leaping off the ledge of privacy

Greetings Humanity...
Mollie Kathleen at your service and taking a minute to fully accept that I officially just became a blogger. I will be using this blog as a forum to post images of my artistic process and commentary on my daily existence.

a new vocab for a new world

2020 always seemed futuristic & fun. I grew up during the Jetsons revival, & they were living their best life with flying cars & Rosie the Robot. but now, we ARE NOT having a good time.   our new vocab includes: social distancing quarantine shelter at home flatten the curve #stayhomeKC & best of all, don't go see the doctor just call them. meanwhile everyone is talking about how we are "called to stay home and watch tv" it's not that hard, supposedly. but it's so much more... meanwhile on: tiger king ep.2 ( a NETFLIX original) "i am never going to financially recover from this" -when his employee, had her arm ripped off by a tiger.  only serves to remind me that the whole world  is hurting. what can I do to help?
