This is what Democracy looks like!

Spotted in South Philly, “Be a patriot, protect your immigrant neighbors.”

Booker’s message was powerful and simple. Just do something. | Will BunchNow it’s your turn A senator's record-breaking speech showed Democrats, and America, that silence is not an option in the Trump era.

Thank you❤️

So frustrated by the way he's shifted, after supporting and rooting for him for so many years!!

This VR work, "Stroll", was only installed for a few hours, but it was so exciting to finally see it projected at this huge scale. Philadelic reception, transdisciplinary conference on psychedelics at University of Pennsylvania, October 2024. #vrart #vrpainting

North Woods by Daniel Mason & The Vaster Wilds by Lauren Groff were two favorites last year. Both creepy in very good ways.

Thanks, Mary!
