Destabilization of reality in the US is about to reach surreal heights. Protect your mind. Monitor stress levels. Do not doomscroll--it does not help. Be selective about when and how long you expose your brain to this. Do what you can when you can.

This is one of the most spectacular pieces of art I have ever seen
‘A Gilded Chain is Still a Chain’
I made this in tribute to the medieval Unicorn Tapestries. In the final tapestry the unicorn is imprisoned under a pomegranate tree that is dripping. I imagined if she escaped, she would want to destroy the tree and its fruits!

Good thread on helping Trans people
The news about the order banning Trans care (ostensibly for children, but can likely be extended or interpreted to all Trans people) makes me fucking sick.
I don't know what I can do long term, but for now: link me to reputable Trans orgs that I can reshare.

I’m taking a bird painting course from Dina Brodsky (insightsforartists.com) and it’s really getting me to practice my chops again. I forgot how much pleasure there is in observational drawing and working with ink and brush!
I can’t rave about her courses enough.
