Comic strip with 4 panels. Panel 1: Kid nervously tells parents ‘Mom, dad… I’m gay.’ Panel 2: Mom holds dad back saying ‘Don’t you f-ing dare.’ Panel 3 shows dad’s clenched fist. Panel 4: dad yells out ‘Hi Gay… I’m dad.’

I will forever be bitter that @kamalaharris.com is not our President right now.

Congress shouldn’t take away basic necessities for children, seniors, veterans, and low-income Americans to provide tax breaks to the wealthy.

This “big beautiful bill” will destroy countless lives.

Whenever I need a pick-me-up, all I have to do is say hi to my dog, and she waves back.

Acrylic painting of a tree in autumn, looking up from the ground. The trunk and branches are deep purple (eggplant) highlighted in pink, yellow, and green.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Well I guess I don’t get it. Carry on. I appreciate your resistance.

Although I’m with you on the idea of resistance, your phrasing is wildly sexist. Do better.

Thanks so much! It may be a while before I get to it (another work in progress at the moment) but I will share it when I’m done.

Oh and for recommendations… I don’t read a lot of fantasy and sci-fi, but I think TJ Klune’s books fit into fantasy. The House in the Cerulean Sea is such a great read! Just lovely. And the sequel, Somewhere Beyond the Sea, is just as good—with a message that will resonate. The narrator is awesome.

Buy audiobooks & support local bookstores Libro.fm makes it possible for you to buy audiobooks directly through local bookstores.

I just signed up for Libro.fm. I haven’t yet had a chance to see how big their catalog is, but it seems good. I love that I get to support a local Black-owned bookstore.

In thinking about mental health and wellness, we want to recognize other groups under persecution as well: people who are transgender/nonbinary, have disabilities, don‘t have documentation, people of color, and others. Take care of yourselves, find your communities, be allies and support each other.

This is exactly the kind of thing that we need USAID for. And a fully funded CDC that’s empowered to do their job. And participation in the WHO.

Trump’s dumb fuckery is going to get so many people killed.

I had a talk with someone earlier who very proudly informed me that they read only nonfiction. When I inquired why (dear God why), they simply said "I like my reading to teach me about the world." I laughed.

All the facts in all the books in all the world cannot teach you any of what fiction does.

For #BlueSkyMonday, here’s my take on water lilies. I painted this with an old credit card because I couldn’t find my palette knife.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.

These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior.

We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.
