WTF?!!!
......and man I have REALLY been out of touch on some things.
It occurred to me today that one of my most favorite artists here on RB, a woman whose heart and art and social commentary, bite and artistry, integrity and yes, temper has been booted off the bubble. Unfortunately, it was almost a month ago I think, from what I’ve been able to find here and read about it. Also unfortunately I haven’t the time to read all about it right now. (Going on another serious sleep deficit – 3 hours last night and a 10 hour day today with 6 more to go).
But I do want to say this:
BRING HELEN BACK!!!!!!!
And for all of you HMB supporters out there
HMB lives!!!!!

NONE OF US HAVE FORGOTTEN Jen ! we are waiting in the wings for good news and it better be soon I tell ya !
JenLand replied
Well, maybe it’s a good thing I came late to this little discussion, kinda bring it back up to the surface again…......... Just emailed with her, good to ‘talk’ with her. The convo went something ilke this…..... you can’t say certain words here but you sure as hell can post all sorts of photos of genitalia and such, just don’t ever say what it’s used for!!! ha ha ha ha
Christopher E...
yea..we are waiting…in a nice and patient way, guess a test is at hand? see if we will drop it? just let it all go like others that gradually faded from the site with no warning? and that vid..pretty much sums it up for helen! lol
JenLand replied
I hope she sneaks in and has a look…..... hee hee!!!
JenLand
Oh! And I may have to join the ranks of those boycotting RB, taking my stuff off for sale. Though it won’t really be a big deal, since I have only ever sold just one thing, and that was to a friend so that doesn’t really count…..........
funkyfacestudio
Hahahhahaha this discussion is very much still alive behind the curtain…........we shall see :)
JenLand replied
It is truly heart-warming!!!! :o)
funkyfacestudio
you on fb Jen ?
JenLand replied
Yeah, but I rarely check my account there. So many networks, so little time! bmail for an email address if you like. :o) Or perhaps I should spend more time on fb and less on rb! :o)
funkyfacestudio
they got mail too
JenLand replied
see bmail, send me a friend request and will continue there tomorrow!
Darren Stones
Waiting patiently. :)
JenLand replied
Just had to add my rebel yell to those of you patiently waiting! ;o)
JenniferB
Waiting patiently pretty reassured that things are being worked out fairly and reasonably behind the scenes… but my Jennifer B time bomb is ticking… ;-)
JenLand replied
Uh-oh! tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock….... fingers drumming on the table….....Yeah, hard to be patient when it seems there is some heel dragging going on…..............
Leon Walker
The Freedom Fighter lives!!! Hahahaha! She’ll be back!
JenLand replied
Truly hope so!! Who else ever says what she says?!!!!!
JenLand replied
like she says it?! :o)
Kelly J
As said Jen, we fought a fierce fight – a lot of people did!! Sorry you got such a shock. As said, we are waiting patiently for a fair and reasonable outcome…. Helen’s re-instatement! :)
JenLand replied
It’s the only fair and resonable thing to do!

The clock is ticking….........

Art Action Union Petition in support of Helen Bascom
JenLand replied
Ah ha! An organizer! Woo hoo! THANK YOU! Heading off to sign now. :o)
Sally Omar
Helen is a force to be reckoned with…and the cancellation of her account was far too
harsh…perhaps RB will reconsider…there are still those fighting for her return!!!!!!!
xoxoxoxo
JenLand replied
A sure sign of her stature here in this community. :o)
Kitty Schul
It was wrong that she got booted. Everyone is still fighting for my mom tho! She will return! I’m sure of it!
JenLand replied
HMB lives on RB!!!! Can’t wait to hear that officially and see her kick-ass art on these pages once again!
DragonFlyer
None of this is over and done with Jen… there is still MUCH going on behind the scenes re RB’s biggest ever mistake – Helen and all around here are – as Sally says – a force to be reckoned with.
Unfortunately for RB – IMO the WORST outcome for them would be if Helen no longer WANTS to come back…..
She and her networks can offer much to artists that RB doesn’t really bother with…
Kallena x
JenLand replied
You are so right Kallena – Helen will continue to be an amazing artist and influence in the art world and social justice realms at large. RB’s loss for sure if she chooses not to come back. So glad to see and hear so much support and dialogue going on about this. Revives my faith in all sorts of things! :o)
owlspook
oh Jen I do understand .. I did not know Helen well .. only a little … I will stay for other reasons … if you go I will really miss you …
JenLand replied
We’ll see how it all plays out, but it is quite disappointing to know this site is ‘ruled’ so unfairly…............. Rest assured though, you’ll always know how to get in touch with me my friend!!
owlspook
you’d better not just disappear (grin) ... (smile) thank you Jen … still I hope you stay (smile)
H M Bascom
They have almost let me back on Jen. I’m here but no one can view, comment or buy my art. :-(
JenLand replied
Hmmm, sorta like a eunich don’t ya think?!!!!!
H M Bascom
Yep, snipped, clipped, zipped, and ripped.
JenLand replied
Yowzer! That’s okay, unlike in the natural world, in this world of the ethers, you can grow those huevos right back!!!!!!! ha ha ha ha ha
H M Bascom
teehee, I feel ‘em growin’ back as I type.
