Took my 91 year old Mom to the Cary No Kings Protest…she bumped into several people she knew…I bumped into zero.

What Chris Hind said. Also, in the 15th century the Christ child was more frequently depicted naked to emphasize his humanity. So - tiny old wise man = God & at the same time naked = human. Having been raised Unitarian I find this kind of thing fascinating…and completely bonkers.

my art history professor in grad school told us that wasn’t by accident or lack of looking at babies. But also, as a person who has drawn some babies - their proportions are Fucked. Up.

good morning from the garden…now I’m off to my windowless room!

when I get discouraged by all the work we have to do and the firehouse of bullshit being directed at our democracy - I remind myself that Georgians have been in the streets fighting the authoritarian forces in their country every goddamn day for (as of today) 90 days.

GET TO WORK OR STOP TEXTING ME FOR FUNDS.

Lessons From Hungary To defend democracy, democracy has to look worth defending.

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country.
