A mocking image of Donald J. Trump, as a representative of the republican party illustrating that between the choice of "Fuck Them Kids" he and republicans are impartial between choosing to apply that phrasing "Figuratively" or "Literally" .

Trump has repeatedly broken laws . Why would he keep promises. See below the current example of the Hatch Act of 1939 being broken on www.fs.usda.gov 10/1/25

How is it making up stuff when posts like this actively pollute the study of history and only leads to subsidizing stereotypes of what's posted online flattening people of the Choctaw Nation into some weird stoic mess with 3 legs.
An image from 2024 release by the Choctaw Nation public health report. Choctaw Lighthorsemen ~1880 - in Western History Collections , University of Oklahoma Choctaw Senate, 1893 (663, Oklahoma Historical Society Photograph Collection, OHS). The image of two Choctaw men was sketched near Skullyville in the Choctaw Nation in 1853. The Choctaw in Skullyville decided to give to the Irish in their capacity as autonomous self-governing people. (Photo by Library of Congress/Corbis/VCG via Getty Images)

I really liked the poster . I tried to give a harder punch with that concept - Feel free to use it widely and without credit
poster announcing a rally for Trans visibility on Feb 22, 2025 at 2pm at Stonewall inn, NYC. Focused on the concept of Trans erasure by using a picture of the US Department of the interior national park service sign for the Stonewall National monument. All 'T's in all the words have been erased. The 'L's are fading from the text as a reference to backlash to the LGBTQ+ rights movement. The National park Service logo which traditionally shows a tall tree in a flourishing field with a buffalo in front of a snowcapped mountain also has those natural resources fading and blending into the background.

'sup?
Image of Erica Bottger's full banner on bluesky. Of a digital painting for the month of July filled with floating lily pads and their flowers . Rough ruby stones are sprinkled on top of the lily pads to provide contrast and represent the birthstone of July . The water, that the plants are floating on is dark and hazy and gives small incomplete glimpses of spotted koi fish swimming underneath.
