About DMs:
1. Sorry if I assume you’re a robot.
2. I don’t like soliciting DMs.
3. Exceptions: I will absolutely listen to your new punk/twee/goth/shoegaze/jangle pop/experimental rock track. And I will read your book if you pledge to read mine… if and when it comes out.

The ArtMix at the Crocker Art Museum was fun. I made an absolutely hideous Frida Kahlo at the crafting table.

At today's Draw Your Stress Away session, I took a little risk and pulled out the charcoal pencils that I bought forever ago. I'm not super comfortable with the medium yet, but I'm glad I challenged myself. #drawyourstressaway #brushtime #artsky #drawing

Forgot to post my Draw Your Stress Away sketch. This month we learned how to draw glass, a skill that has always eluded me. #drawing #drawyourstressaway #artsky

It’s usually the rule that I can never find the colored pencils in time for a Draw Your Stress Away session. Now the only thing keeping me from producing vibrant drawings is the fact that I’m colorblind 😵 #drawing #solstice #art #cats #christmastree

One major problem with studying the ancient writings of America is that none of them are named like “the mythology of Oaxaca” or anything that makes sense. They get named “The Paris Codex,” “The Codex Nuttall,” & “The Dresden Codex”

I’m no longer a Christian, but I grew up in a church that imagined Jesus as a figure of radical love and opened its doors to everyone. This article is a nice reminder that this vision of #Christianity still exists in the world.

Trump’s wrecking-ball approach to America has a precedent: the evangelical perversion of Jesus’s message of radical love to one of hate and aggression

Another relaxing session at Draw Your Stress Away. This is a chill guided drawing session that happens live over Zoom. Pumpkins were today's subject. That rough looking bird on the stem is a nightjar, which I added for an extra challenge. #drawing #art #nightjars #pumpkins

This is why we don’t have hover cars yet. The business model for all new technologies is “make it addictive.” If it doesn’t foster dependency, stockholders aren’t interested.

The narrative for the last year has been that Democrats still don't get why they lost in 2024. If there's a lesson from last night, it's that Republicans still don't get why they won. The people asked for cheaper groceries, Trump focused on immigration and culture wars. That's why he's losing.
Democrats had a big night. Here are 5 takeaways from the 2025 elections
Democrats had a good night, winning major races including governor's races in Virginia and New Jersey and a redistricting ballot measure in California, while also confronting the future of the party.

One of those books I'll remember liking more than I did. I could talk for hours about the world of Paradys, its history and monsters, its gender nonconforming characters, but I often felt detached from the protagonists, making parts of the book feel like a homework assignment. #books #booksky

If you don't plan to read all 39 Hercule Poirot books, make space on your TBR shelf for Sad Cypress. With courtroom drama and a possible death sentence at stake, it's a departure from Christie's formula. The solution caught me off guard, but it felt like a puzzle piece snapping into place.

Columbus' voyage wasn't just about exploration, it was about enriching the Spanish Crown at all costs. When he realized that he hadn't discovered a route to Asia, he resorted to enslaving and brutalizing the Taino people to make a profit. If we must memorialize him, let's not gloss over his legacy.
Trump issues a Columbus Day proclamation to 'reclaim' the explorer's legacy
President Trump said "left-wing radicals" have tried to tarnish Columbus' legacy, and the proclamation is a way to preserve it. Some experts say it's a way to erase the heritage of Native Americans.
