Art decays or is destroyed. Ideas are as persistent as a shadow cast by smoke. Beauty arises from the most unexpected places.

I am haunted by the mystery of this ephemeral existence and the brief flame of consciousness. https://www.palimpsesteum.com/
People talk about #ai these days the way people talked about cocaine in the 80's.

It's supposed to enhance your creativity and personality but instead you become braindead and addicted.

Reclaim the flag! 🇺🇲
How do we reimagine the American flag as a symbol of inclusion, visibility, and unity for all of us? RECLAIM THE FLAG, a short documentary by Alexis Bittar and Bruce Cohen, offers perspectives from nearly 50 LGBTQ + thought leaders. I’m honored to stand with this movement and invite you to join me.

I want to work someplace where a vendor can give me a Porsche for "work purposes" and when I leave the job it goes to my art studio.

I'll be having my studio open:

May 10 – 11
May 17 – 18
Open on Saturday and Sunday, 11am to 5pm each day

You can have some @triscuit and Ice Tea if you drop by!

If a tree falls in an empty forest, our #AltGov friends at @altusfs.bsky.social know what happens!

Give them a follow and say hello. Smokey needs your help.

It's important to share this:
🧵I get a lot of questions about what will happen to Social Security payments. The way I see it, there are 3 factors that will impact payments, all of which will feed off each other to exponentially increase the likelihood that SSA will miss payments: backlogs, error, and system failure.

@2ndharvest.bsky.social is the best! Check out their volunteer opportunities. 😸
Our incredible volunteers recently took action beyond the warehouse—writing heartfelt postcards to elected officials in support of food banks across California, including Second Harvest & our partners at @cafoodbanks.org. So grateful! #VolunteerAppreciationMonth #VolunteersPlantSeedsofChange

We're ready. The official turnout from yesterday's protest marches (April 5, 2025 Hands Off) is 5.2 million, keep sharing that number. Most media is saying thousands. Mark you calendars for April 19 for the next one. The snowball has started to roll. The snowflakes have become a blizzard.

I'm enjoying this fascinating exploration of the influence of the work of Piranesi, especially the Carceri, on the arts.

I will discuss this issue with anyone who wants objective #s and evidence to understand how academic finances work: why the attacks on NIH are causing irreparable damage to science, will bankrupt hospitals and medical schools, and will ultimately harm our entire country. Ask your Qs below!!
“Claims that NIH funds are funneled into university slush funds are absurd and untrue.” Funding cuts threaten shared equipment and staff that keep research running. Science funding is progress, not waste.
