My piece “Ducks in a Pond, Mill Creek Marsh”, displayed in the front window of Louise & Jerry’s Tavern during the Hoboken Art Walk, October 2025.

art.monospace.com/ducks-in-a-p...
Framed landscape painting titled “Ducks in a Pond, Mill Creek Marsh” displayed in the front window of Louise & Jerry’s Tavern during the Hoboken Art Walk, October 2025. The painting shows two ducks resting on calm green water bordered by marsh grasses. The artwork is seen through the tavern’s glass window, layered with reflections of glowing Edison bulbs, neon Heineken signage, and the busy street outside with art walk tents and visitors, creating a vivid contrast between the quiet marsh scene and the lively Hoboken street atmosphere.

A photo of a tabby cat with green eyes sitting on a glossy wooden floor. The cat is illuminated by warm sunlight coming from the right, which creates a large, dramatic shadow on the bright orange wall behind it.

conservatives used to mock anti-vaxxers as clueless libs but as soon as it became associated with the right it took over the party and became a mainstream threat to public health

Het fascisme van onze tijd kondigt zich zelden aan met laarzen en vlaggen. Vaker verschijnt het in de gedaante van spreadsheets, coalitieakkoorden en de geruststellende taal van het redelijke midden, waarin elke politieke keuze wordt gepresenteerd als onvermijdelijk.

A close-up, high-angle view of a large collection of miniature landscape paintings, arranged in a tight grid on a table. Each painting is done in acrylic on a 4x4 inch canvas panel. The paintings depict various outdoor scenes, including wooded forests with dappled sunlight, tranquil lakes and rivers, sandy beaches, cloudy skies, and dramatic sunsets. The lighting highlights the texture of the paint and the overall arrangement, suggesting a larger mosaic or display of small artworks.

“Huuu zal zo vaart niet lopen”

Ja, dat zeiden een hoop hele deskundige mensen afgelopen november ook over de tweede termijn van Trump.

Het loopt wèl degelijk zo vaart. En erger.

A framed black-and-white ink painting displayed at an outdoor art booth. The artwork depicts a small two-story corner building with a flat roof, large windows on the ground floor, and trees behind it. A road and a railroad overpass run alongside the building. A small handwritten sign on the frame reads “FREE — if you can guess where this is…”. Other framed landscape paintings hang in the booth in the background.

A dramatic painting of a sunset over a body of water. The sky is dominated by intense yellow and orange light at the horizon, transitioning to dark blue and gray clouds overhead. A dark silhouette of a tree-covered hill is visible between the sky and the water, and the bright light reflects intensely on the dark surface of the water.

been having too many people blaming Americans for the abuse we are enduring right now and they seemed to get really upset when you point out that they are basically siding with the abuser in a domestic abuse situation

America has been under attack from these monsters for 50 FUCKING YEARS

A loose ink-and-wash sketch of the Port of Bayonne showing large gantry cranes unloading a container ship. The cranes form a dense tangle of black lines, while the ship is rendered in dark tones with reddish hulls. Soft gray washes suggest overcast sky and water.

I missed the start of #artAdventCalendar yesterday (I was too busy artsing) so here’s a photo of Fritz checking a sketch I did of Desmond’s Tavern a while ago.

Today I learned that Wilhoit's Maxim— "Under conservatism, there are in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, and out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect"— was enshrined in Nazi Germany under the "Dual State Theory."

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.
Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

Young men nowadays are not more conservative than before. If anything, that’s a distortion perpetuated by focusing too much on what happens in adolescents’ online spaces.
roderikrekker.bsky.social Roderik Rekker @roderikrekker.bsky.social · Nov 16
(10/10) Altogether, this study challenges claims of a generational rise of conservative men. Like the young men and women who came before them, adolescent boys and girls in the 2020s are set to converge in their political attitudes as they mature and develop into adults.
