I know. It is soul crushing. 💔

I can believe it. How sad that is. 😔

"War. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. Say it again."

No. War. In. Iran.

No. War. Anywhere.

Well done, my friend! 🍽😄

Can you understand now why Vulcans were so concerned when humans attained warp capability?

Meaning they could travel to other planets taking with them their humanness.

Covid-19 being allowed to spread freely in medical settings is an unforgivable moral scandal.

#COVID19

The ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 is being driven by an unrepentant lack of care and concern.

If you value your own well-being, and are determined to avoid the life-threatening harm that results from every infection of Covid-19, you will wear a respirator mask in all situations of potential contagion, without fail.

I just saw a gorgeous sunset from my apartment balcony. As I was watching it, a pair of great blue herons flew overhead. So beautiful. 🥹

This is your reminder to look up once in a while, my friends. ✨️

With so much awfulness in the world, I often lose sight of the good. I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to those who are still masking. 🙏🏼

We all have our reasons for continuing to do so & the uniting act of masking serves as a reminder for me that there is still good in this world. ❤️

A pen and watercolor drawing of a mouse wearing an ochre brown coat using a lily pad as a raft on a calm river. His green satchel is on the raft beside him. The riverbank is in view on the upper left, with tall grass and cattails blowing in the breeze. Art by Angela Marie Morton.

Little Algernon is off on another adventure!

I hope this little mouse enjoying a slow, cozy afternoon brings a smile to your face today.

This piece is now available for purchase on various goodies, in the "Adventures of Algernon" section of my shop.

Mr. President, re: the term "winning" you are so fond of using.

I do not think that word means what you think that it means.

Anthropic ditches its core safety promise in the middle of an AI red line fight with the Pentagon | CNN Business Anthropic, a company founded by OpenAI exiles worried about the dangers of AI, is loosening its core safety principle in response to competition.

"Anthropic’s previous policy stipulated that it should pause training more powerful models if their capabilities outstripped the company’s ability to control them and ensure their safety — a measure that’s been removed in the new policy."

There's so much evil in today's world. With no end in sight.

It is, yes! 🩷🙂

Algernon's latest adventure, in which he meets a friendly flamingo. Please enjoy. 🙏🏼

Kudos to @denisedewald.bsky.social

It is a shameful reflection on the medical community that doctors who acknowledge their moral obligation to keep patients safe from harm have become exceedingly rare during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19.

All healthcare workers should be wearing respirator masks, particularly when an airborne disease such as Covid-19 is spreading freely.

A calming watercolor to help set the tone for our collective Monday blahs. 🩶🧡

Thank you, my friend. 🙏🏼

PSA from your friendly neighborhood artist:

Wearing a respirator mask in public spaces helps to ensure the health & safety of everyone. It is a small, simple action, but it makes a big difference.

There is already so much suffering in our world - we can refrain from adding to it by masking up.
