one thing I am very proud of is that I've gotten really consistent at putting alt text. tips

1. describe the focus/importance FIRST, then extraneous details.

❌ "a blue sky and green grass. in the middle of the grass is an apple"
✅ "a red apple in the middle of some grass, a blue sky overhead"

So excited to share!
My Knight of Cups will be part of Valkarie Gallery's upcoming group show "ARCANA: Painting the Fates".
(I'll share the final painting later ;D)

If you can get to Lakewood, CO between June 14 and July 6, check it out! I'm only one of many FANTASTIC artists showing work there.

The baptismal tub font at St. Mary's Church in Bucknell, crafted from Wrekin quartzite, displays a fascinating blend of styles. Its unique face carving is considered early Norman in origin, while other carvings, including the interlacing patterns, are believed to be Saxon.

really eager to see how the tenure review committee interprets the course eval i got that just says "10/10, no notes. Ate and left no crumbs." and absolutely nothing else. i hope it makes it into whatever official recommendation they make when i'm up for review.

What is UP today?!

There is a "10 year ban on regulating anything to do with AI" before the House Committee.

Absolutely not! Call and write your reps and tell them why a total lack of regulation for the plagiarism machine is not in Americans' best interests.
Update: The TERRIBLE 10-Year Ban on State AI Regulations advanced House Committee. What does this mean?

It means we BLAST the HELL out of their phones! Call your House Members AND Senators today! Called a few days ago? Call again!

Tell them NO on 10-year State AI Regulation Ban!

If it walks and talks like eugenics, it is eugenics. Nothing “soft” about it.

I have never had a single bit of contact with Nicholas Whyte other than observing his conduct in fandom, but that observation has led me to conclude his professionalism, ethics, and commitment to fandom are such that if he is resigning from Seattle 2025, something is very, very badly wrong.

So, I know that the Met Gala gives big Hunger Games energy. That analogy is warranted given everything going on in the world.
However, I’d like to take a moment to gently remind people that the event really does support artisans, public history, and preservation. It’s not just about celebs.
