Are you overwhelmed but want to do your part and speak up? I know lots of people struggle with fear of phone calls. This could help.
I fed ChatGPT an article about the recent unconstitutional power grab by our incoming admin. I asked it to write 3 phone scripts to use for calling representatives.

![Script 1: Urgent Congressional Action Needed
Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I am a constituent from [Your City, State].
I’m calling because I’m outraged that the Trump administration has unilaterally halted billions—possibly trillions—of dollars in congressionally approved funding. This is an unconstitutional power grab that threatens disaster relief, education funding, small business loans, and more. Congress has the power of the purse, not the executive branch.
I urge [Representative/Senator’s Name] to take immediate action to stop this illegal maneuver. Will they publicly oppose this and push for legislative and legal action to restore funding?
Thank you for your time.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cnni7bsl5orsjlwypyg6tlce/bafkreiftrjwgpfwsjia5klsif7ytqwfqxvyxujxa4f57ns45vb6e7rp2zm@jpeg)
![Script 2: Demand Public Accountability
Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I live in [Your City, State].
I’m calling because Trump’s OMB has illegally frozen billions in federal spending approved by Congress. This is an authoritarian move that must be stopped. These funds are meant for critical programs—education, infrastructure, small businesses, disaster relief—and withholding them undermines both the Constitution and the American people.
Will [Representative/Senator’s Name] make a public statement condemning this and demand immediate reversal? I also urge them to push for legal action.
I appreciate your time, and I look forward to hearing what steps they take.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cnni7bsl5orsjlwypyg6tlce/bafkreig75op7fhhwtibtbir3cix63jg6qrxh64kvyfyqxqq3uye5ofvaly@jpeg)
![Script 3: Protect Democracy & the Constitution
Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I am a voter in [Your City, State].
I’m deeply alarmed that the Trump administration is illegally blocking congressionally approved funding. This is an abuse of power and a direct attack on Congress’s constitutional authority. If this stands, it sets a terrifying precedent for executive overreach.
What is [Representative/Senator’s Name] doing to fight this? I urge them to publicly condemn this move, demand immediate restoration of funds, and support legal action. Our democracy depends on holding the executive branch accountable.
Thank you. I’ll be watching for their response.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cnni7bsl5orsjlwypyg6tlce/bafkreigcqgwoolmfltesbg2mssvhksdjrrac7ktqcww7643q4knwlv62oy@jpeg)

As a professional designer, I would like to announce that I am breaking up with the Chocolate Box font and its similar rip-offs, and I think most others should, too. It’s been worn out and lost all its freshness. It’s become thoroughly basic-gauche, and I care too much for you to reserve comment. 1/

Trivial perhaps, but I finally have the bedroom I want, at least. No more beige bro wrinkling his nose at color and liveliness for me. The gold comforter and fuchsia curtains and bright fun rug can remind me of at least a few gains to come from an otherwise cruel situation. Long live color.

Adding a couple of #logodesign projects for local #asheville #northcarolina businesses to my blog. Here’s one. Both of my latest have hand-drawn elements, and this one has a block print vibe.

Lefties, progressives, and everyone with values sitting generally left of fascism need to practice extra vigilance about psyop/propaganda strategies like this in the coming years. Don’t let these chuckleheads confuse our sense of basic morality and justice.

#squarespace babes, halp? @insidethesquare.co *ahem* 😉 Is there a way to get rid of this line where the section background peeks through under a transparent PNG image block set to “fill”? See screenshot. Section border style is *not* active, and this isn’t the first time I have seen this. Thx 💜🌈

Ooh ooh, shortcuts to move layers
#squarespacetip there are some cool keyboard shortcuts that you can use when you’re editing fluid engine, like showing the grid, duplicating a block, and adding a text link. There are more, but these are my favorites… that also fit on the image 😅 Stay tuned for more 🙌

Omg y’all. I just made Thanksgiving soup with homemade turkey broth and A ROUX MADE FROM STUFFING. This is quite possibly the best idea I have ever had. It was unbelievable. See approximate recipe below.

Well, isn’t that convenient? Musk gets named to the fake department of DOGE, and suddenly NASA’s future is up for debate—just as SpaceX is poised to cash in. Funny how “efficiency” seems to mean redirecting public funds straight into private pockets.

Wish more people realised that for most art businesses, there's only one person doing all the work. Creating, shipping, admin, promotion, starting feuds with other artists, painting unflattering portraits of them into historical scenes, trying to poison them, it's all one person.
