My first illustrated book is now available in select stores in Santa Fe and online! dawnwheatfineart.bigcartel.com

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

in retrospect maybe it was a mistake to tell young people that reading, the arts, the humanities weren’t important and that “learning to code” was sufficient for a good life.

My father was a horticulture prof at a community college and I grew up on a farm. But it isn't until the last four years I have had a place of my own. We have been increasing everything every year. My husband has really gotten into it. Last year we started composting!

We garden but don't have room for a greenhouse sadly - I am so jealous of your set-up! We more than doubled our raised garden beds and have been transforming our whole backyard. We have many fruits trees, berries, rhubarb - this year adding grapes and trying new veg varieties.

Elon Musk, that avatar or arrogance, is trashing the US Constitution. Trumpers, is this what you voted for? An end to America?

I miss the days when very rich people used their money to fund libraries, public art and philanthropic endeavors rather than launching slow-motion coups against the federal government.

He is doing pretty good! He is 16, and it was a large incision - but he is up and acting like normal..

My dog is like that too! Surgery last week to remove a tumor :(

Please consider making this public display of support.

I’m not kidding: those who delegate all their writing, thinking and creative expression to machines are going to wake up one day and discover that they can no longer write or think. You need to make your own art. You need to keep your brain working. You need to stay human.

About the presidency, Harry Truman famously said “the buck stops here.” Trump is trying to pass the buck and blame everybody but his administration for the DC plane crash. This is a time for consoling the families and investigating the cause of this tragedy, not shameful finger pointing.

Badge of HONOR, sir. You are doing the right thing.

Thanks to George Conway for posting Caroline Kennedy's letter so everyone is informed about RFK Jr. Please repost far and wide.

just stumbled on a real jaw-dropper of a line in an essay -- “The corollary of being interested in a great range of things is to have sympathy with a great range of outlooks” -- and that, my friends, is why reading is so important.

What gives you hope? For me it is that the seed catalogs are arriving and I am excited about my garden.

"Put them in trauma" WTF

YouTube video by ProPublica “We Want the Bureaucrats to Be Traumatically Affected”

I don't have many followers, but I'm begging the ones I have to PLEASE SHARE THIS:

I'm one of the "bureaucrats" he's talking about. He wants me to be miserable because I don't deserve to make a living.

I have also heard people say that we need to not rely on celebrities, but focus on the working class.

So cool!

Yay! I got a small indoor greenhouse for this year and excited to see how it will make a difference for seedlings.

I've been illustrating a book for the last year and a half (while working a full-time job as a designer), and yesterday the interior went to the publisher for review. dawnwheat.com/styled-2/

I'm moving to Bluesky and will be updating more information here soon.
