There are no words.

I'm calling this one Built Upon. I usually write (or steal from other projects I'm working on) a few lines to go with each of these, to give them atmosphere or context, but I don't have any words for this one. The whole world is the context at this point. The number of times in the last several months that I've cried while brushing my teeth in the morning is ridiculous. Democracy, sure.

I did the thing! I finally archived my LJ over here five years later!

How are you all?

I'm okay.

I mean, everything is on fire and there have been protests of thousands of people happening in my city for the last several weeks and I'm terrified for everyone I know but like, you know. I still get up and shower and make it to work and hang out with my friends, sometimes while joining protests and writing letters to congress. I watch my tv shows. I do my laundry. I take deep breaths when the anxiety becomes a physical thing and sometimes I even sleep.

I write and grapple with the feeling that my writing isn't Important, but that promoting my work doesn't take away from the shit storm of information that's happening anyway. (EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE. Please buy our anthology. /o\ BUT EVERYTHING IS STILL TERRIBLE.)

So, okay.

I had been posting collages I made to LJ and I realized in moving things over that I haven't posted them for a while, so here are some things I've made over the last several months. Mostly out of anxiety when I can't make the words work.

What have you been making? Where is your voice? Are you drinking enough water? Take care of yourselves out there. You're important.

Hola. If you have been looking for momebie's dreamwidth account, then huzzah, you've found it! I do not plan on moving away from LiveJournal, and honestly, I've mostly been sitting on this name so that I can follow people who HAVE, so you won't find much here. (I might eventually start archiving things over here and cross-posting if you guys want me to, but that seems like an awful lot of effort.) But, in the event that I do move away, this is where I'll be. Feel free to add or not add at will. In case I've added you to my circle and you don't know me from LJ, here's a short list of places you might know me from:
