Hi everyone, hope you are well and practising COVID safety for you and your community.

We would love to share some of the art we shared in August.

We are also on Tiktok, Instagram and now Pinterest if you want to keep up with us on those platforms as well, but the newsletter is direct from the source.

Think of The Children
The mental health of poor children is never considered.

Patience : Part 2
I think my mum wanted me to inherit her patience. But I didn’t. She tried to gift it to me. But I refused. An ugly present I would not use. A virtue that cracked open the door to abuse. Her long suffering patience, the narrow path I could not pursue.

Loving Mother
And if she prioritizes accolades, awards and capitalist productivity above emotional wellbeing and intimacy, she is not a loving mother
