Artist, writer, cat co-owner, and the friendly ghost beneath every bed.

Art is slow, but expect a lot of politics, horror, art, and cat posts!

(if I ever forget to add alt feel free to tell me.)

BTW,

I follow artists, journalists, scientists, and really any cool folk.

Because I’m hopeful and curious I do sometimes follow people who aren’t as left.

I’m an inconsistent poster.

I’m just an unknown artist who reflects on history, family, and the absurdity of horrors we all live in.

What a way to leave more kids behind just all for some racist shitty greedy assholes.

What’s going to happen to the continually disenfranchised Texans? Education was already getting hit there.

The lack of access just keeps growing with the income inequality.
Abbott vows to clear path for Turning Point USA chapters at Texas schools
Texas is home to more chapters of the young conservatives group founded by Charlie Kirk than any other state and there have so far been no such complaints.

I wish the people who initially let these assholes ruin the environment and run amok were all alive to see what their greed created.

Unsure if they’d feel bad, though, as those still alive and their descendants don’t seem to give a shit.

Okay, friends and internet neighbors, I have a surgery date of 12/31. That’s right, I’m going into 2026 with no belly button.
I want to clear another $750 of this GFM so I can rest in January. Can you help me do that?

I have no legal expertise whatsoever, but I'm pretty sure that this is not at all what the Supreme Court is supposed to do.
Justice Gorsuch: Is it possible--"just maybe"--that we're setting our sights far too low and we should be blowing up many more structures of modern government?

The Federalist Society judicial philosophy since Bush v Gore writ large.
Holy shit this back and forth between Kagan/Alito/Jackson/&the SG.

Kagan: Doesn't your logic mean a whole raft of other agencies must be invalidated?
SG: Yes, but that's not being litigated right now
Kagan: So what?
Alito: What if we just want to say "but maybe don't apply our logic elsewhere?"

I know this is different for everyone, but I have a legit question:

When you're just wanting to vent and be heard, and not looking for a solution, what is something someone has said or did, that made you feel heard and able to express yourself?

Also if anyone has any resources, I'd love a link!>

This is bullshit.
ICE continues to destroy lives.
SDPD leadership needs to decide what part of history they want to be in.
The officers responding should be intervening on behalf of the public, not the thugs violating the rights of others.

With all that money.

And all that... human intelligence and ingenuity pouring into... this.

Literally this... is as good as it gets on today.

And remember what Musk and them told us about A.I. and robotics just... fuck... last year, but certified go back in three to five year chunks.

If the artist has to fight by himself he will always lose. Maybe it's epic, poignant, or a seminal work, but he's still dead or disgraced.

I mention this mostly because the Trump administration is compiling a list of enemies of liberty or some such bullshit.

We did this before.
It went poorly for artists.
