“From The Depths,” William Balfour Ker
“From the depths” by William Balfour-Ker. A lavish party of the wealth is interrupted by an upraised fist breaking through their dance floor; underneath we can see the entire party venue is built on the shoulders of the marginalized and lower classes.

If the GOP bill passes, a lot of folks who have grandma in a nursing home will need to take her back home. Do voters across the rural states this will impact the most understand that?

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode deficits

3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

If you are tired of Susan Collins wringing her hands and exclaiming how distraught she is, and how "concerned" and "troubled" she is by what is occurring on Capitol Hill, here is your chance to change that landscape.

A Good Person (The Human Spectacle)

#Art #Abstract #TextArt #Scratchboard #DigitalArt
Black and white abstract scratchboard drawing, vaguely resembling a landscape, digitally manipulated to add illegible handwritten text to create texture in the upper 3/4 of the canvas. The bottom is dark gray with black scribbling. Noise has been added to give it a grainy quality.

Close up of the torsos of two female nudes. The one behind (in purple) is lying on her back with one hand draped over her ribcage and the contours of stomach muscles and navel. The one in front (in pink and peachy tones) is lying on her side with her arm bent and one breast visible.

Qualia Clusterscape
“places to hide”
2025-06-27 00:15 UTC (Mid-dreaming)

#synthart #synthography #aiart #アート #kunst #arte #art #艺术 #fineart #abstractart #dreamscape #phenomenology #asemic
A qualia clusterscape produced during a lucid dreaming session. The composite visualization features various symbols and shapes grouped by theme and arranged by shared emotional tropism. Color has been eliminated in this example to enhance contrast, highlighting the interplay of texture and form traced by the theme within the dreams narrative. All labels are intentionally asemic to reduce bias artifacting. A black and white composite image depicting various hiding places. The image features a partially open door, a window with a curtain, a stack of boxes, and a small alcove. There are also abstract shapes resembling closets and under-stair spaces. Textures suggest rough surfaces and shadows, creating a sense of depth and concealment. Asemic labels, resembling indecipherable writing, are scattered throughout the composition. The overall composition evokes a fragmented impression of secretive spaces where one might hide.

It Looked Like an Accident (the human spectacle)
#Art #Painting #Acrylic #Abstract
The background is white glaze over a mostly blue background. On the left, a dark blue shape with red accents connects with a blue trail, suggesting skid marks behind a a vehicle. On the right, there is a red oval around a blue patch of underpainting with a larger form underneath it in red, yellow, and blue. Both are connected to the form on the left with broken lines. Composition was made by selective glazing.

Goodnight, friends.

"and I laugh and fall dreaming again / of the desire to show you to everyone / I love, / to move openly together / in the pull of gravity, which is not / simple" - from Poem II (Twenty-One Love Poems) by Adrienne Rich

I love you.
