Yes, yes it would. Every dollar matters to a small business. It’s just me working my ass off 6-7 days a week trying to put some good out there. Direct your anger to a billion-dollar company, not the small businesses living paycheck to paycheck.
Would a single day make that big of an impact

I just saw some posts about an economic blackout Friday, and oh no. I just opened my shop for the first time this year. As a small business, I can’t close it tomorrow I’m sorry 😔. I planned this a couple months in advance & it’s only open for 10 days.

My celestial crystal paintings sold in less than 5 minutes today 🥹. I was really doubting myself because although they’re pretty, they’re also quite different from my normal art. Gives me hope for all the random space-themed paintings I have planned this year!

First shop update of 2026 is tomorrow! Emails will go out at 2pm MST. I finished these in Nov, but it takes time to have my pieces photographed, test prints, & website set up. I plan these print drops way in advance. Sorry about the unfortunate timing 🫤. At least I can spread a little sparkle ✨

Threads rn is filled with people posting “rebel birds” that combine state birds with a Star Wars logo & it’s all genAI slop. They’re selling merch, stickers, shirts, ahahah I’m so very disappointed. Not like this.

•genAI is what the fascists use, don’t use or share that slop!

Also, the arctic vortex wandering south like this IS an indicator of climate change, as it is due to the destabilization of the jet stream and oceanic currents.
Yes, it’s cold across part of the United States today.
This does *not* mean the global-scale patterns of long-term warming linked to climate change are not happening.
The United States covers only 1.8% of the planet. And a few days is only 0.03% of the 30 years we average for climate statistics.

Behind every painting I show you is a lot of pain. I have a janky arm bone that has caused me wrist problems since 8th grade. I wear a brace & sleep in a cast. Sometimes my grip gives out. I dropped my iPad trying to sit it on the chair. It’s fine (in a case) but my Apple Pencil fell & snapped 😭

It feels so dumb being an artist right now, especially when I don't make anything super meaningful. I love what I do, it keeps me sane, and pays my bills. But like people are out there getting terrorized and I'm here like buy my trinkets, cause... they're pretty 🫤

Trump has been in office for one year. We at @nature.com did a deep dive looking at the administration's disruption of science in numbers.
Take a look—the numbers are staggering. By me, @dangaristo.bsky.social, Jeff Tollefson, @kimay.bsky.social, & help from @noamross.net @scott-delaney.bsky.social

Today I worked on the bottom rectangle all day. Just some lighter colors to add on the far left & more stars, then that one will be done. Need to get the rectangles all finished up soon so it can dry, then I’ll do a last layer on the greyscale! Sooooooon
