Photo of a man wearing a plain red t-shirt and an unzipped blue hoodie. He has eyeglasses and is wearing a blue striped beanie cap. Cataract update: I haven’t posted in a bit because things are in limbo. I’ve had multiple referrals fall through due to insurance and facility coverage issues, so for now I’m waiting on the next referral and don’t have a surgery date yet. The procedure itself isn’t what worries me. The primary stress is the financial side, with a minimum of about $2,000 out of pocket on top of regular bills. I know many people are dealing with far more urgent needs, so please know this: spreading the word or simply commiserating is more than enough. If you are able to help, support links are in my Linktree. If you’d like something tangible, my Linktree also points to where my prints are available, and my Etsy has both prints and digital mobile wallpapers like the samples shown. Thank you to everyone who’s offered support, in any form. It truly matters. Mockup of four mobile phones with lock-screen or mobile wallpaper samples. From left to right: 1. Two bearded men wearing winter coats standing in the snow kissing. 2. A gray tabby cat wearing a Santa cap and coat against a starry backdrop. 3. A British red telephone booth standing in the snow at night with a snowman standing nearby. 4. the face of "Big Ben" at night in London with hints of fireworks int he sky surrounding it.

There is no reason for this aside from racism, bigotry, and ignorance.

Minneapolis and its residents have been nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize by the progressive news outlet The Nation.

"[Minneapolis] has met and exceeded the committee’s standard of promoting “democracy and human rights, and work aimed at creating a better organized and more peaceful world.”"

get you a man who will lean into the bit.
Screenshot of a lighthearted text conversation. In blue text, the sender writes, “How is your day going? I'm headed to the gym for the first time in a month and I'm hoping an ambulance will not be involved in my day (I can't afford the copay) lol.” The reply in gray says, “Hahaha. Be careful.” Later, the blue text reads, “I took it somewhat easy. The paramedics can stand down.” The gray response says, “I will notify enloe they can start admitting into the ER again.” The final blue message replies, “I would appreciate that. lol.”

Hamnet
franksfilmreview.com/2025/11/30/h...

Visually, "Hamnet" is a feast for the eyes. Chloé Zhao’s direction is nothing short of masterful, elegantly capturing the rugged beauty of the English countryside and the intimacy of family life. Here's the review...

“By Design ”, 12” x 16” oil on canvas, Original and Prints available. A figure study today to exercise skills. Really, I view all my work as studies to learn from but with this one there was more intent.

Who do you think owns this car? I'll admit I had one specific artist in mind when I did this one several years ago but I've since been told there's actually more than one it might reference. I'll let you decide.
