Watching this awful people experience the “and then they came for me” part in realtime would be delicious if it weren’t horrifying.
Here's an interesting thing about "DEI".
Avowed GC women are now learning that to right-wing men, THEY are DEI. Nancy Mace's rabid enforcement of cissexism and transmisogyny is not sparing her from Matt Walsh's misogyny, from the misogyny that treats all women who "overreach" as undeserving.

Our shoulder blades were once our gills… they’ve been redesigned for the fast ball, throwing, not like apes. We hurl while they climb. Even our bodies are made for killing from a distance.

Starlings keep dropping these on my head…
and everywhere here,
usually after they’ve eaten all the yummy bits (seen here) off…
seed’s hard as a rock…
I love it all…
want to drop everything and just pick up each little birdmouthed bullet.

Here’s how my quiet year is shaping up… over the next 3 months I’m making 6 pieces for a group show, a massive installation proposal (1 of 5 finalists) a center piece for a different installation, a portrait commission, a show of work from my flat file and teaching a 6 week figure drawing course🤷🛌🪦💀

Here’s something I’ve never said on the other social… or anywhere: I’ve been depressed about my creative practice for about 18 months. It’s been really rough. Will you tell me something about you?
