This portrait study in oils is based on an image I found online. Couldn’t find the original source so I can’t credit them for the lovely image. Hope I’d be able to do it justice. #oilpainting #paintloosely #workinprogress

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.
I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

Super proud of Alex Eala!!! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Alex Eala has stunned former Miami champion Iga Swiatek 6-2, 7-5 to make the Semifinals of a 1000 for the first time.
An absolutely stunning upset, Iga came in a 95% favorite in the odds, but falls in the Quarters here.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

WCK is distributing sandwiches & water to residents in California who have been forced to evacuate due to wildfires. Tens of thousands of people have been displaced & we are working to identify areas of need while mobilizing our network of restaurant & food truck partners. #ChefsForCalifornia

Detail from my latest painting. No eyebrows and eyelashes yet, but I think I might be getting good at this realism thing.

This is not a Neil Gaiman quote, it's a quote from G.K. Chesterton (one of Neil's favorite authors) ALSO NEIL GAIMAN IS A SEXUAL PREDATOR.
I believe we're at 7 woman who have come forward, with 5 on the record in the past 6 months.

Will be muting all political related matters from here on out. Went here for the blue skies, rainbows, and butterflies; not toxic stuff I have no control over even if I spend an eternity posting and reposting about them.

Stepping back from our own personal experiences with Twitter and BlueSky, the massive exodus from one platform to another in a matter of days is really remarkable.
