Just a bunch of science nerds coming together at the Kentucky Capitol to hold our government accountable!

With my cardboard sign "Science is strengthened by diversity" I stood alongside my fellow Berean @sarah-hall-ky.bsky.social for science because SCIENCE IS FOR EVERYONE! #standupforscience2025

This book is banned by the Trump Administration. It's about a young girl coming to terms with her freckles.

A friend of mine gave me this book 15 years ago because it reminder her of me. It's greatly influenced my work as an illustrator and is very near and dear to my heart.

My heart is with the people of Eastern Kentucky today as they relive the trauma of what happened during the floods of 2022.

Resharing this illustration I made in response to those floods inspired by an actual photograph.

Sending love and hopeful this rain will finally subside.

A collaborative poem from a family game night. It’s too good not to share.

AI…AI…AI…RUN!
Elon Musk
Greedy, disgusting, vile, gross
Egg toast
Burnt to a crisp
Shriveled up, erased from history

I'm walking with my 13 year old son across campus just as students are coming from the Black History Month convocation. He said "Wow. I have never seen so many people of color before."

Beautiful poetry by Christian J. Collier that grapples with with loss and death.

Here's an excerpt on of his poems "Leaving the Earth"

I'm not prepared for the doors to shut & lock.
I've so loved this sun-groomed globe,
each minute bit I've been served,
I fear letting go

My latest reading journal entry.

"Presence" by Amy Cuddy made some interesting points, but I couldn't help but feel that the author was pushing her claims too hard. This was even before I learned about the controversy around her research.

We are not okay. Our country elected a bully who manipulates the vulnerable, threatens potential allies, inflicts abuse on minorities, and neglects the needs of the people.

I made this art to acknowledge the pain so many are carrying right now.

Watch this next! A victorious and gut-wrenching narrative about a couple making their way in the world after surviving the Holocaust.

This story is about their fight for dignity against a wealthy family who exploits them at a time when they were most vulnerable.

With all the chaos in the news lately I decided it was time to introduce my teenage son to my favorite movie "Little Miss Sunshine".

In this film, everything falls to shit, and yet this family of imperfect individuals finds a way to rally together and radically care for one another.

I wince every time audiobooks mispronounce Appalachia. Most people simply don't know, so I spend a lot of time gently correcting people.

As we say in the Berea College Appalachian Center, "If you say App-uh-lay-sha I'll throw an APPLE-AT-CHA!
