This clip has me thinking about people finally taking Trump's ownership of the narrative, enforced by the massive GOP media advantage, seriously.
Fox et al want people to believe LA is burning, terrible, overrun.
LA has a lot of people who are pretty good at communicating, who can show otherwise!

Completely bizarre to hear tv talk about sending in the military and then you see the actual pics of the protests and people are buying hot dogs and line dancing while the Nat Guard looks on in silent envy.

This Saturday I'll be at a Vintage Market in Dayton! The NATO summit is going on and protestors are going to be flying the balloon of the Mango Menace wearing a diaper😂 Not *at* the market lol, but fairly close by. I hope I can see it!

In addition to my planters, I also make these wood mushrooms. I adore making them, it's a slow process (so I don't actually make money from them lol) but it's very meditative.

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

It's Oddities and Curiosities Expo time! I leave in the morning for the weekend. I'm excited, but nervous. Will people still buy art in this economy? I'm keeping my prices low and just trying to spread joy.

That was a recent, but probably my favorite is my background photo dealio. Here's another! This is one of the most popular crafts I sell at the Oddities and Curiosities Expos.

I guess it would be helpful if I post some of my makes. My main gig is planters I make out of upcycled dolls. Today is "potting up day" so I'll have more to share but incoming are some examples.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.
Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.
