I create #whimsicalart because it feeds joy and helps maintain our spirits. I am alarmed by the book bans, the writing of hate into law all of the anti-woman anti-gay and anti-trans bills and efforts (to name a few) currently happening in Republican areas of the US - and as we're able to help each other keep our spirits we keep this fight for #HumanRights sustainable. Yes, let's keep an eye on the extremists nefarious words and deeds but let's remember to support each other - whoever we are - and sustain our human spirits in the process. That's how we win.

The rise in efforts to ban specific topics from school libraries—largely books about LGBTQ people and race and racism—is inextricable from long-standing efforts by extremist groups to increasingly use schools as a political battleground. #BooksNotBans
