But wait - is he - tucked?

Ha, I can just hear him say “well, will you look at that!”

Tax the rich!

Oy!

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

Yea it is.

That will do it!

Yep, my first job out of college, thanks to my experience managing the art supplies department at the UCSB bookstore my senior year! It introduced me to graphic design, for which I am grateful. And it cemented my loathing of working in retail.

Illustration board is a good economical choice for painting on with acrylics. When I worked at Flax I was taught to advise against natural bristle brushes, since acrylics are basically pigmented white glue that will stick more to hair than to synthetic fibers!

I went through this last fall and bought the larger one and regretted it - tablets don’t need to be huge. In the case it’s heavy and using it is kinda awkward! Go smaller…

Came here to say exactly this!!

And as someone whose house just partially burned, the rest of the house is fucked anyway…

Where are you going?!

Oh-oh…

Met this little fellow last night. His owner said he is typically wary of new people. He sat in my lap and stared like this for an HOUR - should I have given him a sock? #notactuallydobby

I guess I should be grateful for that…

Why do they put warning labels where they will show in adorable baby pictures? Good thing Nana knows photoshop!

Truly, I didn’t know if it was in the cards for me! I can’t wait to meet him in person…

The house was filled with smoke via the HVAC, and the attic and walls were saturated with water (but not burned). No immediate needs other than fortitude - house “looks” fairly normal inside and we just need to dismantle it. Thoughtful grandson pic for balance!

House fire. Destroyed garage, water and smoke took care of the rest. Much loss. Kind neighbor offered her attached apartment, so that is home for the time being. Yeah.

Friday night my biggest concern was that one of our cats peed on my pillow. A few hours later the universe said “hold my beer.” We are ok, cats are too, but damn these timeline shifts aren’t for sissies…

Hurrah! From 2016-2020 I worked for a YouTube channel dedicated to live-streaming every Bernie rally we could - we had 100s of volunteers and a vibrant community. Thanks for doing this.

What democracy?

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

Yeah, it’s giving “you can’t see me now”

The number of Teslas I’ve seen with the logo removed is a lot…
