Certain scenes require a certain headspace & I am a firm believer in not forcing it. Skip it & come back to it later. Go do something else & try again later. Just don't force it & have it not come across how you really want it to come across. you'll make so much more work for yourself in edits.

I am happy with these revisions. Hey! Coyote! Go Higher!, oil on linen, 22 x 18 inches, 2018-2025

*attenborough voice* like the mighty salmon, elon musk can already sense that his end is near... and so now begins his last great journey, swimming relentlessly upstream to the garbage centrist democrat spawning grounds where his lifecycle began

Look who's gonna be stored in the backyard all summer becaise they're too big to fit in the house!

I'm "cannot afford a parking meter" broke and trying something other than my GFM campaign to raise urgently needed funds for an NRP recertification, luxuries like food, and a much needed dose of whimsy to avoid impending birthday season sads. You can give all that joy for a $3 subscription

“Desire paths” are unofficial trails, usually bypassing a planned path, that reveal the most convenient route to get somewhere. The people (AKA meanderthals) that tramp along these routes often wear away grass, creating the secondary path Walk this way for more on desire paths (a thread / tread)...

Squeaking and waving my paws about is a good sign I've found the right gesture sketch to solve a painting.

i wonder how far we could get by claiming to be an actual religion and demanding accommodations for our sincerely held religious beliefs such as "thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a man's mind"

In short, this is why I am glad I delayed putting in new fenceposts until I got a solid FIFTH opinion on whether to use steel supports or sink the post itself into concrete. (this is from a good thread w/ nothing, really, to do w/ fenceposts)

This little illustration of Abraham Lincoln driving a truck from the marble quarry makes me smile every time I stumble across it.

Excuse me but what in the chicken-fried fuck #Unbound (from www.thetimes.com/uk/arts/arti... )

This is fun: John Sloan, Marcel Duchamp & others "occupied" the Arch for a night. washingtonsqpark.org/news/2024/01...

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

I never loved rattle cans enough to do real street art. As a kid, I just hung out on street corners and pedestrian overpasses drawing portraits. Back to my roots again tomorrow on N Fessenden in St Johns (Portland). Daydreamer Coffee has their Sunday Market 9am-2pm, and I'll be there.

if you want to know the deal with joni ernst et al... boy do i have a book for you!

The most subtle look from MY Pride line is this black shirt with a motif of small pink triangles. Everything else is a lot more explicit. And buying from me means queer money stays in queer pockets. Target doesn't deserve it. (rosalarian.com/shop)

Very nice thread on this smock with excellent alt text. #dresshistory

Having read a whole-ass @swordsjew.bsky.social book, I should have been prepared for how good this essay is but whom among is is truly prepared for Talia Lavin?

Elegant Minoan ewer from Bronze Age Crete. The dense reed-type decoration was created with deftly painted brushstrokes by an ancient artist some 3,500 years ago! Heraklion Archaeological Museum 📷 by me #Archaeology 🏺

It's the LAST DAY to submit comments and let the hearings officer know that putting spotlights next to a migratory stopover violates our city lighting code and harms wildlife!

And that’s part of what corrodes mutual cooperation. It’s not just the scams or the violence. It’s the behaviors we will develop as offense to the chance for scams or violence. IDK, I feel like we don’t appreciate how important it is that we generally can do small interactions w/minimal risk
