This may be the most beautiful sign I have seen at one of these (even though the subject matter is so ugly). The artist who painted it said she started it feeling angry and it was therapeutic. Especially love the bling. #HandsOffLA

The irony that I’m having trouble swallowing is we will actually need to make America great again after we finally get rid of Trump. In disposing of him, we will have to commit to his initial vision. It’s probably going to take decades of diplomacy and lawsuits and sage burning and self-flagellation

Wall Street bets discord is so goddamn funny right now

This is so irrelevant, but how did we even tell the other countries about the tariffs in 1828? Telegrams? Paul Revere? I am so bad at history 😣

Holy shucking fit. Sudafed does not fuck around. 🤧

Meanwhile in Fargo

Senator Cory Booker has officially beaten the record of Senator Wayne Morse, who spoke for 22 hours and 26 minutes in 1953. Cory's is now is the second-longest speech in Senate history. He's coming for you, Strom Thurmond!

Sometimes there's so much ugliness in the world, I feel like I can't take it, like my heart is just going to cave in.

One of the most common ways to curse someone is to use their teeth: take a tooth and you have a direct connection to their bones, so medieval European thought went, and thus witches sought teeth. Folklorists suggest this may be the origins of the tooth fairy. #FolkloreSunday

Such a silly milestone, but I get to say I’m editing my novel (officially, at the behest of an editor) for the first time! I have a deadline and everything! Now I just have to think of a romantic song that would be creepy to hear outside your window in the dead of night 🤔 #Romance #author #editing

Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art.

Just thinking that if Dorian Grey had been written today, it probably would’ve been a magical cursed selfie 🤷🏻‍♀️

So listen, book promo feels weird now, but one of my personal highest goals as a fantasy writer is to give readers a few hours of fun escape from their troubles. So if you're looking for that right now...I've got you. (Plus, Moira Quirk narrates the audiobook!!!) bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

A BLATANT reminder that I will NEVER support Al or use it.

Today’s art is this accidental watercolor stain on my counter which looks to me like a vaping shrimp? Look, I have my first ever editorial meeting tomorrow, and I am nervous. Please be kind to my accidental shrimp art. #accidentalart #debutnovelist #publishing

Nightfall.

OMG @contrapoints.bsky.social finally acknowledged me in her latest video! Senpai noticed me! I can’t answer the question though. I don’t know why I do what I do. We Jews are just inherently chaotic and evil I guess. Especially the ones named Rebecca 😂

Today’s art is this swirly (baby?) rhinoceros who gave me the gift of knowing I can spell #rhinoceros. I was sure I was going to get it wrong. #digitalart

To be fair to Instacart, I’ve never TRIED pouring CapriSun on my cereal… Maybe it’s delicious! 😂

Today’s #art is this #drawing I did for my #blog. I’m particularly proud of this one, which follows a glib reference to my “inner goddess.” IYKYK (I illustrate my blog to break up the walls of text.) See the full post here: bexgoos.me/2025/03/24/a... #Wordpress #amwriting #publishing #Romance

Today’s art is these creatures I made with my son’s Bunchems. If you don’t have Bunchems, you should get some. Bunchems is not paying for this advertisement. Please feel free to name these #creatures, either their personal names or the type of creature they are. #toys #fun #parenthood

Today’s #art is this swirly #dragon protecting her egg.

Making a new #comic for the first time in years, and I NEED to know: What is something that would be #funny to buy too much of all at once at the grocery store (with no other items)? Nothing obvious like toilet paper. String cheese? Bubble wrap?? Frozen EZ peel shrimp??? #asktheaudience #poll

Today’s art is this #dog who manages to look meek and put upon despite having a four-year-old best friend whose favorite activity is crumbling up crackers and throwing them on the floor. The art is not my photo. The art is Geordi’s. He weaves a false tale of sorrow and woe masterfully. #petparent

Today’s art is this #popcorn I painted with #watercolors and left to dry. Pretty cool huh? I’ve been making resin fridge magnets out of them and giving them away. Let me know if you want one ☺️ Full story: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2sGGxR9/ #giveaway #TikTok

Threatening to impeach judges who check your power is proof you need judges checking your power.

My #YouTube video finally uploaded! This one is all about how #America is not actually a free country, and it may never have been. Discussion topics include the paradox of #tolerance, the limitations of #freedom, and how we need to stop reasoning with bigots. youtu.be/kZe7TUqv6rI?...

Today’s #art is this swirly blue whale! The behind-the-scenes video of this whale’s creation will be in my next YouTube video (releasing later today 🤞) so keep an eye out for that! #whale #bluewhale #cuteanimals

Today’s art is a #shamrock as expected. I made this a long time ago when I was practicing using symmetry tools. It goes against my nature to be predictable, but this is too appropriate an image to ignore. #clover #luck #goodluck #symmetry #art #digitalart

Today’s art is this swirly #penguin who is trying his best. #digitalart

Hello! Today’s art is a #gif I made of my younger son blowing bubbles. But in case the gif doesn’t load, I have also included a video version in a thread below. Please be respectful and pronounce it “gif,” not “gif.” #doodle #animation #drawing

I don’t often tout my #podcast because I update it so rarely, but if there are any parents out there who have been subjected to Masha and the Bear, feel free to listen to me and my guest discuss it! #parenting #kids #children #kidsentertainment podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n...

Today’s art is this swirly cameo I made from a picture of a different art I did. I told you there would be lots of swirly art! As soon as I discovered the liquify feature on Procreate, I went to town. #digitalart #vintage

I wish I could tell young me not to worry so much about “being normal.” Adult me knows that being weird is fun. There are so many ways to be weird, you realize that means there are many ways to be normal too. Which means there is no singular normal to aspire to anyway. So go nuts. #weirdo #adhd

Today’s #art is a #train for my older son. My sons both have #autism and my older son LOVES trains. I wanted something chaotic and colorful and whimsical because he is all those things. But I also included pics of the original (wet and dry) if you prefer less chaos lol. Love you, Warren #painting

Today’s #art is a lightbulb. Another of my watercolor/chalk pastel combos. The lines were done in calligraphy marker. #watercolor #idea 💡

Today’s #art is late because my younger son woke up at 3AM and decided that was as good a time as any to start his day. Parenting! So… enjoy this digitally edited #watercolor homage to the joy and beauty of #music. The staff and notes were done with black #calligraphy marker. #painting #parenting

Today’s #art is this unusual #ladybug on an interesting leaf. I started doing my daily art to help myself cope with the Trump presidency. It’s sort of helping, but I sure hope something goes well soon. I don’t think I can keep this up for years. #pastels #watercolor #digitalart

Today’s art is a little graphic I did of an adorably ironic pushpin! Thinking about stickers! What do you think? #drawing #doodling #cute #graphicdesign

I don’t see why I should partake of a skin care routine when my skin has made it so clear it doesn’t care about me.

Today’s art is an unedited photo of a leaf partially submerged in ice. I found this in my backyard and thought it was lovely. I especially like the bubbles in the ice. #photography #winter #nature #outdoors

Today’s art is from several years ago, but is still near and dear to my heart. What if #Satan were a Pokemon? I drew these for a silly contest. It was fun! And it kept my mind off Covid and Trump. History does repeat. #doodling #drawing #Pokemon
