“No wonder male religious leaders so often say that humans were born in sin—because we were born to female creatures. Only by obeying the rules of the patriarchy can we be reborn through men. No wonder priests and ministers in skirts sprinkle imitation birth fluid over our heads, give us new names, and promise rebirth into everlasting life.” - Gloria Steinem

Hypnagogic macrosomatognosia - a hallucination I’ve experienced since childhood while drifting off to sleep, where I have the perception that I’m both absolutely massive and minuscule at the same time, especially my hands and teeth/head.

 

That last painting was a little tedious so I’m chilling out with some pet portraits ...Oreo is so happy about his portrait....... just kidding, it was hard even getting him in this photo. Haha.
