Three bird illustrations. The leftmost illustration is an acrylic painting of an Indigo Bunting singing while perched on some plant tufts, with a green background. In the upper right is a pencil illustration of a Redpoll tilting its head while perched on a thick branch. In the bottom right is an ink on scratchboard illustration of an Eastern Towhee singing while perched on a thin branch.

My three most recent bird illustrations—I love using different mediums

‘Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

This piece was done in pigma pen, graphite, white acrylic pen, and black colored pencil on 9x12” mixed media paper. I kinda like how it’s posed in a figure 8 position; almost as if saying that this dragon is forever. This drawing was a challenge in some places, but overall great experience

A drawing of a red dog on a gray-green background, from behind, its face hidden from the camera. There's a thick, floral patterned collar around its neck, with a matching leash clipped to it.

stores have no idea how much shoplifting takes place, they only know when stock doesn't match records. how much is due to human error, incorrect shipments, breakage, and theft is a guess. literally cannot know if shoplifting is on the rise.

this was a radicalizing discovery for me.

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

I think we should just go ahead and formally abolish the Senate, because this current thing where they don't do their jobs but draw a paycheck isn't really working for me

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.

I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.

Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

My problem with modern gaming - modern tech, products, services, anything really - is that you aren't the customer.

You are a user. A consumer.

The actual customers are the investors & business guys. And I think that's f* up.

really tired of conversations about how we need to get people to spend more time offline that don't acknowledge that one of the reasons people ARE online is their access needs aren't being met in physical spaces. This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.

Few local creatures stop me in my tracks like this, just the sheer size and soft colors and markings. Like, welp, day instantly better.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
