Omg....I love this!

Our big snow last month had zero ability to keep shape for snowperson making (would have been great for skiing if we had hills). Jealous and soo happy for you two.

My heart breaks for the people of Minneapolis, and for the wife and child of Renee Good.

Renee Nicole Good could have been any of us, at any time. It's already been so many of our Black and brown brethren, but that barely makes the news. But yeah....it could always be any of us, at any time.

We are all in this together.

There is just something SO SATISFYING about that end of year Art Room Cleaning.

Oh, that's funny!

Why, yes, I am indeed celebrating closing my gradebook with sushi and catching up on Abbot Elementary.

I forgot how much truly deep healing comes with deep sleep..... after sleeping solid for nearly 16 hours today.

Let your body rest. It remembers the emotional trauma absorbed even a decade ago but processes them all the same.

It's a good day for a rewatch of The First Wives Club.

Favorite Things, A series.

The other day, I had the joy of witnessing two of my students earnestly high-five each other because it was ART Day for them.

It makes me happy when kids WANT to be in my class.

Except it's not an inconvenience at all--otherwise I would move her.

Favorite Things, a series.

When my little gray cat uses my foot as a pillow for her weary head.

I could lounge with that tiny creature all day with enough herbal tea and nightstand books.

Hayao Miyazaki, Who Said AI Is ‘Insult to Life Itself,” Reduced to AI-Generated Meme by OpenAI The internet is flooded with AI-generated images in the style of Studio Ghibli, whose founder said “I would never wish to incorporate this technology into my work at all.”

That moment where you recognize you are not healed and that it is very much now time to heal. To deeply heal.

OpenAI's Studio Ghibli meme factory is an insult to art itself Sam Altman is promoting his new image generator by appropriating the work of one of the greatest living animators—who is "disgusted" by AI.

OpenAI is using Studio Ghibli-style memes as an ad hoc promotional campaign for its new image generator—despite Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki's famous hatred of AI. Sam Altman made his X avatar a 'Ghiblified' portrait.

Disgracing Miyazaki is part of the point: It's more proof to them tech has won.

The Supreme Court long ago conferred Constitutional protections to every person present in America

If the US arrests people who have NOT been charged with a crime

Changes their immigration status WITHOUT a court hearing

And refuses to let them speak with a lawyer

Then our democracy is truly lost

Some of you have never read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, and IT SHOWS.

Yes

Stand With Ukraine! 💙💛

I feel this. Every single day since this administration started.

Today, I finally had that Art Teacher Right-of-Passage of discovering that the reason my sink won't drain properly is because of lost paint brushes, lots and lots of tiny paint brushes (which I thought were just missing).

It is absolutely amazing what just a little bit of sunlight can do to lift one's spirits.

Truth is, I prefer my very basic and Americanized version of a Korean double cleanse---with an oil cleanser, then a foam cleanser.

I tried to incorporate this into a double cleansing routine and it just didn't work for me. Maybe it was a sensory thing.

I'm sure I will. Sometimes, my Sunday Scaries get a little TOO subconscious and turn into Monday night exhaustion collapses by the following evening when the coffee wears off.

I didn't sleep well last night.
And, I'm feeling it.
At least I'm done with all the grown up things for the day.

I haven't seen that movie in years! Almost forgot about it.

Or is it that S has an addiction to an app led by a little green owl? He's always on the top of his leaderboards for a reason. 🤣

I'll never be that gooood.

Just introduced my mom to "The Man in the High Castle" just in time for our own creepy history, now jump.

I also forgot how foreboding and disjointed the 1rst Ep. scene with the happy midwest cop was..... helping a guy with his tire, while Thursday's medical waste slowly comes down from the sky.

I appreciate this art history nerd reference and can not wait to see what you come up with.
