The frequency of ads for online and in-person gambling is shocking I've been wondering about the real world consequences. How do people who have a gambling addiction resist gambling on their phone? People must be losing their shirts If we had a any real media they might do a story on it

Yes. Please. So many professionals that we encounter make me out to be a terrible parent bc I have not and will not let my child endure this particular “therapy”. You can tell they’re parroting books without ever learning from those with lived experience.

Another worker’s livable wage doesn’t get taken out of our pockets; there is an artificially small pot from which we’re all drawing wages because a select few are making more money from our work than we’d ever be able to spend. All workers should all be doing better

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 12 is for something different. I have made only a few beaded embroideries, and this one is my favorite. Horus in hawk form, a gift for a loved one who appreciates all things Egyptian. Horus 9"X9" Glass beads on cotton #beadwork

Having a fun day making gifts for friends. First up: geode earrings. Which will, obviously, be wrapped with geodes. Because you’re never to old to collect rocks. #artadventcalendar

I don’t believe people who say amazing drawings like this are done simply by pencil crayons. Like, nah, this ain’t pencil crayon- this is MAGIC.

I don’t think it would be possible to overstate what a major insult to democracy and freedom Bill 34 is. Straight up, it’s just gross.

Day 6 #ArtAdventCalendar - page from my Illinois prairie nature journal covering March 20-23, 2021. March is the season for prairie burns up north. I was fortunate to live in the neighborhood of a woman who had nurtured a prairie in her yard for over 20 years and I caught her burn-mesmerizing!

For this #Crustmas #ArtAdventCalendar crossover event we have a Sally Lightfoot crab snacking on some algae. These agile crabs can move in four directions and are said to be named after a Caribbean dancer. They also have a fun scientific name - Graspus graspus

Memory/language issues from a brain injury made therapy hard. One day, my therapist told me to draw- and Mr Turtle was born. I hadn’t drawn anything since 6th grade. Drawing instantly became a way I cld hold thoughts long enough to process them & a way to communicate w/o words. #artadventcalendar
