@kenjennings.bsky.social Thank you for answering my question about what kind of art you liked at the taping this week. After the taping I went to the Getty and was quite moved by a Cezanne hanging there. As a painter I like a couple Impressionists too. Sorry for making you think I was judging you!

Avengers Doomsday is going to have some of the MCU characters following Dr. Doom and I question any writer who created a scenario in which Steve Rogers is like "oh your name is DOCTOR DOOM, great let me get my costume lfg."
Maybe he's reassured by the fact that Doom *actually* has a PhD?

Hey everyone, America is in need of dire change. I painted an indelible image for the time - Lady Liberty self-immolating as an act of protest - and if you want to demand change, do as the good doctor says and give a lesbian money.
Art from @avaelaine.bsky.social that you can wear that really speaks to “The Moment” we’re in. Buy it (or posters, prints, etc.) here: avabagleystudios.com

HELLO this workshop has been rescheduled to March 3.
I planned a workshop at @merrypindc.bsky.social on protest art a few months back before everything has gone to hell and I'm writing the lecture outline when I really just want to write "ART IS SCREAMING." Anyway assuming we're not snowed out, it's Tuesday at 18:30.

God I love "Deacon King Kong" so much. @jamesmcbride.bsky.social if that really is you, I just want to say that the saddest thing about reading this book is, I'll never read it for the first time again.

Hearing Neil sing "... and I'm gettin old" hits a lot differently now than it did when I first encountered his music at age 12. This is a perfect song.

If you have something you don't enjoy doing, try thinking of it like an art project. Hate to cook? Edible art. Anxious at parties? It's a secret improv show only you understand. DIY home renovations? Sculpture. Have to clean your house? Mixed media piece with a performance element.

Listen I know it's goofy as hell but The Punch Dimension is dope and I know the MCU X-Men won't lean into it but, nerds, that one's just for us. The real ones know. #cyclopswasright #cyclops #xmen #bandname

Making Batman into a goth Iron Man only makes sense if he covers the lower half of his dang face. What do you mean he has all this tech built into his suit and he just has his chin raw-doggin it infront of an old guy with a gun that can freeze you to death

So, I made a painting called "The Moment" and it's very good, and now you can buy reproductions of it on various media www.zazzle.com/collections/...

Fuck JKR. Buy trans books.
On that note:
Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.
Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.
Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

republicans calling any judge they disagree with an “activist judge” is great framing from a political perspective and democrats should absolutely co-opt that language about far right judges

If this isn't a PERFECT metaphor for this administration, I don't know what is.
The Boeing 737 that logged thousands of miles last year as JD Vance’s campaign plane before he was elected vice president is being used by the federal government to deport migrants to several Central American countries, according to public aviation logs and a group that tracks the flights.

I'm not religious in any way, but I do hope the New Pope, much like other famous Chicagoans, hates Illinois Nazis.
