📖We are often asked where you can find reliable vaccine information. It breaks our hearts to say it, but it’s no longer at CDC

The vaccine integrity project is a great source & has compiled recommendations from medical societies into 1 place for easier reference:

Question. I'm going to try a watercolor, which I have very little experience with. What should I use to sketch the scene? I suspect a graphite pencil would be too dirty.

Let's not forget this one. There are a lot of people in the U.S. right now living in fear.
Normal Rockwell's painting Freedom from Fear, depicting a man and women tucking their children into bed. The man holds a newspaper with a headline about "bombings" and "horror."

An orange cat sits on a brown paper bag, looking up at the camera, appearing innocent and angelic even though he is definitely not.

Before you make fun of or disrespect the Boomers/Greyhairs at the rallies, remember this is the generation that was shot at Kent State, beaten on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, tear gassed at the '68 Dem convention. They're not "cute," they're civil rights warriors.

First fire of the season.

No, I don't care how dated green marble is, I still love it.

A woman walks down a town road carrying laundry in a basket on her head. An animal follows her but I can't tell if it's a cat or a chicken.

To paraphrase someone else (unknown), I don't want AI to think for me, to create for me, so that I have more time to do the laundry and wash dishes. I want AI to do laundry and dishes so that I have more time to think and create.

Oil painting of a tree with fall colors next to a narrow dirt road. It is an overcast day, so maybe vampires could come out.

My favorite thing about Bluesky is the incredibly talented artists and creators who show up in my feed.

The second thing is liking, following, and commenting on someone's posts without realizing they're someone famous. Has happened a few times! ...I don't get out enough apparently.
