Posting "wow super problematic" under everybody's Halloween costume and then responding "I will not do the labor of educating you" when they ask for an explanation.

Let me get this straight: Trump found tens of billions of dollars to give to Argentina for a bailout during our government shutdown, but he couldn't find funding to keep SNAP program benefits going for 42 million hungry Americans past this Friday?

This was done to the White House, a federal property, by a man who wanted protesters who spray painted a wall arrested for "destruction of federal property."

That’s $500 million lost per day

im sorry you cant have food but we gave all our money to one guy who “invented” 2 day shipping and another thats promising robot butlers so you can see how our hands are tied

Zenni…welcome to the revolution

woke up on the suspiciously long side of the bed this morning

I painted this one last weekend!
22"x30" oil on wood

A skeletal figure floats off the ground, wrapped in a cape made of autumn leaves. It wields a scythe adorned with a harvest of gourds.

Repostin' The Autumnal. Manifesting my seasonal mood.

White people’s insistence that other white people—especially the ones exhibiting morally questionable behavior—deserve the benefit of the doubt is going to kill us all.

I do this in all of my workshops, so I made an Anti-Oppressive Practice Wishlist for BlueSky:

- Alt text descriptions that provide equitable access for folx with vision loss
- No AI use
- No Substack newsletters
- No ableism or anti-fatness in critiques of fuckers
- No "post-pandemic" propaganda

🙏🏽

Another day when I wish this reminder was not needed, but politicians and publications continue to share images without alt text, as equity-oriented folx remain on the Nazi bar that is Substack, and far too many continue with ableism and anti-fatness galore, so PLEASE make an effort to do better! 🙏🏽

A pile of illustrated trading cards on black card stock in card protectors, fanned out on a wooden desk

Thank heavens for fellow artist friends. I couldn’t find my original brand of card protectors so a pal recommended these UVA/UVB blocking ones with sleeves. They’re not as rigid as the old ones, but they’re pretty good quality.

“Botanical drawing in color” by Wendy Hollender next to a color pencil sketch of a reddish tulip on toned paper in an Ugly Books Sketchbook on a wooden table

I recently picked up some books on botanical drawings and floral illustration. While I never read books like this as a cover-to-cover text book, flipping through looking for specific skills is definitely going to do well. Here’s a tulip I doodled from next to no reference but shapes on a tutorial.

LMFAO listen I didn’t say I’d like what I find in there but I really wanna comprehend buying an island for your band groupies and starting a cult lmao but then somehow presenting “normal” to everyone on the outside LOL. It’s giving Boy Band Charles Manson.

Just wanna open his lil cranium and be like what the fuck is happening in here lmfao

Why is Jared Leto?

They call him Jared "Leto" because they "let" him star in movies over and over even though the films make everyone say "O this movie bad"

This is why I love you

Mr Laos. Just when you though this year was a bit quiet on the insanely huge, bedazzled, symbolic costumes along comes Mr Laos and blows everyone else out of the water. This is insane, but it's also *so* good.
