A spelling-corrected version of my previous illustration: Hebrew calligraphy in dark green stretches in lines across the image. Negative space makes room for a simple representation of an inflatable frog costume with a blue bandana. That shape consists of the English translation of the Hebrew, in a lighter green, and in much smaller text.

Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.

Here is a corrected version of it. It should have any and all typos taken care of - but feel free to point out any! I want this to be squared away before I make any prints! Thanks, #JewSky for your enthusiasm!

When I’m very pissed off I like to calm myself down by drawing horror art of Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak. It’s therapeutic AND free.

Here is the product of my anger management so far (1/3)

Otacon, sitting at a computer asks Snake: "what kind of music do you like?"
Snake: "uhhh Johnny Cash?"
Otacon: "oh, then you're gonna LOVE this"
Otacon then pulls up a youtube video called 'Hatsune Miku sings Ring of Fire'

Did you know New Zealand and other south-west Pacific islands have LEAF-VEINED SLUGS?!

Unlike their omnivorous European relatives, these unique leaf-mimicking slugs eat only fungi. They breathe mainly through the skin of the back, which is kept moist by secretions passing along the many grooves! πŸ§ͺ

ALT text copied and pasted from the linked website: An infographic titled β€œHow To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads β€œA capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.”

Pic of a goat, Sam, approaching the viewer and looking up and straight ahead at them. Sam has medium long hair, which is a light warm brown with a white nose and white back. He has a long white tuft under his chin, making him look a bit like a wizard.

A picture of the back of larger, short haired goat named Merry, with brown hair.  He is looking away from the viewer as goat Sam approaches him from the right side of the frame, nose first. Though we can't see Merrys face, it looks as if Sam is touching his nose to Merrys. The two are standing in a green grassy field covered in orangy brown, dry, crunchy fall leaves.

Hello all: It is with a heavy heart that I remove my Starter Pack of "Trustworthy Mesopotamian Copper Ingot Merchants Within the City-State of Ur."

I have been informed about some pretty unfortunate oversights on my part and ultimately platformed some creators who should not have been platformed.

Book paragraph that reads, β€œIt’s also important to remember that social media platforms are corporate products governed by algorithms and human beings who have repeatedly stifled leftist voices, obscured state violence, and facilitated right-wing radicalization. As important as these platforms are, overdependence on them weakens our movements. We need to practice a diverse spectrum of outreach methods in digital spaces and in physical spaces, and we need to do skill-building work in our movements around those methods. Sometimes, we need to be literal about meeting people where they are at. Think about all of the places people congregate in person and remotely where conversation is possible, from restaurants to schools, parks, porches, places of worship, street fairs, text message threadsβ€”and so many more.”
