Artist, urban sketcher, accidental techie, animal and nature lover, dull vegan, SF Giants fan, here for my fellow sober trudgers, book nerd. Easy does it/rule 62. Fascists are worth fighting. Democracy is worth protecting.

A piece I made in 2022. Time to trot it out again due to shameful US “leaders” and their cowardice and treason. “The World With Ukraine” paint, pen on vintage atlas page #ukraine

This is me now, wondering how this nasty unnamed thing will rip up my lungs or not, suspecting the CDC can’t help and a lot of us are suffering. Day 6 and painful all-night cough - had to use asthma inhaler for first time in 4 years. Wtf
I have been sick for a week and I just read about "something going around" in a subreddit, which I guess is how I get my information now that the CDC is officially spending the next four years determining when and how microscopes became gay.

DOGE cut off Social Security Administration spending so now workers have to use their own money to buy office supplies.

Meanwhile Elon Musk makes $8 million every single day from the government.
How DOGE’s grand plan to remake Social Security is backfiring
The agency is abandoning an initiative aimed at preventing fraud, the latest example of a failed effort by Elon Musk’s disruptive cost-cutting team.

I only need 5 minutes to complete my financial disclosures every year cause I own zero stocks. The same should be true for all members of Congress. We must ban Congressional stock trading.

Trump was just negotiating with Saudi Arabia, the country responsible for 9/11 and dismembering a Washington Post journalist. And took a $400 million bribe from the country that finances Hamas, famous for its hostage taking. So take a seat, you crazy, white supremacist bitch.

It's hard to adequately describe how scary it is to watch mainstream political journalists barely push back against a sitting U.S. president accepting a $400M plane from a foreign government that would literally be designated as an emergency command-and-control center during a nuclear war.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

The new Pope didn't tweet once in 2024. In 2025, he's posted 5 times, in which he:

- Criticized JD Vance's views on Catholicism and Jesus
- Posted an article opposing Trump's immigration policies
- Retweeted twice about the Pope's health
- Retweeted a criticism of Trump & Bukele's laughter at KAG.

New dog Owen’s eyes say it all. He winces a bit when we touch him - I’m sure you can guess what that means. We’ll shift that story with time & some focused TLC. He’s so gentle & kind & hopeful. Looking forward to seeing him exhale and realize that Life is good. You deserve the best, Owen.
