hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage: doodlemancy.dreamwidth.org/20757.html

drives me nuts that it’s like star search. tho i do have some hope that you’re right, given that seattle’s new mayor ran on ideas and not charisma, and squeaked out a win against our own cuomo

all true. also notable that the pool got *a lot* of photos with mamdani standing as trump is seated

also obvs he doesn’t want to pay taxes on the tower or anything else, but i honestly think that’s secondary here

my theory is that trump respects mamdani because he simply cannot fathom getting ahead in new york without the aid of deep systemic corruption. so he thinks that mamdani has some kinda new juice, and trump wants in on it

thank you for writing! i’m so hapoy it (and you) made my radar.

john has a band, you should check them out

this is a level and helpful and inspiring piece of writing and i recommend reading it. solidarity will win the day

a recent development in sydney, and enormous ridership increases followed

every other goddam thing on the planet is like this, you have no idea how much it costs, you just tap a thing – any of them, whichever one you choose – and it's done. love when actually good, non-predatory things, like buses and trains, are on it

Philly switched over to contactless payment so you can just tap your credit card, it has been a game changer. No more special passes! Just tap and go.

the biggest barrier to mass uptake of public transit is that the people who don't use it are afraid of feeling embarrassed bc they don't know how to pay or when or where or how much it costs. been there. not proudly. i ride the bus now and i will die on this hill

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

My friends on Bluesky:

you shouldn’t rake the leaves in your yard. the leaves act as habitats for beneficial insects and break down into nutrients that strengthen the soil

that’s absolutely right Alex 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the child I was at 15.

Just keep chipping away y’all.
Whatever it is you’re working on, just keep going.
