Riz’s Reflections — Rest as Resistance
<aside> 🌼
Mutual Aid Ask! Hey! We are Ebony and Azul, we run a tiny shop called MUCK House Herbs. As two disabled Black lesbians doing their best to establish a revolutionary centered land collective in the Southwest, we raise funds for our survival and other's mutual aid needs through herbal goods like dry herb blends for smoking, teas, and baths, herbs processed into oils, salves, tinctures, and washes, and hand made art. Our items are all based on a sliding scale and we can also do free consultations to see if we can make anything special and tailored to individual needs. Right now we are hoping to raise enough funds to cover a much needed artist residency to recover and connect with our creative practices. In order to reduce our exposures to illnesses to protect ourselves and Claudia (our cat), we will be driving from New Mexico to California instead of taking a plane. We hope to raise $1,400 to pay for electric car charging, food, and lodging on our way there and back home. This restful artistic residency is much needed!
You can send funds to plantmamma on venmo and cashapp!
