My painting “Symbiosis”. In the middle is a carnivorous Sundew plant, their small glands emit a sticky sweet attractant to catch insect prey. At first glance, the sundew & frogs seem devious, but there is an element of cooperation in the web of life.

"Please retweet. I'm still at $20 and I'm going to have put in an Uber eats order so that I don't end up in the hospital. I drank the last of my maple syrup around 7pm to raise my glucose but it's dropping again.

If you take any photos of people, have them put their signs over their faces, or use something that TOTALLY blocks their face like an emoji before you share it. No blurs- there's a possibility it can be unwound.

By all means, go protest this weekend. But BE SAFE, listen to experienced organizers, DON'T RSVP, WEAR A MASK, and turn biometrics off on your phone if you must bring it.

And if you're arrested protesting in IL, I will represent as many people as I can pro bono. Email me at [email protected].

As humans heat the planet, largely by burning fossil fuels, more people are dying in extreme heat. Their deaths are often recorded as accidents or attributed to other conditions that heat exacerbates. This piece tells the tragic stories of people who died preventably in extreme heat in Phoenix, AZ.

Americans are dying from extreme heat. Autopsy reports don’t show the full story

Official reports are likely to overlook heat’s role in a death. As US temperatures rise, experts say the true toll needs to be counted

I'm going to keep sharing my article for a week. If you would like me to stop doing that, please hit my tip jar.

I have a VERY big bill I have to pay through no fault of my own, and if you could help me with it, I would be grateful.

I've just wrapped up a huge trilogy of articles (like 40k words)

if you like my writing, this month is REALLY urgent, as I need to raise a TON of money to pay my tax bill, which the state is making me pay early because, I shit you not, I did my taxes. Apparently a change to the balance, like filing taxes/extensions is bad

I'd seen the reporting around Keira Knightley's awful response but wow the video makes it... even worse??? It's so dismissive and callous and that horrible little laugh??? like what the hell?? And the smarmy, "I'm very sorry" in the least apologetic tone I've ever heard in my life. Jfc.

The thing that gets me about actors responding like this whenever they’re asking about JKR is that they always say “we need to learn to agree to disagree ^_^” as if trans people are the ones leading the campaign, when we’re just trying to live our lives while JKR posts about trans hate 24/7

I quit two books and two video games this week and I'm usually a person who finishes stuff, and it's making me feel bad for some reason.

Like we have finite time on this world but I feel guilty about it or like, worried I'll never like media again or something.
