She makes me so happy, I just don't understand how there can be so much evil in the world when such gentle beauty exists, I really cannot. Every day I feed her and every day I resolve to protect this miracle of a planet and the people who still understand what it feels like to love.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

Yes it is holbein acryla gouache! Just last year I started using it instead of my regular gouache and it was a little hard to get used to not being able to reconstitute it with water but it's worth it for these stellar neons and bright pigments!

If anyone is interested, this is the limited palette/gamut I used (8 colors + white) to make this piece. The green and pink neons mix to make a really warm orange/yellow ochre, which is just such fun color science!!! I love painting!!!
