if you’re an artist who ever thought “what’s the point? The world is Hell and I should do something that matters instead”

even in an ICE detention center people will treat art as sacred, seek it out, and find joy and comfort in it. You aren’t making art, you’re making hope.
On her first day in the facility, Becky asked for a scrap of paper and a pen, and began to draw the inmates on the table next to her. She was immediately inundated with portrait requests. A Mexican woman called Lopez, who had a photo of her children stored on one of the iPads, told Becky she would buy her some paper and colouring pencils from the commissary if Becky drew her kids. She soon became the dorm’s unofficial artist-in-residence, with women huddling around the dirty mirrors to make themselves look presentable before they sat for her. They would decorate their cells with Becky’s drawings, or send them to their families. Lopez declared herself Becky’s manager. “She kept saying, ‘Becky, you need to ask for stuff in exchange. Ask for popcorn.’ And I’d be like, ‘Lopez, I don’t need anything.’ I thought, I’m here briefly, you’re stuck here a long time. I’m not going to take your food away from you.” A three by three grid illustrating in blue pen cartoon portraits of women in an ICE detention center. “Mrs Kailey,” Bana, Lewelyn, Ikram, Asil, ‘Auntie,’ ‘F.Z,’ Kseniia, and “P.A.” Two have light hair, three have glasses, one wears a hijab, one poses, and one holds a drink.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

"Fieldmouse Press and its
publication @solrad.bsky.social have
been a labor of love since
we launched. None of the
people who run the press or
the website get paid. We try to
make sure that the people who
do are the artists and writers
who make art and essays.

Consider donating to a good cause.

This really matters for our local schools. I've seen the state some of them are in.

Following the recent closure of Elizabeth Ziegler PS, Kit-Cen MPP Aislinn Clancy and I met with folks from WRDSB. The closure has highlighted broader issues with the current state of school infrastructure funding. Pls read our joint letter to Min of Education Paul Calandra. #OnPoli

Those are some interesting theories, and they sound pretty plausible.

Trump’s latest tariffs have sent the stock market tumbling and triggered warnings from economists about rising costs on everyday goods. So why is Trump willing to impose such chaos on both us and our allies? Is there a method to Trump's tariff madness? The Big Picture digs into the truth today.

Bribes. They’re known as bribes.
A tweet from ununusual_whales @ununusual_whales with a breaking news headline: 'BREAKING: Business leaders are paying as much as $5,000,000 to meet one-on-one with the President Trump at his Florida compound, while others are paying $1,000,000 apiece to dine with him in a group setting, per WIRED.'

Legacy media is sleepwalking us into fascism.
A tweet from Carole Cadwalladr warns of an alleged illegal power grab in the U.S., calling it a "digital coup" led by Elon Musk. Below the tweet is a screenshot of The New York Times front page with headlines about Musk's team gaining access to Treasury payment systems. Large red text over the image reads, "IT'S A COUP."

Clovers! Very proud of finishing this one. Based on some super cute photos of a friend's cat that just fit this painting idea I had perfectly.
Can you find any four-leaf ones? 🍀 #art
