Thank you.

Although I don't necessarily trust anything the administration claims.

is it "the plan" gathering pace or actual action taking place? Inquiring minds want to know.

And they're done! I'm so happy with how this turned out. I'm starting to feel a little more confident in being able to produce finished illustrations in traditional media, not just studies. 😊This is watercolor + gouache., with a little bit of color pencil and pastel for final touches.

I have come to the conclusion that Trump cannot feel happiness or joy, only sensation created by his own selfish gratification, which as a man of little imagination is reserved for a very few things: coercion, fear of and praise of him, orgasm, feeling big by making others small, etc.

the trump regime every damn day in endless horrifying succession. I am convinced that they are proud of themselves, even thrilled that they cause untold suffering ("hit them when they're down").

I don't understand how Rubio lives with himself but I guess he sold his soul like the rest of them

Richard has clearly never heard of the Achaemenids except maybe he watched that 300 film in which they are portrayed as animals, I dunno.

I aspire to exude as much confidence as this little Kinesin protein strutting along a microtubule while hauling intracellular cargo.

Look at that little guy go! πŸ”¬πŸ§ͺ

"Luis" is starting early am vine pruning surrounded by heavy fog in Madera County. "We're paid 31 cents per plant and must move quickly to make a full day’s pay. Cold temperatures and long hours make the work physically tiring. But we continue pruning row after row." #WeFeedYou

If you want to build progressive political power, come knock doors with us on March 8th & 15th.

We need volunteers to talk with neighbors about breaking the Republican supermajority in Tallahassee and electing leaders who will actually fight for us.

There is much wrong with the tendrils of the internet digging into our lives, and there is also this aspect of the internet which is that we can listen to music from all over the world so easily, and musicians can reach farther than ever before.

An intricate octopus cut from a single piece of paper

An intricate octopus cut from a single piece of paper

Japanese artist Masayo Fukuda hand-cut this life-sized octopus from one sheet of paper. Known as Kirie in Japanese (translated as β€œcut picture”), the art form involves cutting intricate forms from a single sheet of white paper and then contrasting it against a black background to reveal the design.

Y'all, get ready for shenanigans and confusion in November, because voter suppression is coming hard for middle-class white folks. I'm Williamson County, I left to vote at 2pm and didn't get home till 7:15pm. This county is more diverse than when I moved here 20 years ago, but still very white. 1/9

Hit them while they're down! Yeah! Big dick energy! Hegseth leaves out only how much he wants to rape all the women to prove he is a big strong man and not a mediocre ignorant loser totally out of his depth (as well as a religious zealot). Eternal shame on every senator who voted to confirm him.

at least they could embarrass her; not that I think she can be embarrassed because she has neither soul nor chame

There are over 3,800 children locked up in ICE concentration camps (calling it what they are).
Here are children who passed while in ICE custody. May they rest in peace.
Kristi Noem must be held accountable before this number grows exponentially.

I hope so. In fact, I hope it already is.

he never made it to colonel; too incompetent. Thus his endless attempts to prove it wasn't his own inadequacy

Whatever else I can say about Pete Hegseth, I know for sure that no matter what ignorant or reckless decisions he makes, whatever miscalculations resulting in blood-soaked disasters, mounting casualties, & war crimes, he will take no responsibility for anything that happens under his watch.
