I’m tired and already in bed, but I want to go paint. But I want to paint tiny paintings on tiny pieces of wood that I lost somehow. And so I’m laying in bed debating if I should go reorganize the basement, even though what I need to do is prepare for the class I’m teaching tomorrow.

The sign I made with my BFF for the 2017 women’s march in Washington is still unfortunately relevant. #pussygrabsback

Quiet piggy! Plus a few fruits and a witch. Sounds like a fun party.
Pen and ink, I think I digitally colored. 2017. I can’t believe Trump is still president.

Sometimes I remember that I can often just fix or alter something that I don’t like. I had this wood spoon that didn’t fit in the canister it came with, so I carved it down to size. Now it fits, and it feels much nicer to hold, and it’s unique to me. Enjoy knife ASMR noises if that is your thing.

Much of the time when people say “Jesus Christ” as an exclamatory they are not “taking the Lord’s name in vain”, as many evangelicals believe, but they’re saying the Lord’s name in the same way some would say “lord have mercy” or “God help us”.

Faith is not just belief, another misconception I think many people have. To have perfect faith is to surrender yourself to the current of God’s love and providence, and go where it takes you, despite the seeming impossibility or recklessness of the request.

I think that there is a really gross misunderstanding about what it means to be Christian, and it stems from a misinterpreting much of what Jesus is quoted as saying in the Gospels, and especially Paul’s epistles.

Wonder is why art and literature, music, acting, theoretical mathematics/sciences, and why religion exists. And it’s why LLMs exist.

Wonder is what makes us human. People say it’s art, or writing, or the ability to plan for the future that separates us from other animals, but I think humanity started with the ability to wonder.

Painting Tip of the Day:
Having trouble with edges - soft vs hard, lost vs found? Try these basics first. 1) Soften edges that turn into shadow. 2) Lose edges at the peaks of highlights. 3) Soften edges anytime an edge passes behind another. 4) Soften any edges that go off the frame of reference.

Another set that turned out pretty cute. This set I hand delivered to the buyer at a metro station in DC because it was so close to Christmas and I wasn’t sure it would arrive on time! #originalart #art #handmade #guitar #artists #acrylic #acrylicpaint #familyportrait #buylocal

A looong time ago I used to paint custom family portrait nesting dolls. I have a few blanks left, I’m considering painting them again, if there is interest. This set probably took me 50 hours altogether. 🫠 #acrylicpainting #art #artists #handmade #family #knitting #petportraits

1000 times this. It's the worst when writers or illustrators or filmmakers apply that to their own works. So fucking degrading.
No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

Honestly, good. Let the premiums sky rocket. Expose the absurd greed of the insurance industry. Expose the callous disregard for human life and health by those in power. If this is what they want, let them have it. The ACA was a bandaid, not a fix, at some point it needs to be ripped off.
Oh wow. Who could've ever seen this coming?

For good measure, some traditional art, a painting I made for my dad. A small copy of Christ Pantocrator. Acrylic on dollar store wooden panel. Not ideal, but worked after much sanding and many coats of gesso.

I know this is from a year ago, but OF COURSE WE ARE against new data centers. We don’t need more data centers. We don’t need AI.
Loudon county just had a land sell for a new data center where the land sold for over 6 million PER ACRE.

If stop MPRP folks are also against new data centers I would love to know.

Do we actually care about a living wages and safe working conditions? If so, why do we support the use of #undocumented workers in order to fill #labor shortages in fields that are low paying and dangerous, like farming and construction?
