Native Americans are worth nothing more than 16% of Kaya Jones’s spit.

Kaya Jones’s strange claims at attempting to connect to Natives includes claiming her father was first a full blood Apache, making her half. Then that he was from a reservation in Dallas that many were quick to point out does not exist. She then claimed that it is ‘a reservation’ in Texas (“My father is Native and his Rez was in tx. He was raised in Dallas after being removed from the Rez. Didn’t mean to confuse anyone with Dallas. That’s all”), but won’t specify which despite insinuating in this interview that many of her family on the reservation served in the military. (“…I’m also proud that my family is a lot of military too you know so as much as they endured a lot of pain on the reservation they also served their country well and I’m proud of that…”).If she knew many people from that reservation, she would have also known the name of the reservation.

Since December 2017, when this singer decided to be the “Native American ambassador” for a Trump coalition, Native Americans have protested both her claim to being Native at all as well as her role as an ambassador.

My latest music video creation for Plasmodium's "Clairaudience" (Remastered 2014 Edition) "Saw What You Did" by: Bob Miller & Jim Thomson (Newtown Creek Jams Publishing - BMI) "Visually and literally it’s got all the paranoia, paranormal, and anguished guilt you’d ever want as global societies traverse and reckon with a modern landscape of ubiquitous surveillance in a digital age where human lives are watched more than ever. And if there’s not someone watching you all the time, there’s certainly another set of eyes in your head that “saw what you did.” - The Vinyl District

My Hill Rag cover is out! It was released this past Saturday, along with my companion poem on the inside title section. If you are in DC you may still be able to find a copy. A limited Edition Print of "Heart Exposed" is available and on display at Touchstone Gallery through the end of this month. When I created the Floating World series, in my mind, I envisioned the world blanketed in snow. Bare footprints leading up to a love so hopeful and expansive that it would outlast and beat back the cold, it would turn into a peaceful and happily filled heart lifting into the sky. Heart Exposed was the first photograph that I created in the series, and though I leave interpretations of it up to the viewer, I do hope that it leaves you feeling hopeful and inspired. May love fill your hearts — each and every day — to the point of rising!

I love these bowtie bracelets designed by Sarah at Classy Girls Wear Pearls. They’re not available for sale yet, but you can enter her giveway and be one of the first to wear one. I’m lusting after the blue and white striped one or black and white polka dots. Too cute.

My friend Brittany found these, and I'm completely smitten!

Reminiscing: the video I directed for Colortone "Wire Girl & Cardboard Man."

Notré Dame © Tré Inc. 2012 Autumn glides in like the perfect Lady. The chill kiss of October now whispers on the breeze, a promise of changing leaves and pumpkin spice. I carry a remnant of Paris with me, the stained glass of Notre Dame, pinned to my necklace from Tokyo's Harajuku district. The base of the pin is a painting I did of a pocket watch, an element of time's frozen cogs. If I could freeze time now, it would be while sipping hot apple cider laced with cinnamon and nutmeg, smiling, wishing all of you a magically wonderful Harvest season. Merry Autumn everyone!

"Ever find yourself looking out upon the world... In all its disaster and splendor, wanting to hug it? It may not make everything better all at once, but knowing the love is there, maybe it will help a little. I'm sending out a hug to everyone. We all struggle in our own way, and I respect and wish everyone a brighter and more hopeful future. From my heart to yours, here’s to a better day or more good ones to come!" (Art Photograph to come soon)

From Tré (with love)
