If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Occasionally I do family portraits for people in a cartooned way — it’s a fun alternative to photography if you’re thinking of hiring someone for this kind of service. This is a crew from whom I bought our new old Land Cruiser (they happened to be art fans, so we worked a partial trade).

Was able to catch @realgdt.bsky.social's Frankenstein in the theater before it drops on Netflix tomorrow.
It is a creative delight to behold and the amount of depth resonating in every choice made in this film is an absolute joy to watch. Suffice to say, I absolutely loved it!

“There is no MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner to be hung, no real material change in the world of today versus yesterday. Just the quiet relief of good news that helps us live to fight another day.”
What a breathtakingly lovely piece.

"Hope is not blind optimism or uncritical belief in a political savior. Hope, to me, means the ability to imagine a better world is possible and then work to build it brick by brick. It is, as @prisonculture.bsky.social says, not an emotion but a discipline—one we must practice every single day."
Mayor Mamdani redefines what it means to hope
His victory has created a harsh contrast between the world we want and the world we have.

My final piece for @teenvogue.com politics section was a piece titled "There's a Steep Price to Ignoring Black Expertise" and boy has that come full circle.
Thank you @allegrak.bsky.social and the politics editorial team for turning this Head Start kid into a Black woman who writes for the public.

They gutted the Washington Post. CBS. NYT. Now Teen Vogue.
The point isn't to bring in more conservatives. They've reached that saturation point.
They are killing the fourth estate and buying up the social media to control the messages we see. These were all targeted to disarm the left of truth.

Well, this is pretty fun - the YT channel for our documentary production company (www.youtube.com/@inkonpapers...) has officially hit over 1 million views!
I know some people have single videos that do these numbers, but I still want to celebrate this accomplishment as indie film creators! Woo!

RIP Drew Struzan, the man who illustrated my childhood, especially at the movies. I am lucky enough to have a piece of his on my wall that I look at every day (from the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Pepsi campaign in 1989).
