Two pairs of small cups. For making a toast to those who are standing up for human rights and against fascism, offering a drink to ancestors at your altar, or having quiet sips while contemplating the variegations of shino glaze. I'll be ready to part with these on February 11. @kostumonpiedmont invited me to pop up at their small vintage & consignment shop for the weekend. I'll be there with chapbooks and pots 1-6p both Saturday and Sunday. Come by, say hello, #touchmypottery, peruse #makemend2016, enjoy free refreshments. 🥂🍪 • • • #oaklandmakers #madeinoakland #ceramics #potsinaction #craftresistance #craft #handmade #popupshop #longcoolhallway #pottery #drinkup #drinkcup #cups #stoneware #simple #minimal #qtpocinclay #qwoc #qwocart

We must recognize injustice to create justice. Thinking about resistance, peaceful and otherwise, on this #MLKday (and every day). . this has always been a hostile country though its veils of freedom and democracy allowed me queerness it took, as the price, my history it beats at my loved ones this country built upon white entitlement on stolen land a country built on genocide and war this county has always been a hostile country ... we must keep ourselves ready for battle at every front • • • #poetry #wocvoices #qwoc #qwocart #makemend2016 #chapbook #longcoolhallway #racism

"persist" from my latest chapbook. to artists, activists, lovers.

don't get discouraged too soon

a few years into a lifelong journey is far too early to decide you are unable to travel the path

and anyway you know

you cannot live, could not walk, any other way
