I was raised during the tail-end of the Cold War. I have a healthy distrust of the CIA, NSA, FBI because of their actions domestically and abroad. Now I hope there’s some old spies still alive that aren’t happy about a foreign billionaire who is attempting to usurp the US constitution. #arrestelon

Agriculture has been a defining characteristic of Humanity for over 100,000 years. You can grow some fucking basil in a pot.

If you join ICE, you should never get to eat good Mex, TexMex, Southwestern, Sonoran, or any other variation of delicious Latin American food ever again. Baloney on white bread with Miracle Whip for you for all eternity. #ICE

The Right has an amazing ability to co-opt symbols and change their meaning forever through repetition and conformity. Resurrection is nearly impossible. As an artist, art history fan, and designer, its fucking annoying to see a visually powerful sign or logo get ruined so easily.

I use found/salvaged lumber to build panels, supports, and picture frames. I am a carpenter to pay bills, have lots of scrap wood as a result. Anything larger than 6”x6” usually gets a coat of gesso. #foundobjects
