It’s a War on Children.
It’s a War on Communities.
It’s a War on Working People.
It’s a War on Humanity.
It’s a War on YOU!
And a war on Mexicans and other Latina/o undocumented folx!
When people talk about human trafficking, they rarely talk about labor trafficking, but it is the MOST COMMON form of trafficking happening in the US.
Some of Van Gogh’s best work was done during a period of his life that he spent in a hospital being treated for his mental health problems. I could be wrong but I think Starry Night was among those.
This is consistently the case. Creators tend to do their best work when they are in a healthy place and receiving proper treatment and not being self destructive in their efforts to cope. Go figure.
All our experiences, good and bad, inform what we create, but suffering is not the price of great art. Suffering is what prevents artists from completing great art.

Series: Part 19 of 4 Minute Window (PART 19!!!!!!!)
This is the master post for the 4 Minute Window Advent calendar 2021! (*boggles*) As always, my goal is to tell a little bit of story each day (knock wood) between the Immaculate Conception and Christmas. Explicit eventually, the rest as it comes. Times being what they are, we might be even more loosey-goosey than normal. Apologies if I come in late or there are typos etc. but I’ll get it all done and patched up eventually. As always, feel free to send me your hopes and dreams and I’ll see what I can do!
I note also that this year there’s a secondary, related project being posted on Tumblr called “4 Inch Window” - @melllacita is building a DOLLHOUSE REPLICA of the Coney Island Design & Construction building where Steve and Bucky work and live. She’s posting pictures of it in progress and telling you lots about how to build awesome dollhouses. The prologue is here or you can follow @melllacita’s tumblr for all the 4 inch window updates.
Hope you enjoy!
