Agent of change, champion of animals, maker of beautiful art. Proud disabled sarcastic woman of a certain age figuring out what's next. Along the way, I get to be grown up to an awesome kid and spend every day in love with my favorite human. Love wins.

This week has been a roller coaster ride. Creation has slowed a bit, but I’ll never stop. Something beautiful to welcome you into the weekend and hopefully get you thinking just a little. In the middle of chaos.

“Wildflower Wash” today is a day filled with cold and sadness. Almost more than my heart can bear, but I painted something colorful. I needed to remember Joy. Maybe you do too. Share it. ♿️ #DisabledArtist #WomanArtist #ThisIsNotAI #ArtMentalHealth #SpringForward

“Hush the Monsters”. a tribute to my in dialogue most days. Also, a statement about what I think we should try and do for others. The world is full of ugly things. Always try to add joy where you can.

“Neural Confusion” a visual representation of thoughts colliding in my anxious brain. Sometimes Justine unruly mess. Sometimes just beautiful fragile creative things that might disappear if the light changes. #Disability #DisabledArtist #ThisIsNotAIArtForMentalHealth

I think those who replace their drivers licenses/IDs before the due date, or anytime before they need their ID for something urgent or fundamentally different from those of us who know the panic of a looming flight and an expired ID. I am the latter. Four I always will be.

There are so many individuals who really need these kinds of supplies. This is not only criminal, it is flat out inhumane. I am disabled. My soul caregiver has Covid. We are making it work. Supplies like this would be well used here.

Wishing you all a season of joy. It doesn't matter what words you use to spread kindness as long as the deed is done. Your neighbor where they are and don't make believing like you do a prerequisite for a welcome seat at your table.

I kind of wish rather than bots, platforms would allow disabled people who have the energy to do the job and pay us for it. It’s solid work that takes some skill, and there are a lot of folks who really could use a small steady stream of income.

I certainly didn’t mean for my comment to come at you in anyway. I was just pointing out to others who might read the thread that there are weaknesses in how the text appears. Many sided people don’t understand the purpose. Thank you for helping to test.

That is decent alt text for a sighted person, but it misses the point of alt text. It does not describe the visual elements of the painting.

I am watching "This Old House." They are installing a ceiling track lift system in a little boys bedroom as part of building the house! I might be allergic to something. Representation matters so much. #Disability #Access #Accessibility #AffordableAccessibleIntegratedHousing
