The hedgehog cacti are starting to bloom. #cactus

Framed this baby up for a group show in Santa Fe this month.

Here, have some blue.

At a certain point in your development as a painter, things in general become easier, mostly because you learn to get out of your own way.

(Sometimes it feels like it's embracing me a little too tightly.) #history

Let your paintings simply run parallel to your life…they are there, and you are there. Avoid over-complicating.

My country is a psychopath and the crocus is in bloom.

Speaking of the 1950s...

I always remember to drink my Ovaltine before I vacuum my house in high heels while high on Valium.

Gee, what could go wrong with closing a wildfire dispatch center serving the most populous portion of a mountainous forested state?! #DOGE #wildfire #fire #forestry nmpoliticalreport.com/2025/03/05/a...

The title, though.

One of the best parts of my new-ish job is that there isn't a single computer in the building. I haven't looked at a work email since December!

Does anyone else roll up to their parking spot at work 7 min early and just start thinking, “what is a soul, even?”

Some of you may remember how I said my pronouns are he/they/*whooshing sound*. Well, windy March has arrived in Albuquerque and the sky will NOT stop addressing me. 🌬️

Shout-out to the irrational belief that one piece of mail will change my life forever every time I open the mailbox.

Sidenote: There are more people born with #intersex conditions in the USA than there are people living in states of Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Rhode Island, or Montana.

NM Political Report is the first entity I have seen mentioning #intersex people with regard to this catastrophe. nmpoliticalreport.com/2025/02/28/w...

For the last several decades, housing in the US has been a globally-traded asset class with profit for the well-off being the primary product, and shelter merely being a byproduct. It needs to be corrected to be the other way around. #PublicHousing #housing #shelter jacobin.com/2018/11/beau...

These stories amount to "the left was so annoying about pronouns or liberals made people feel so guilty about plastic straws they had no choice but to get on board with the second coming of the Third Reich and the destruction of the planet."

I have neither dog nor child, do I even exist?

I feel like I get more public #engagement talking to #myself in my #car than on #bluesky. Is this how it works? Am I #hashtagging correctly?

Two hats that speak to me.

Like clockwork.

First we'll install gender neutral bathrooms in every school, and then next, in every home in America!

This is an actual bill put forward today to negotiate to buy Greenland and rename it “Red White and Blueland”. It’s like a 4th grade class is having their mock legislature unit. #Congress

"No one way works. / It will take all of us / shoving the thing from all sides / to bring it down." --Diane di Prima

People who have had their sex/gender legally changed on their passport and government IDs are being denied renewals of their passports. They're also being denied renewing under their assigned birth gender. So, there is now an effective ban of legally transgender Americans traveling outside the US.

I become wary anytime someone appeals an argument by invoking "common sense." I almost but didn't post about it a few days ago because there are concepts that are truly commonsensical- it does exist. But then Don Dump says the plane crash is connected to DEI because "common sense"...

What we are witnessing politically, on a global scale, is right out of Greek tragedy. It is mythically absurd. Fear will never equal respect, but the powers that be are determined to act as if they have always been the same. youtu.be/OSYjmH_WPQQ?...

I'm really into this painting from 1401 of Jesus with a black hole. 🕳 #BlackHole #Jesus

Starting on a new social media platform is strange. Not really sure what I want this to be. Here's a picture of the refurbished Paul Bunyan on Central, now with arms. #Albuquerque
