How to call Congress—when the phone isn't an option Proxy calling gives some disabled people a better way to flood Capitol Hill phone lines.

Calling Congress isn't always easy, people like @novicsara.bsky.social, who is deaf, who use relay services get hung up on. For @motherjones.com, I looked into limits with urges to call Congress, and one cool solution: @autisticadvocacy.org's proxy calling system. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

More intuitive painting today. Keeping my nervous system calm and allowing the paint to take me where it wants #intuitivepainting #meditation #artwork #pdxartist #artsaveslives #watercolor

You want to know what non-compliance looks like? It looks like whatever the hell you want it to look like. It’s not about heroism or martyrdom. It’s about being a magnificent, ungovernable pain in the ass. It’s about weaponizing inconvenience, absurdity, and joy against a system that demands fear and obedience. Throw a wrench in the works—everywhere, all the time. Fill their inboxes with existential poetry. Tape absurd messages in public places: “Authoritarianism gives you hemorrhoids.” Get petty. Get weird. Flush their toilet paper. Release crickets in inconvenient places. Spoil their scripts, trip their rhythm, yank the narrative from their hands. Because here’s the ugly truth they don’t want you to hear: authoritarianism only works when the people allow it to work. It’s a performance, a bluff, a collective hypnosis. Break the spell. Mock it. Undermine it with your refusal to kneel. But here’s the thing—this has to be everywhere. Everyone. We need resistance so widespread, so creatively chaotic, so utterly unmanageable, that the regime cracks under the weight of its own overreach. Be bold. Be clever. Be feral. And above all—DO NOT COMPLY.

We heard the rumors. Maybe president panican will declare martial law, maybe he won’t. But do you think this clown car of incompetent sycophantic signal leakers can keep all 300 million of us down? Absolutely not. We will not comply. Here’s some advice from Oliver Kornetzke. Let’s get weird.

Intuitive painting from yesterday morning. A thousand thanks to @artalina.bsky.social for showing me this process. The intention isn’t to make a “great” piece of art or show off technical prowess but rather to let the paint guide you. #intuitivepainting #artwork #artsaveslives #portlandoregon

One of my favorite places to wake up!

The best!!!!
