I know everything feels grim right now but let's be realistic. These people are idiots. They're going to tank their economy. They're going to fuck-up every deal they sign. They're going to leave America looking shattered and deranged. And all those who supported them will look as idiotic as they are

I just got "conservative" and "confederate" mixed up in my head, then realized they have a lot in common anyway so does it matter what word I use?

Trump insisted Obama was born in Africa and now has a guy who’s literally from Africa running everything.
It’s almost as if it was just racism. It’s always just racism.

I've had app blockers on my Insta and FB for about a week now. Do I feel better about the world? No! But my anxiety is significantly better and I am getting more stuff done because I'm not spending significant amounts of time doom scrolling.

I'm trying out something new today, and painting on a copper panel. This is a little Roly Poly Rancher guiding his herd of isopods through the garden at night. I can't wait to add color to this one!

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
