🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Ok that made me laugh

Over the past 30 years, marching band has become an extreme sport: the top bands have dozens of staff, large budgets, and fleets of trucks. Burkhard Bilger follows three bands to the national championships in Indianapolis. #NewYorker100

I don't have words adequate to express my anger & disgust @meidastouch.com @muellershewrote.bsky.social I knew it was coming, I was hoping someone could stop it. Is it possible the Rats have left digital DNA that could connect them to other work, i.e. election www.facebook.com/share/p/15mP...

I enjoy listening/watching #TobiasMenzies read poetry. Here, the tempo of his speech matches the urgency of the poet's words. youtu.be/9ct29MNq3R4?...

Take note and take action!! 2/17: March at noon, your capital or city hall 2/28: Economic blackout 3/7-3/14: no Amazon purchases 3/14: National strike

The quality of the reporting on this has been disappointing, to say the least, with only the most basic understanding of what the National Archives does. This is bigger than a little spat with a small agency. bit.ly/3Ex744a follow @everylibrary.bsky.social to stay informed!

I saw a post called #WPIWednesday earlier and thought I'd like to participate. Can't find it now, but here goes ... It's acrylic on canvas. A swimmer, shown swimming laps. I want to determine which areas I can paint with opaque color, then begin glazes to maintain motion & depth.

This article may be posted somewhere else, but I think the info it contains is vital and useful. www.dropsitenews.com/p/fbi-nomine...

For today, from Dan Rather: open.substack.com/pub/steady/p...

Most of the time in my high school art classes was spent doing portraits with quite a bit of time at uni doing the same. I don't care to do portraits. I'm more interested in color, pattern, and motion. Hence: SELF-PORTRAIT: Mote on a Blue Rock Swimming the Galaxies. 2024. Acrylic on canvas.

I just learned that the colors seen at the edges of some photo shadows are called 'chromatic aberration.' It is a failure of the lens to focus all colors to the same point. Here, it adds emotional depth to #TobiasMenzies reading last year from Hwang Sok-wong's Mater 2-10.

Copied from the other platform. The gov of my state is a D'rump co-conspirator. I live in a complex that increasingly seems like a ghost town. When manf in the state eroded, ppl worked to dev & mkt this city for conventions. Hotels & restaurants rely on immigrant labor. Biting the hands that feed?

This came from a post on my FB page. I'm including a picture so it may not get lost. www.facebook.com/groups/13560...

@meidastouch.com This came to me as a photo from a friend's FB page.

Sometimes y'just gotta stop & go to the next one. The drawing's wrong, the patterns don't contribute to the composition. I won't waste any more paint on it. I've already got one in mind where I can use what I've learned both here & from 'blue tiles girl'.

Spot on!! 🎯🎯🎯

I'm going to fix her mouth and goggles then call her done. All I wanted was to make her look like she was swimming in a tiled pool. 'Til the next one; they're approaching their deadline. Acrylic paint and ink on canvas. 24" x 36"

What ya mean no "matching parts"? Maybe she's just arty!

One of four paintings I'm working on; as I reach a point where one needs to dry a bit before another layer is added, I trade it out for another. I see details that need to be added, other places they need to be corrected or minimized. *Sigh.* @elisabeth19.bsky.social

This needs to go on a billboard in every city in America!

I love this little promo for - whatever it is ... Birth UK?https://youtu.be/nv5y2Mqf6wA?si=10P-9tjB94tHMLRJ

I can’t tell you how important it is to start paying attention to local races.

@elisabeth19.bsky.social Yay!

I'm trying to make some art. I draw a lot & sometimes create interesting images, but transfering those skills to painting can be discouraging; I can see the improvement from one to the next. It's exciting that I can do this...at all. I just wish I could find a source of genuine artistic feedback.
