Recommended this a friend recently. They texted this morning to tell me that they made their first-ever call to reps using this app. If you've been scared to call, this can help. If you know people who are scared to call, suggest this. It's never to late to start and we're gonna need all of us.

Wait till they hear how every famous painter always had models posing or just straight up painted on site. Mucha was super into photos and would put grids on prints to copy them. Rembrandt used camera obscura. There are no rules to art and anyone who tells you otherwise doesn’t want you to succeed.

To anyone who wanted to read Magical Women on their iphone but was staggered by the price, go to patreon.com/rosalarian in your browser and not the app and it's like half the price. (It's even cheaper if you do it on my personal website rosalarian.com/subscribe)

If you're wondering why you haven't seen more organized disruptive action from Democrats at the speech tonight, I've heard from multiple people on Capitol Hill that House Dem leadership actively organized against any strong actions tonight. They are leading, but in the wrong direction.

Another older pen drawing. It was basically intended as a coloring page. At one point I tried coloring it myself digitally, but ultimately I didn't like how it turned out 😅 Maybe I'll revisit it someday. #drawing #art #fantasy #fantasyart #portrait #hair #elf #pendrawing #overcomplicake #artsky

Part of why this is so awful is because obviously plenty of people have been fired and coming back isn't an option. Also, getting hired back? There is still threat of reduction of force. 🤷‍♀️😞

Part Two of my Masks in Healthcare series focuses on patient stories. Why don't we have mandatory masking in healthcare? Why do patients have to risk being psychologized or mistreated for trying to avoid infection? Why aren't we being protected in the place we go to receive life sustaining care?
