your political platform can’t just be against something, you have to be FOR something, and the thing you’re FOR has to be BETTER than the thing that IS

hope this helps

Thank you!🥰

If I can ask y'all for some help, please read & just share the following?

Medical emergencies + 2yrs of unemployment + debt is a hell of a combo.

Any support would be a huge help. So far, through your kindness I've been able to pay off $3k of my $20,000 debt

the Distracted Guy meme, but J.D. Vance is staring in disbelief at Donald Trump, who is smiling beatifically at a calmly smiling Zohran Mamdani. the cut-out heads of Trump and Mamdani are lifted from the screenshot of a video of DJT’s fawning presser with Mamdani

Drawing of a very shiny praying mantis. It has chunky, shiny forearms and is mostly green and red.

A close up of the drawing, showing the metallic shine on the mantis' green and blue forearm.

Earlier this year I drew this magnificent Metallyticus splendidus. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. That's all.

I’ve upped the goal to $5K because y’all keep crushing every other milestone I’ve set so far. thank you to everyone who’s donated or shared. lotta people are gonna eat because you cared ❤️ teamfeed.feedingamerica.org/participants...

Thank you!

So, all the Corporate Democrats who said Dems can only win by by "running to the center," or "siding with Israel on Gaza" or "not being distracted by the Trans issue," should shut up & have the humility to listen.

Zohran is what happens when you run FOR justice rather than just against Trump.

This just makes me SO SO HAPPY.
When a friend actually takes the time to read something you made. 🥰
And recreating the cover? 😭
Thank you Nicole!

Nicole holds Scott Sava’s book becoming an artist mimicking the cover. She has a pencil in her mouth and brushes and paint in her hands while holding up the book and various sketchbooks

I finished reading @ssavaart.com book last night! I loved it so much and can’t wait to share my thoughts. Scott is an amazing friend, artist and author. If you need a little encouragement making art read his book.

I'm supporting Feeding America! To feed America’s hungry through food banks and engage our country in the fight to end hunger

hunger’s a battle we gotta fight on multiple fronts, and in numbers, so I also joined a coalition of over 40 tiktok creators who are raising money for @feedingamerica.org. $1 can buy at least 10 meals! donate if you can, repost if you can’t! tysm ❤️ teamfeed.feedingamerica.org/participants...

That’s basically what happened 😂

I won the costume contest and the prize was a mini ice machine! It is literally the only thing I was there for.

Nicole stands in the woods in a full length emerald green gown with homemade beetle wings and crown made out of jewel beetle electra

I was jewel beetle specifically sternocera aequisignata for Halloween. I went to one Halloween party and hid in a dark room, emerged for the costume contest and then disappeared. It was great.

Made a new snail friend

Will never not be haunted by the @soundoftheforest.bsky.social fun fact that some snails have up to 20,000 teeth

This made me very happy 🥰

finally hung up the prints from @soundoftheforest.bsky.social along with reorganizing my tiny ass bookshelf 😭 i reaaaally need a new one.. peep the PaintGem diamond art as well!!

How Does It Feel To Have Remained Silent? An Open Letter to Those In Power Who Silently Watched Genocide And Said Nothing

As Palestinians cling to a fragile ceasefire after suffering horrific genocide, I ask those who remained silent and complicit for the last two years—was it worth it?

Was it worth it to know this is how history, your children, your descendants, will remember you?

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg raised her fist as she and about 160 other Global Sumud Flotilla participants arrived in Greece to roaring cheers. Crowds welcomed them after their release from illegal Israeli detention.

Greta later addressed supporters — her remarks are below.

Pt1 🧵: Greta Thunberg deported to Athens says, "There's a live-streamed Genocide in front of our eyes in Gaza. No one will be able to say they didn't know this was happening. The Global Samud Flotilla only existed because our leaders failed. Our international systems are betraying Palestinians."

Everyone needs encouragement, including spiders

Consider going to the library instead of supporting a billionaires album about how a dick changed her life

I think the biggest indicator of the illiteracy that I’ve recently seen is people thinking The Fate of Ophelia by Taylor Swift is an accurate representation of her in Hamlet.

Greta Thunberg says she is being detained by Israel in cell ‘infested with bedbugs’ Exclusive: Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water Environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg has told Swedish officials she is being subjected to harsh treatment in Israeli custody after her detention and removal from a flotilla carrying aid to Gaza, according to correspondence seen by the Guardian.
