Fascism is here.
Whether or not we stand up to and eradicate it is the only question left.
NO ONE is coming to save us...not Congress, not the courts, not law enforcement, not the military.
IF, and it's a substantial IF, we get out of this, it will be because of us.

18 years ago, we started ProPublica to do hard-hitting, rigorous journalism that exposes wrongdoing and injustice.

Our HVAC units held out for our 10 and a half years here plus the 9+ years before that. But today it was our turn for the crane to visit. Check out all those angles!

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

Special find at the International Folk Art Museum in Santa Fe yesterday - a hooked rug! It was made by Celso Gallegos in the late 1920s, early 30s. The colors were incredibly vibrant. It was clearly well cared for.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

During the holidays, being brain-fried, I was lucky to get back to a rug taking little thought, perfect for watching movies, catching up on shows. WAY better than doom scrolling. Busy hands are best in these times.
Hooked boucherouite is big enough for the floor. Old bedsheets with a little tshirt.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Penultimate sketch. Thanks if you followed this journey. It's me, how I currently look, rather than how my headshots look. Tomorrow will be different. It's about surrendering to PROCESS.
Here's to a better 2026. It'll take all of us embodying KINDNESS and LOVE for one another. Be that human.
