“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

So it's been like 7 months since I drew the Oh Lawd He Treading cat, and since day one I've seen so many copies and outright thefts of it, and they're still going. I'm just like "I did that" 😹 I thought I needed to do a ginger version, so with a charged iPad, I drew one out this morning. #cat #art

That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn't even an enemy you could put your finger on. Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale

Dear everyone who rolls up in my comments when I’m talking about something that is not The Current Chaos, berating me that There Are More Important Things to Be Thinking About, please, and I say this with love, fuck all the way off into the sun, I will do as I please, unfollow me if it bothers you.

For no particular reason, here’s a barn owl. I saw it on Christmas the year before last. It’s the only one I’ve ever seen. To see it at all was lucky. To have it sitting in the winter sun uncovered by branches was a damn miracle. Is that one beautiful owl or what?

This minimalist image is a photo I took of the Gulf of Mexico in 2012. I’ve licensed it for various uses, including a book cover and a wall covering. I will always call it the #GulfofMexico

You are not prepared for the intensity of posting about Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers and associated solo acts I am about to subject you to in prep for a @junkfilterpod.bsky.social appearance. But in the end perhaps you may thank me.

It’s worth a shot. Who wants to go with me?

That only makes it more of a challenge.

Screw Google for capitulating to this childish nonsense.

Things that keep me going: - cuddling my cat - kissing my cat - sleeping with my cat - going home to my cat - talking to my cat - sitting with my cat - stroking my cat - talking about my cat - scritching my cat - giving a treat to my cat - laying down with my cat
