Part of the list of things I did to stay sane. Adopted a giant Ragdoll cat named Moose! He's 20lbs of love and head butts and sounds like an Ewok Wookie hybrid when he snores. We are healing each other one day at a time. #catsofbluesky #illustration #kidlitart

On our last night with Converse we saw the brightest star in the sky. We imagine Converse is a space cat now. 🐈‍⬛🚀🪐 #cats #blueskycats #catsofbluesky #kidlitart

Just a little side project where I'll be illustrating my attempts to stay sane(ish) while the supervillains do what they do.

Look. If AOC can do this and knit at the same time... you can make a few phone calls. I believe in you.

The calls are making a difference. Regardless, I promise YOU will feel better doing something than doing nothing. (Doomposting = doing nothing, btw.)
🧵 Blue folks in Red states, we really need you to call your electeds. Watch AOC.

✅ From your phone: 5 Calls even offers useful scripts to follow, based on topics. 5calls.org

✅ Hit 'em w/email them via: democracy.io

✅ Locate all your officials, fed, state (such as your AG!), local.:

This 3-post thread is based on a series of AOC Instagram stories she posted tonight, explaining the importance and value of calling your House Representative and Senators, EVEN/ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE REPUBLICANS.

Please watch and share.

They may seem intimidating, as one of the largest dog breeds, Irish Wolfhounds are affectionate, gentle, And great with kids. I remember seeing one every now and then in my old neighborhood in Ottawa and I was always blown away by their size! Day 7 of #doguary done!

My why? Making books for children is a radical action, b/c becoming literate is a radical action, b/c self identifying as a reader is a radical action, b/c reading with the explicit goal of gaining self knowledge is a radical action. These are radical actions b/c they literally change the world.
