“Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.” -Dorothy Thompson🌱

@phewtus.bsky.social Good Morning Lady of the Trees🌳🌱 #TreeOfTheDay is actually the tiny (in comparison) little beech tree front left of photo - one of the many planted to fill in the gaps at the Dark Hedges - could take a few hundred years but …☘️🙈☘️

We need to increase flower picture output to offset the soul poisoning...

⚠️ Jeffrey Epstein invested with Peter Thiel And the profits are going to Epstein’s estate and NOT to any of the women he victimized. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/b...

everyday that goes by, more people realize the truth, & the very same institutions that spent countless hours defending & contextualizing Israel’s genocide will now change their tune. try and deplatform me all you’d like, you can’t change what people have seen.

ELON MUSK IS STILL A NAZI

In the age of performative cruelty, #kindness is #punk as fuck, be punk as fuck.

The White House is deliberately and explicitly pitting American Jews and Muslims against each other. It's one of the most abhorrent aspects of this travel ban. Faced with ascendant white nationalism, Jews and Muslims are natural allies here.

Rene Lalique (France, 1860-1945) #Tiger Necklace, c.1903 Gold, enamel, horn, tortoise shell, agate H: 1 9/16 × Outside diam: 8 1/2 in. (4 × 21.6 cm) Exhibited at the World's Fair, St. Louis, MO, USA 1904; purchased by Henry Walters, 1904 On display at The Walters Art Museum (57.938)

And im here for it. If they want to swallow the earth, let them start on each other's flesh.

This is devastating. Sweeps should be obviously immoral, but many people think of camp sites as visual blights, inconveniences, or places that make them uncomfortable. This is what your comfort costs.

fire all the news anchors and replace them with cats

Former prime minister of Israel: “Enough Is Enough. Israel Is Committing War Crimes.” No paywall link: archive.ph/vJ8m0

DELETED: Trump administration deleted a webpage summarizing evidence that “undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born U.S. citizens for violent and drug crimes and a quarter the rate of native-born citizens for property crimes.” 1/2

I want a candidate who promises to rip apart this network of psychopaths who are expanding in power, using their teeth if necessary. All the rest of the brouhaha is like the unintelligible noise of parents talking in a Charlie Brown special.

So this is fucking insane.

New work for THE ENCHANTED BRUSH EXHIBITION XI - “Legendary” curated by the one and only Dan Chudzinski. ‘Arthur Receives Excalibur’ - ink, gouache, acrylic and oil on illustration board. This painting will be at the Mazza Museum in Findlay, Ohio from June 16 through August 29.

doing art for the sake of doing art is good for the soul and you should be doing it regardless of how much practice you've put in

Another trial effort for guaranteed basic income, whose results most of our elected officials will continue to ignore "It’s such an obviously smart way to lift people up," writes @yabraham.bsky.social

Time itself now held long breaths with keen suspense.

ICE snatched up a trans woman outside a Portland courthouse this week. She was leaving her asylum hearing when ICE took her. Under Trump's policy, she'll be kept in detention with men. It's no coincidence ICE did this at the beginning of Pride. PDXers, what can we do to help her?

Is it reasonable for me to cook some water on the fire with a little salt and eat it with old, dry bread that's starting to rot to satisfy my hunger? Is this humane? Think a little with me. Can you endure like me? Help me buy food. I'm dying of hunger. chuffed.org/project/help...

The Freedom Flotilla/Madleen that is on it's always to Gaza, threatened by Israel took a detour to help someone who sent out an alleged distress call and now the tracker site isn't working and we haven't heard any updates since they searched the boat that supposedly needed help.

Imagine seeing 10s of thousands of people picketing Tesla for MONTHS and thinking... "we should def court the white supremacist Nazi that those people are protesting."

Can you see this? 🙏🏾 I'm offline until next Thursday, so I hope you can share widely and be bold, 'even' with a 5. You've helped 6 families + a mutual aid project serving a dozen more get food, shelter, transportation, healthcare. This isn't nothing. tinyurl.com/HopeGivingCi...

PRIDE MONTH DOUBLE RAINBOW IN CHICAGO HOLY SHIT

Terrifying stuff. Sharp decline in insect numbers tied to global heating. They are at the base of ecosystems and their decline will reverberate upwards. The fact that this is probably going to happen in my life time. We really need to stop burning fossil fuels today!

Nowhere is free of the scourge of white fragility.

It is almost midnight on the West Coast, and so here's your reminder that ELON MUSK IS STILL A NAZI and you don't have to hand it to him.

At first glance, the raven is pitch black, but upon closer inspection, it shines with seven different colors of light. My hobby of bird watching has helped me to understand the fascination of crows. #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

Those who worship & kiss walls will never find solace in a unified humanity.

"Night Wing" 🌙 🦉 Freshly finished new gouache painting I completed last evening. I had wanted to paint an #owl for the longest time. I chose this "Short Eared Owl" as my subject. I absolutely loved painting his feathers. #Gouache is just sooo creamy. #art

Let me break down the 'woke' hysterics, in the most simplest way possible: It means ppl R no longer compromising on being mistreated, which dismantles a system that was born broken. But the small subset of ppl who societally benefit from oppression, dont like a level playing field.

Everytime i see some variation of 'whitehouse in-fighting' or 'MAGA turning' or 'Musk & Trump Spat' all i hear in my head is: "Sauron does not share power..." & now im just waiting 4 the daggers of their peers to come out b4 they get flung straight off the roof of the building.

Im starting to think that the appeal of heaven to extreme evangelicals is not that every1 is treated equally w/ equal share in enourmous incomprhensible luxury & shared comfort, but that the assumption is that u would have to likely be exactly the same kind of person to 'get there.'
