#WoTSelfieSunday #WoTSkies My most recent watercolor. I still struggle with perspective, and the leaves are a disaster. But I’m proud of my flower buds and I’ve really improved my paint-to-water ratio and brush strokes. So, enjoy!

Alanna’s little smirk brings me such joy. #WoTSkies

Post a female character that you love. pbs.twimg.com/media/GiQNZG...

🎶 She’s got eyes of the blackest night Long hair the color same Those eyes delight with silver light As she dishes out the pain 🎶 #WoTSkies #TheWheelOfTime

"When people show you who they are, believe them the first time." -Maya Angelou Alt Text: Elon Musk retweeting and agreeing with propaganda and lies about white South Africans being persecuted and rich and how should be allowed to enter the US in higher numbers.

FACT-CHECK: “Fundamentally, it is not correct LADWP refused to properly fill the reservoir needed to fight the fire… At no time during this fire has there been a shortage of water in Southern California.” www.verifythis.com/article/news...

Is misogyny the reason young men don’t value a college education?

And now we have the name of the alleged Cybertruck bomber. Another US Army vet. And yet the right-wing narrative machine is fixated upon a leftist “enemy within” and a civilizational, Islamist “enemy without”. Anything to avoid confronting the military service-extremism link.

Happy New Year!

Uncertain times are upon us.

Insurance is the canary in the coal mine.

The new laws aren't intended to *fix* homelessness. They criminalize it so that the poor can be used as free prison labor to benefit capital and also disenfranchised (i.e., stripped of their votes). Same strategy used in the war on drugs: make laws to turn political foes into felons and non-persons.

If this is a difficult season for you I want you to know that the band that had a hit with the blender song in 1998 thinks you're alright

It's ok to look after yourself. It's ok to get some rest. It's ok to wear a crown of goblin bones to your nephew's birthday party. It's ok to grow a coat of moss, disappear into the forest, and become a creature of folklore and legend.

Yule starts today. Blessings of the season to all 🙏. #Solstice #Yule #Blessings

Seconded!

What would make a man risk his life to escape serving in the Russian army? For draftee Alexey Kulyaev, it was being chained to a tree and beaten for days by his own commander.

I would almost certainly just scroll past news of an alien invasion.

And #WoTBookSpoilers to round out the set. I mean, I kinda love spoilers. But others are more willing to savor the story. Not me, I gobble then re-read. #WoTSkies

Yes. Leave us alone.

Absolutely terrifying.
