A sweet kitty sleeping on my knee, snow we got a few days ago, and my backyard sassafras looking pretty before that latest cold snap took its leaves.🍂

Until the end of the government shutdown, our campaign will be donating $2,500 a month to a food pantry in the Ninth District.

And to my fellow candidates, I challenge you to do the same:

"Olivia" is inspired by
the woodlands of the Eastern United States, Olivia's garden is lush, cozy, and peaceful.
Birds are often chirping, chipmunks scurrying, and moths can be found at night, hovering about. Follow the path near the Sassafras tree, and you just might find some strange secrets...

My art will be on display at Ijams Nature Center in Knoxville, Tennessee, USA, in December. Most of these artworks will feature botanical paintings I’ve created depicting our native flora and fauna. I really hope you all get a chance to visit the exhibition. 😊

Happy to pass along that Robby was released from custody a few hours later. I'm guessing that a lawsuit will be considered.

Very straightforwardly detained by secret police for speech. I honestly don't know what establishment figures are telling themselves any more to avoid cognitive dissonance over this shit.
ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

A sweet little Carolina Wren + my Sassafras painting. What’s not to love?

P.S.: I think the wren is snacking on a cocoon or chrysalis…maybe…

Whatever these asters are, I love them. I thought they were Late Purple, but I’m not sure.😅😂🤷🏼‍♀️

Recently:

1) American Beautyberry being a beauty
2) A new book I finished and I loved it! It’s a cozy spooky mystery involving a gardening plot!
3) Caterpillar lurking near the threshold
4) a mantis. I think it’s the Carolina one.🤞🏼 I hope so. It’s on Ptelea trifoliata in the back garden

Thank you to everyone that showed up to the Smart Yards Festival on Saturday! I’m so glad I got to meet some of you in person. It was a great success and a fun day. We also got lucky and only got a few sprinkles and a few cracks of thunder. Nothing major! Then the weather cleared up.🥰

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.
