I produced many paintings and drawings of Portsmouth and Southsea but I won't put loads of them on here all at once. Here's a watercolour that was done on a little beach at Sally Port, Old Portsmouth and you can see the masts of the Warrior in the distance

We did it! We got enough signatures to force a vote on extending ACA subsidies. Imagine how furious Mike Johnson is going to be when we pass this!

Now is the time to pressure your Members of Congress and help us get it done!

IUPAT President @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social is right:

That's gonna go up to $30k a year, which means your premium is going to increase $1,500 a month. That's crazy. People are not gonna buy the insurance"

Photos of the studio at the end of the garden but these can give a false impression that it is moderately large. It isn't and I keep tripping over things and failing to keep it tidy. However I wouldn't want to be without it (the 2nd photo is before I painted the walls white)

Warner Bros. Discovery told shareholders Netflix’s deal was better than Paramount’s offer, urging them to reject the latter.
