Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Hi again! It's me with an another installment of the last book I ever thought would get banned--my picture book about a unicorn and kitty who are pals. A quick look at what this school district bizarrely found objectionable. 1/

The president is such a bumbling idiot he thinks tweeting out the word "hereby" a couple times on his white supremacist social media site is the same thing as making an actual law.

The only story here is the one about a mentally diminished, increasingly erratic president who thinks he's a king.

Correlated: if you have not posted anything or replied to anything yet, I’m not following back (unless I know you IRL) because I can’t tell if I’m interested. I’ll check back in a month or 3 to see if you’ve posted yet & probably follow then.

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

Tall evergreen trees surround a green blue lake. At the waters edge, deciduous trees and autumn coloured bramble with a golden maple yet to shed its leaves. Reflection of the surrounding area is prominent in the water.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Just realized I’m way behind in following interesting people who’ve followed me (& weeding out bots and harem seekers), like months behind. This is going to take time to catch up; but if I dedicate a half hour or so a day when I’m online, I should catch up soonish.

The Starling flock is now at a size where estimated numbers are meaningless. It's a big #murmuration - image is unmodified.

You count them if you want to😁

I love what you do with light. These are lovely.

Social media is the reason a lot of people with chronic illness or disability don't feel so alone.

An itty bitty painting of Elspeth, the planeswalker from Magic: The Gathering, as a white mouse clad in silver armor with golden decorations. She's wearing a white cape and holding a spear that took more than one try to get to look right. Behind her, white sweet peas are arranged in the shape of wings (because Elspeth is an angel) and she's making friends with an orange butterfly. This is on the back of my Swords to Plowshares artist proof, which also involves sweet peas. Pencil for scale!

I think today is a good day to share my second piece for the Magic: The Gathering in Miniature III exhibition that'll be in Gallery Nucleus Jan 31 - Feb 15, 2026:
Elspeth in Bloomburrow with sweet pea wings! 💖 This is done in acrylics on the back of a Swords to Plowshares artist proof.
