I was born in Houston and lived in it, or just outside of it, for most of my life. 35 years. Iām HORRIFIEDā but people need to know:
Houston is NOT doing this. The state of Texas took over the Houston Independent School District some months ago, appointed its own superintendent, and he is the monster doing this shit. The city is against this bullshit.
The state of TEXAS is going after MY CITY. Houston has been winning too many damn elections for the āwrongā candidates and they donāt like it. Theyāre scared. The bulk of Dem votes come from Houston. Look at the numbers.

Happy #PortfolioDay to all who celebrate!
My name is Monica and I am a commercial artist and cartoonist specializing in advertising, autograph prints and cover work.
It would mean a lot if you could reblog this and follow me for lots of color characters and good vibes!
Attention people of The West:
I think they are crumbling under the pressure. Maybe skip the fireworks? If only to save the Washington State Dept. of Natural Resources from losing the last shreds of their sanity.
