Sometimes you meet an artist whose work has been part of your life for years, and there’s far more behind that hello than you can explain.

Meeting Guillermo del Toro brought back so much. This is a very personal one.

New on The Fire I Keep. ❤️ juliefrancella.substack.com/p/what-i-wan...

Me & Guillermo del Toro. ❤️
@realgdt.bsky.social
I lived in Mexico for 3 years with my daughters. They loved Pan’s Labyrinth, & somewhere along the way, he became a fav director. His work is tied to that chapter of our lives.
Lucky me. ❤️
Love him!

📢 Truth & Reconciliation don't happen without sowing seeds of truth and feeding them so they grow to suppress the weeds of myths and lies 👇🏼@juliefrancella.bsky.social's substack piece looks at the need to plant seeds of truth about the cost Indigenous tribes paid & still pay for colonial expansion

Sacred Brotherhood. ❤️ My watercolour & ink painting of Stevie Van Zandt greeting Leonard Peltier after 49 years in prison. Stevie spent decades fighting for this day. The original is headed to Leonard; a framed print I’ll be giving to Stevie. Miigwech to both. ❤️

October’s scariest thing? A worksheet asking kids to colour in the man who “discovered” people already living in their own damn homes.

If you haven’t seen this yet: white nationalists entered Indigenous land & displayed a banner reading “Got Bones?” which is a vile taunt demanding “proof” of children who died in residential schools. Anti-Indigenous racism is rampant, emboldened & happening right now.

@juliefrancella.bsky.social Sep 29, 2026, 6:16 PM

Indigenous children should not have to produce their bones before Canada agrees that what happened to them was inhumane. I said what I said.

I’m disgusted by the allegations in Jane Doe’s Cornell case. Along with my degrees, I received my TCI (Therapeutic Crisis Intervention) training at Cornell University which makes these allegations more difficult to fathom. Men, teach your sons about consent& respect. Women, keep standing together.
