Sylvia says, "The election was crushing, a deep black hole. And every day that's followed, that hole has been dug deeper by the news coming from the Orange Orc in Mordor Tower. Then, one morning, incapable of coherent speech, I sat down in grief and rage and began to draw what I couldn't speak. Afterward, I could breathe again. I began to find other ways of mobilizing--so many to choose from! And I continued to draw and draw and draw. It is true--making is a form of healing. We are makers. We are healers. Mobilize, don't normalize!"
