Dictators evolve when good people of all different beliefs and backgrounds stay silent.

This No Kings Day says we will not stay silent.
Just me blocking a bunch of accounts violating the Hatch Act, because I actually believe our federal agencies should be nonpartisan and work for the American people.
They really don't understand their power users, either.

Too true.

Mike Johnson: "The last time I checked, Americans have more freedom right now to express themselves and speak their minds after Republicans took over ... it is the Republicans who restored your right to share and speak your mind."

This, all this, and pass it on!
Don't resign yourself to living in constant discomfort just because it suits the comfort of others.
Thanks, this was the push I needed to get moving.

seriously though, y'all know you can get books other places right? RIGHT?
Everyone: I AM BOYCOTTING KINDLE

Me: cool, will you buy my books somewhere else at least?

It's the little imperfections in art that tell me you were thinking about someone here, a memory over there caused a hiccup in your lines, & an unexpected bit likely means you're currently in love. Machine art, being as filling as lens flare,is simply incapable of giving anyone gifts like that.

(Side note: all artists make stank face when they hit a groove, it's just that it's 12,000% less cool on writers and painters, hilarious af when dancers do it, & never laugh if you see a crocheter do it.)

Signal boost! Feel like I know some folks who could deliver on this.

Gods bless the inventor of the heated car seat, may all her days be comfortable.
I loved this view from a hike on Mount Charleston last year when my team and I ducked out of AIAA Aviation for an evening to explore.

I love this photo, even though it's not perfectly crisp. Someday, I want to recreate it in ink and colored pencil.

This casual crosswalk photo of Playhouse Square turned out unexpectedly attractive.

I'm supposed to be cleaning the house today and working on back cover blurbs, but I'm locked out of my computer, on mandatory rest, and being held catpive.

So I'm going to subject you to photos I've been sharing on flickr in my free time.
