It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.

I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!
Meanwhile, Elon wears t-shirts all the time. This was such a disgustingly obvious staged event intended to bully Z.
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

Wow. It’s like Colbert REALLY sees me. Always knew MapQuest would end up on late-night TV — just assumed it would be for absolutely ReFuSiNg to remove Toys “R” Us from our maps 🫡
“Lost & Found Meditation” is a walking labyrinth that morphs into a maze because ADhD people have trouble meditating. It debuted at Saint Louis Art Museum in October 2024 and is now touring based on requests. Wish to bring it to your organization? Check out MarthaValenta.com
Made more #ADHD #Valentines conversation hearts for the last day of Schlafly Art Inside at the Tap Room.

Hope to see you -

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect

Yay art share!!

Thanks so much. I’m a most of the time sculptor out of St. Louis. I use a lot of cardboard in my work.

Im currently working on this dinosaur piece. It’s a big one so it’s taking place in my living room.
