This new project of mine is fantastic but hot damn. I am le tired.
Yes. Because being ignorant of the data means they can say "we didn't know" or "see we are doing better, there is no data to say otherwise".

Follow the science, not the dumbass.
Follow the truth, not the lies.
Face down fascists, stand up against authoritarianism.

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.
I'm alive. Like many of you though, I am finding it difficult to find my creative juices while figuring out how to live and stand up against the dystopian hellscape attempting to form around us.
Art will come after. or during. WHO KNOWS. Art will art when art decides it will art.

Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok
Today's agenda:
1- Reflect on MLK day, and what we as individuals can do to continue to support equal rights during this weird ass time in our society.
2- stay warm and avoid the negative temps outside
3 - read my book
4 - eat cheese (probably)
First off - love to see #BookSky trending up.

Second and totally not least - Storygraph is FABULOUS.
Ok #booksky, let’s talk.

👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books.

👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!
I was sick and too tired to remember to do it here - here's my belated 2024 Art vs Artist.

Wait what, it's 2025?

Already?

The heck.

Revising the original MonsterXChef, now #1 of a 7 piece series I'm working on.

Just a 8 foot ghost fish up to no good.

Say hello to Lophius, the Demon Fish of the Deep. He likes people who take long walks on the beach alone, souls of drunk sailors, and stormy nights.
