Who gets to make art?
Who gets to make art?
CLASS has several threads in it, and all of them could be a topic of discussion, but I'm looking forward to the ones revolving around making higher education more accessible.
Hello Friends,
Montana’s state constitution guarantees an individual’s right to privacy. From your devices to your body, our constitution protects you from government intrusion.
But the right to privacy in Montana is under threat from politicians who want to allow the government to intrude on your body, your relationships, and your religion.
Montanans may not agree on everything, but most of us deeply respect each other’s right to privacy. And none of us like when politicians or the government tell us what to do with our personal lives.
Our state law states that citizens can post an orange square on their private property to signal "No Trespassing." Wear the Square and signal "No Trespassing" on your rights. Stand for individual privacy and Montana’s Constitution by wearing the orange square. Proceeds from Wear the Square will be used to educate people about their privacy rights and to fight against those who seek to take them away.
XOXO

What are you most excited about with the upcoming release in CLASS?
“Aside from the thrilling, often intense ride that publishing a whole book about yourself can bring, I'm excited to hear from people who feel seen and a little less alone. In CLASS, I show what it's like to be a single parent in college. It's not easy, and between cleaning houses, school, homework, and taking care of my daughter I hardly ever got ahead. The entire book takes place in Missoula, so it was fun to write about the landscape and community that I fell in love with here. Missoula's different these days--a lot different--but I loved reliving those times when I ran into people I knew everywhere I went and had entire mountains to myself
CLASS has several threads in it, and all of them could be a topic of discussion, but I'm looking forward to the ones revolving around making higher education more accessible. I hope the question "Who gets to make art?" starts bouncing around in people's minds to the point where it's asked and discussed at dinner tables.” - step

Sometimes you just need to talk to someone about your mental health. It’s great when you can reach out to a loved one—but that’s not always possible. Fortunately, warmlines are there to help!
A warmline is a phone number you call to have a conversation with someone who can provide support during hard times. Whether you’re in crisis or just need someone to talk to, a warmline can help. Warmlines are staffed by trained peers who have been through their own mental health struggles and know what it’s like to need help.
Warmlines are free and confidential. They’re different from crisis lines or hotlines like the National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, which are more focused on keeping you safe in the moment and getting you connected to crisis resources as quickly as possible. (That doesn’t mean you can’t call a warmline when you’re in crisis—a warmline may even be able to help you find the best place to go for crisis resources, or help you mentally prepare to seek out more formal treatment.)
The website warmline.org keeps an up-to-date list of local and nationwide warmlines across the United States.
