Loving the sides of this painting. Since they are hanging so high up the wall; the bottom edge is highly visible.

Really big floral painting (4ftx5ft) for our home. Used a giant snippet roll for the vase. #abstractfloral #art #fingerpainting

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

Cleaned out my little flower garden for the year and made mono prints of the last seed pods on exam paper. These will bring a nice memory with them when I am making art over the winter. #gelliarts #gelliprint #gelliplate #botanicalprint #seedpods #exampaper

The US US discovered debt as a natural resource around 2000, and has been exporting it ever since.

Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

Section 5 Point 10 is a doozy.
The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.
Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

In case anyone was curious about the Kuretake Granulating Watercolors I just swatched them. I really love how they react with each other (bottom right) and I can see using the Aurora Orange all the time as a fancy brown. Ditto for the blue. And the vividness of the violet cannot be overstated.

When he showed up to an immigration meeting in Memphis, Kasper Eriksen thought he was on the verge of becoming a citizen.
Then ICE arrested the Mississippi father of four, not even giving him a chance to say goodbye to his wife, whisking him away to a prison.

Despite President Trump's promise of cuts, the federal government has spent about $220 billion more in his first 100 days than the same time period last year.

We just met with our contractor re roof/deck etc and he said with the tariffs and ‘uncertainty’ (regarding suppliers) the prices as of this morning jumped 22% across the board for things like roof shingles and all steel. 1/2

Do traders have Stockholm Syndrome? Rally today appears based on WSJ report that we might have "only" 50-65% tariff on Chinese goods.
That's still a huge effing tariff - roughly triple the average effective tariff rate on China last year. US companies still don't have margins to absorb this
