This isn’t creeping conservatism being consolidated, but active and feral fascism.

And we have enough perspective to know that burns out fast. The only fascist states that lasted more than a generation had protection from larger powers. Still gone.

This will be hard, but it will not be forever.

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.

I haven't forgotten my raffle life just got hectic and I burned out real hard. I'll probably get to making something for it next weekend

Artist QOTD #1:

What art program/app do you use? Which is the one you started with and which is the one you are currently using?

Date doodle.

The other date we rinse and repeat a lot is collab painting dates. We paint with acrylic on the same canvas at the same time.

Its fun, my fiance isn't an artist but they tend to turn out silly and cute

Fish date!

My fiance and I regularly have what we call fish dates. Where we make a pot of tea to share and try different kinds of tinned fish with crackers.

Doodle in my sketch book inspired by last repost

I have struggled with my connection to art for years now. My fiance has been such a good influence on me encouraging me to spend time on my passion and being the positive feedback and connection I need from art since the internet stopped giving it to me.

Just spent like $100 on gouache and brushes. I'm so excited, but I ordered online. I want them now!

I get so sad and overwhelmed trying to find inspiring artists these days. IDK why I just feel like it's harder to find people who inspire me. Not that I don't think they're there I just don't know how to find them with how the internet has changed :(
