The entry by Norwegian artist David Sandum for the 2026 @paeartforacause.bsky.social dedicated to supporting people and families affected by Alzheimer’s. The exhibit will take place at See Lab in The Hague, opening June 6th. Curator @tessawm-artist.bsky.social Nearly 1000 artists from 42 countries are now registered and we are a force for good! David’s words: This will be the 15th exhibit. I started the project in my hometown of Moss Norway in 2010, to raise funds for children’s books for my public library. Since then we have been in Los Angeles, Canberra (Australia), New York City, Stratford Upon Avon, Edinburgh, Cheltenham, Myrtle Beach (South Carolina), York, Vancouver, and last year, McKinney, Texas! All helping worthy causes through our love of art. It has not always been an easy ride. We have survived through a pandemic, and later a changing social media landscape. For this reason, we changed the name in 2023 from TAE (Twitter Art Exhibit) to PAE (Postcard Art Exhibit). I carry the love for all of our previous board members, curators, our participating artists, our causes and charities deep in my heart. Reflecting on this, I have concluded that there is nothing more creative than to watch something grow, and nothing more special when it is done with love. My words are appropriately inspired by a Dutch artist, «It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.» -Vincent Van Gogh Helpful PAE26 links 👍 Website registration link: https://postcardartexhibit.com For help and info please see our FAQ page: https://www.postcardartexhibit.com/faq

Never doubt the power of your calls. Onto the Senate!

BREAKING: The House voted to extend the ACA tax credits. This vote is a promising step to save 130,000 health care jobs and stop a massive spike in health care costs.

We commend the Republicans and Democrats who stood with working people. https://bit.ly/4sEjiwz
AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler issued the following statement: Today’s vote to extend the ACA tax credits happened because working people refused to accept another price hike engineered by President Trump and his congressional allies. Extending the ACA tax credits will save 130,000 health care jobs and stop a massive price hike in health care costs at a time when working people are already being squeezed by rising costs. For months, working people have made clear that we won’t accept higher health care costs, lost jobs or bare-bones coverage dressed up as a solution to politicians’ self-imposed crisis. This vote, closely following the bipartisan passage of the Protect America’s Workforce Act in the House, proves that when workers stand together we can build a successful and bipartisan coalition to protect working families. We commend the Republican and Democratic leaders who stood with workers and voted to stop this health care price hike.

Joining the granny squares together is going much faster than weaving in the ends did.

64 squares. 10 tails on each. Been working on it for 3 days through countless movies. I still have 300 ends to weave in. 🙃
