I have always wanted to be skilled at visual art, especially painting. I had a lot of fun with the little bit of art I got in elementary and middle school. So I’m working on developing those skills.
I chose watercolor because they’re cheap, nontoxic, and easy access.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
