Toad looked out of his window. “These messy leaves have covered everything,” said Toad.
He took a rake out of the closet. “I will run over to Frog’s house. I will rake all of his leaves. Frog will be very pleased.”
Me holding a sign I designed that reads, “Enjoy Destroying Fascism” in the fashion of the Coca-Cola logo.

Will and me on Broadkill Beach
Waves in Broadkill
My first time seeing an actual full-arched rainbow 🌈
We saw “Together” the other night! It is a must-see for anyone interested in supernatural and/or body horror. I really loved it. And Brie & Franco: 👌.
Just some highlights from the past week. @antiwillitarianism.bsky.social accepted an offer on his townhouse! 🎉. We move Sept 1 (to near University City in Philly).

Painting of an empty, window-filled interior with pink-orange-hued forest outside the windows. A blue polygon figure stands by bay windows, intertwined with a ghostly mesquite tree
Same painting matted and framed in blond wood: Preparation for Being, 2020, gouache on hot press paper, 24 x 18 inches (Private collection)
The artist standing next to the framed painting. Photo taken by wc williams during Told and Untold at Carnation Contemporary, Portland, OR in April 2022.
Thinking about this painting, which I sold a few years ago. The architecture is, partly, reconstructed from imperfect memories of an uncle’s house I often visited growing up. He built it himself, and my favorite room was a “no unattended children allowed” formal sitting room, all in blues.

Attn all on SNAP or govt assistance who voted for Dump: Here’s what his bill is doing to you (courtesy of Axios): President Trump's "big, beautiful bill" makes deep cuts to the social safety net — including SNAP, commonly known as food stamps, and health benefits for the poorest Americans.

Me, Kent II, Kent on the couch
Kent II in his glory!
One of the best bday gifts I’ve ever received: a #CuddleClones version of my beloved woolly, Kent, which I like to call “Kent II: Electric Boogaloo.” Kent II looks exactly like my Kent! Notice the spots on his nose, blue and brown eyes, & bandana. TYSM, @antiwillitarianism.bsky.social ❤️❤️
