the world may be on fire, but I'm still an artist, and art is one of the things that brings me back to myself when everything threatens to swallow me up.

today I organized my supplies a bit, so I can inventory which colors I need to replenish, and to a picture of all my 2025 work.

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"

Rolling back EPA protections is something that all Americans should oppose. Here is my grandfather in 1937 with his firefighter buddies in Etna, PA. A blast furnace released so much pollution that people had to change their clothes at noon from all the ash. Is this really what we want?

Congrats, they heard you! The Social Security Administration has decided tonight to abandon its plans to end phone service for millions of Americans filing retirement and disability claims. Thank you to all who shared our post and made calls today—you did it!

Some are pushing for Remove Reverse Reclaim. Don't know how effective it is. There's a group planning to set up a full infrastructure for DC protest camps based on the mayday protests, basically planning for long term sit ins at DC I think

“I Love you. Be your best self.”

Those are my parting words to my kids each day.

So I just messaged the elder teen to let him know, if he gets arrested for protesting on campus, I have his back.

Because sometimes, being your best self means getting arrested for protesting fascism.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

This is on TeePublic right now, you can get it as a shirt, hat, sticker, etc.
It will be the trading card for Patreon this month.
AND I am putting op a vote right now to see if this, the No Kings design, or the Firefly design should be the pin. 💙

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

I actually think it will be very doable to recover quickly to America's former leading role in the world post-Trump, it will just require doing a lot of things that centrists and billionaires who'd prefer to return to the dysfunctional Obama-era status quo will find unpleasant or objectionable.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.
