I realize the main plot of American Canto is how a journalist detonated her career in service of an infatuation but the actual consequence of those decisions will be felt in babies that die from Hepatitis because RFK Jr wants them to die & is refusing to use the state to mandate lifesaving medicine.

While I absolutely understand where it’s coming from, the seeming resurgence of magical healing is worrying me. And yes, I’m sure your particular thing calls for that to happen for good reason but what if it…didn’t. What would that story look like and why might it be important.

Here is a corrected version of it. It should have any and all typos taken care of - but feel free to point out any! I want this to be squared away before I make any prints! Thanks, #JewSky for your enthusiasm!
A spelling-corrected version of my previous illustration: Hebrew calligraphy in dark green stretches in lines across the image. Negative space makes room for a simple representation of an inflatable frog costume with a blue bandana. That shape consists of the English translation of the Hebrew, in a lighter green, and in much smaller text. -- Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.

Make it $700 per week per person.

Oh, and index it and Section 8 to the rate of inflation.

I want my taxes feeding kids, not killing them.
