We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

While we may face repercussions for this, the truth lies in the metadata. Memos to federal employees are being authored by individuals with ties to Project 2025. You can verify this yourself.

I object to the exploitation of, and the lack of respect for, human laborers…to the frantic commercialization of the many realms of daily life, … to the desecration of what is beautiful, to the celebration of what is venal, and to the ethical obtuseness of the king’s adoring enablers.

For something different. Alaska mushrooms! When I moved to AK over 15 years ago one of the first things I became fascinated with were the mushroom. I'm not an expert at naming them (I'm learning), but I have expert skills in laying on my belly to photograph them. Pro tip, wear rain gear.

Bones Rise, Beyond the Belly - Mixed Media on paper

Recently, I’ve felt creatively blocked, so I’ve turned to past work for inspiration. Revisiting concepts that didn’t quite land the first time and reworking them has been both a challenge and a lot of fun.
