunch of linocut blocks and I leave my art in shopping carts too.

    Nice. What play did you perform on your puppet show? And if it isn't asking for too much, would you share a photo of one of your artworks? I did a limocut once in school, most memorable arts lesson I had since I still got the scar from cutting my thumb down to the sinew

    My puppet show was a brief sketch about vinegaroons. I got to attack my audience with vinegar to show off their defense mechanism, which was fun.

    I’ve been making lots of arthropods. I’m not very good so I try to pick things with really distinctive and easy to draw body shapes. I didn’t realize it was possible to cut yourself with the carving tools 😨

    🙂Sounds like you had fun and the audience had at least one surprise moment, got to learn something and I bet also got to laugh. Seems like you're adding to people's lives kid. And I really like the art. Not everything needs to be super intricate and detailed and what not. I believe art exists to spark emotions, and make people stop and think. Not to compare against other art.
