Hesitation, Hope, & Holes
I’ve been enjoying the Democratic National Convention. So full of humans, the kind that come with intelligence, compassion, a conscience, love for their families, etc. The kind that doesn’t lick the likes of Putin. Though I’m afraid to get too excited, I am feeling hopeful. But I painfully remember last presidential election. I thought there was no way the orange one could get in. I then learned I was living in a NYC bubble. Now I am conscious of the fact that many people who share the country I do actually believe the orange one is their hero, even as their family members die and babies are caged.
This Bronx artist, Shellyne Rodriguez, has done a series of work honoring the front line workers. I think her work is riveting.

The writer/director/producer of PRESSURE, Abdu Dandridge, was interviewed on a radio station in South Carolina. I am sharing it here to share with you what a lovely disposition this talented man has. I hope I get to work with him again. His vibes make me feel good. I do best when working with humans like him. I played a substitute teacher in PRESSURE.
I put earrings in my pierced ears today for the first time in months. I was afraid that if I didn’t, the holes might close up.
Stop laughing.
Huge love to and concern for CGG-M ❤💛💚❤
