why I've never said anything about borders/immigration
Advertisements [?]


and nor am I asking anyone to think as I do. I've just decided to say why.


I made my thoughts on 'borders' when I was a teen and haven't changed them since.

I figured human beings should be able to go any place in the world they wanted to without passports, papers, etc. because the earth belonged to all of us. that borders were made up by men. men being males. and borders always had something to do with money. money being owned by men.

but since borders exist, then anybody should still be able to go anyplace in the world as long as they obey the laws of whatever border they were in.

simple. go where ever but obey the laws within that border.

this would horrify moneymen. this would horrify moneymen whose money is in wars. etc., etc., etc.

I feel this way about all kinds of borders. the borders around the property you own. your personal space border. the border around women's wombs.

I feel that women the world over don't think of borders the way men do.

and I think climate change is and will change borders as they now exist.

borders is something I've pondered over and it appears in the art I've created and will create.

the border between the US and Mexico is made of spilled blood/death and the area needs healing and needs to disappear. it didn't use to be there.
