Still We Rise is a fundraising auction hosted on Instagram that has donated nearly half a million dollars to various causes since it started four years ago. Their 9th auction is happening right now (ends June 29th) and benefits Movement for Black Lives, The Bail Project, Black Lives Matter + Equal Justice Initiative. It includes some beautiful artists + designers, and there are so many gems to check out, but here are just a few that caught my eye: Vintage coveralls, ceramic colander, set of 3 planters, Heirloom Waldorf Doll, fish earrings, your choice of a beautiful vintage quilt. Still We Rise also sells some super cute merch on its site that benefits various orgs + would make great little gifts to stick in the mail.

The cutest tennis cap, with the best use of a pun. 100% proceeds benefiting Movement for Black Lives.

One of my favorite ceramicists, Chloe May Brown, has quietly added some new pieces to her shop that are all instant heirlooms.

Josh has been growing a vegetable garden since we got to Rhode Island in early April. In the last couple weeks we have so many greens we can’t harvest and eat them fast enough. I’m also putting more pressure on myself to make delicious dishes with them because I know how much time and care went into their growth. We’ve gone through a TON of collard greens--almost all in the form of this food52 recipe, and they are amazing. Even our kids eat them, who tend to avoid leafier greens. The recipe couldn’t be simpler or quicker

In the past couple weeks I’ve been introduced to so many amazing Black Artists. Particularly striking are the textile pieces by Simone Saunders, paper and plaster reliefs by Ronni Nicole Robbinson, and paintings by Calida Garcia Rawles.

If you haven’t read Elijah McClain’s words, before the 23 year old violin player was killed by the police, you must. The transcript from the police officer’s body camera is one of the most difficult things I’ve ever read. He was killed almost a year ago, and the officers that committed this heinous crime are still working on their police force. Sign this change.org petition to demand justice for Elijah and for his family.
