Accidentally discovered something new to me in the photo editing process, so I had to see what this would look like printed.

Somehow, I discovered a way to solarize an image in my process of appropriating images. Man Ray would be proud.

I'm futzing around with sepia tones since my new printer is full color. There's a learning curve to both the operation of the printer, and working with sepia tones. #fineart #bsky.art #blueskyart

I scored a printer that is slightly larger than a washing machine. I'm back at it working on dictionary page digital collage. #art #arte #Kunst #photography #digitalart #digital #collage #digitalcollage #print #printmaking

Time to release the personal info of all the police in Texas onto the internet. Anonymous, where you at?

Taco did what?

Kidnapping.

Minimum wage hasn't even doubled in over 30 years. It needs to be $35.00 per hour to meet the basic costs of living.

YouTube video by Judas Priest - Topic Tyrant

Mourn for us oppressed in fear
Chained and shackled we are bound
Freedom choked in dread we live
Since tyrant was enthroned

I stopped and looked at this one for a while. Good painting.

There are about 700 billionaires in the U.S.
There are less than 15% of the U.S. "employed" population that earn over $200K per year.
(26M Americans)
$220K is the lowest rung for middle class.

Raise the minimum wage to $35 an hour to meet basic costs of living & everything else will follow.

Thanks!
