Don't be afraid to be a lone protestor. (Odds are that others will join in when they see you stand up--but as Rep. Green says, better to stand alone than not stand at all.)

Weakened on the world stage. It’s almost as though it was written into existence by, oh I don’t know, the Kremlin🙄

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

After yesterday’s meeting with Zelensky I, with no better way to explain it, had a breakdown.This fell on my husband who is very quiet about politics. We had to come to an agreement that inside our walls he needs to express some outrage because I can’t be alone in this anymore 😔 it’s too much

Ending the night with this. *Get your hankies* A D-Day veteran called a gracious and humbled Zelenskyy a hero.

This says it all. Thanks - @claybennett.bsky.social

I made this piece after Russia began its attack on the people of Ukraine. I adore folk patterns and lace. The embroidery on the vyshyvanka are an inspiration. I’m not a political painter, but I throw nods quite a bit. How do you respond to current events in your work? #art #painting #artsky

Ukrainian women are also amazing knitters and crocheters. Here's how to support 12 of them: flaxandtwine.com/blogs/blog/1... 🧶 #art #artists #fiberartists #fiber #crochet #crocheted #crocheting #crocheters #knit #knitting #knitters #makers #ukraine #ukrainian #support #buy #buyukrainian #products

It was our priveledge to watch you. RIP

This made me cry. I’m so fucking sorry to those that have to wake up everyday and feel like they have to take on the world just to have equality.

Trying to cheer up timelines today. These are paper flowers I make. I like to approach making them more expressionistic than making realistic ones. I dye the paper and hang the strips on our boxwoods which kills my husband 😂 #crafts

I think most of my issues stem from being a sahm and doing tons and tons of things but getting no paycheck. Does anyone have ways that help you get over it?

I have to somehow start supporting myself in realizing that although I do things chaotically all day, I do in fact get so much done. Why do I still look down at myself at the end of the day?

That moment when it’s your FIRST TIME seeing your own book at the airport!!! I’m so grateful to readers for their support 😘😘😘 #TheReformatory

I’m always surprised when I need a hug like it’s a sudden gust of wind on an otherwise very calm day

Two services we use to buy meat direct from farmers we feel use best practices are Seven Sons Farm and Walden Local Meat. I thought I’d share since farming grants and federal funding are being slashed. Your wallet can be used to fight back! www.sevensons.net www.waldenlocalmeat.com/how-it-works/

Spoke with my grandma this week, it was her 97th birthday! She asked if I’ve been painting to which I said no, but I have been knitting more. She told me before television they used to bring their knitting to the movie theaters as a thing to do.

If the seeds and gardening supplies I’ve ordered don’t come soon we are going to have a real ADHD problem. Each day gets worse. I may have ordered 3 tubers or 300

If you are like me and love magazine articles but are full of guilt when you let them pile up unread: get your library card and the Libby app!!

47,000+ Palestinians killed. 111,000 injured. Trump’s response? Forcibly expel Palestinians to make Gaza “a real estate development for the future. A beautiful piece of land.”  No. Gaza must be rebuilt for the Palestinian people, not billionaire tourists.

Today’s portfolio share. Oil and charcoal on canvas. Figurative expressionism #painting #art #expressionism

lmao the way this bar in DC just broke out into boos and middle fingers and jeers when Tr*mp was shown. Eagles and Chiefs fans uniting 🫶🫶

Antifasist rallies in Germany!👏🏻

Kendrick after walking through a puddle of white boomer tears:

Jon Batiste did a beautiful rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. It managed to mix joy and pain. Can you actually imagine being upset because he repeated “land of the free” three times. These mouth breathers are even mad about that. You really can’t win so win.

And thanks to Jason Alexander because I’m sure that irritated the F out of the bigots too.

Not saying we hexed that game but you publicly act like a p*ssy and not put the respect on your girlfriend’s name-by saying meeting a r*pist would be an honor-we weren’t ever going to root for you 🤷🏻‍♀️
