Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

All this inspired by one of the nurses complaining about this exact thing as I was being put under for my endoscopy earlier today.

I know I rarely post art on here, currently my creative juices are channeled into fiber arts and I’m okay with that.

Honestly it minimizes the decades of hard work drawing everyday and years of schooling I have done to make me the artist I am

I lowkey hate when people tell me they wish they could draw. Bitch you can, you just don’t have the mental fortitude to keep doing it even when you suck until you (WILL) improve.

I draw ugly shit all the time. It’s quite literally part of the creation process.

A thread well worth reading about the demolition of the White House

We’ve received a lot of questions about Trump’s demolition of the White House East Wing.

Here’s how the process is supposed to work:

Ryan Coogler says he’s rebooting ‘The X-Files’ for his mom, a major fan of the show, and she’s already read some pages: ‘She’s fired up.’

I don't care if the no kings rally was cringe or ineffective in creating change compared to grassroots organization, the main point, I feel, is to convince every day people that change is actually possible.

I don't care about jaded activists. I care about the folks protesting for the first time.

Thank you!!! This yarn is just a joy to work with!

I have a tendency to always pick complicated projects and after this I think I’ll have to be intentional about incorporating a simple project going forward

Also, remember, apathy is the enemy. Authoritarians want you to give up in advance.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”
