I wonder how different Dante's "Inferno" would be if he had experienced I-95 in South Carolina.

When Commish (@escalante.bsky.social) and Big Sky Brigit (@brigit.bsky.social) went to the Kibbie Dome, Brigit took her Super 8 camera. Only one video saved on the file from the trip, so we thought we'd provide the proper soundtrack to this surviving video.

Earlier this year I created twelve medical illustrations for Herbal Gut Health by Maria Noël Groves. Unique to this project, I adapted my digital illustration workflow to emulate the appearance of watercolors to match the traditional media used by the other artists whose work appears in the book.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

There should be no political violence, and all violence is political, and that's especially plainly true about gun violence in America

I don’t advocate violence of any kind, political or otherwise, on any side.
I also won’t be gaslit into believing a foul hate-monger was simply a regular guy with different views.

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.
Actually, Slavery Was Very Bad
The president’s latest criticism of museums is a thinly veiled attempt to erase Black history.
